    I always discuss the possibility of sex when practicing life or death combat.
    Keeps me serene. And regular.

      I was going to say, panels three as and five would be wonderful additions to the pool of random avatars.

        Yeah, the next round of avatars will likely be very Syr’Nj-heavy.

    Panel 6.5 is Byron discreetly sucker punching Pardo for coming onto his betrothed.

      That’s probably another reason for the tone of her response. She didn’t even get to the showing part of the loving.

    Oh, panel five. She’s putting *so* much effort into suppressing that smirk that’s trying to claw its way free. XD

    Looks like Byron is gonna have to take command of the Peacemakers again. Has he already?

    Also in panel 4 I can’t tell, but it looks like Syr’s plate is meat and potatoes while Fr’s plate is a garden, are wood elves normally herbivorous, or is it just Fr? I seem to remember the elves hunting and having livestock, but I can’t remember actually SEEING them eat any meat.

      I think it’s that Fr is eating dessert while Syr is still stuck at the main course, struggling to make progress even with her food under the workload. I recall a conversation during Syr and Byron’s foray into the woods of the Ur animals a few chapters ago: when she told Byron to kill the Dire Bear, Byron was kind of shocked and like “but… nature!” and Syr just laughed, explaining that wood elves don’t see killing natural beings as inherently wrong and that they too hunt for food. It all makes sense in context of one of their overarching philosophies revealed so far: “…and so we forgive when life consumes life in order to live”. Also, recall Fr’s internal monologue on Scipio a little while back; she finds the smell of roasting meat delicious.

    Panel 3: Syr’Nj, inventor of PowerThirst.

    Panel 6:
    “Yes. Female wood elves have grapefruits, and the males have nuts.”
    “When do you harvest?”
    “…”

      Reminds me of when I was playing a mad scientist in a tabletop RPG–yep, had to end that session quick once I started making grant-writing checks. “Roll a d6…oh in 6 months you will get 20,000 double dollars to fund your research….”
