An out of focus background. Note the brown/blue pattern in the wall. Clearly the loss of focus compared to the rest of the page was to emphasize the exchange between characters.
I think that, already in the third panel, Jarvis was beginning to give the “Hey, can’t you see me ? I’m here. I’m not speaking, but I’m here, you know.” look. And, in the fourth panel, Syr’Nj noticed that what she just said (“Only you – Ardaic – to protect me ? That won’t be enough.”) was like saying that Jarvis wasn’t even here and counted for nothing, sort of.
So she had that kind of movement, like a way to say “Oh, I’m sorry. No offense meant, marshall Jarvis.”
I didn’t recognize the Grand Marshal there, but with that identification this page makes sense again. I think that she was doing her usual buddy banter with Ardaic and unintentionally snubbed the Grand Marshal, who she does not have a buddy relationship with. She is in fact currently walking a wire with him re: the adventurer’s guild fiasco. She realized that she might be seeming disrespectful, too late.
Pretty sure Jarvis’ face is saying ‘I’m here too, you know’, but I am uncertain if Syr’Nj is thinking ‘I forgot Jarvis!’ or ‘He caught me flirting with Ardaic!’.
The “white moustache” was a feature of the helmet, I believe, and is probably a red herring to make us think it’s Ardaic. Honestly, Super Paladin’s speech and actions seem really out of character for Ardaic, but we know nothing about this Jarvis guy. Judging from that look he’s giving Syr… I can see him being the big bad paladin.
(I know the paladin had a badass name in the tags, but I’m too lazy to look it up.)
Panel 4 – what’s that brown fog around Syr’Nj’s face? Kind of a wood elf spidey sense?
Woodsy sense? Warning wood?
WARNING WOOD.
heh, morning wood:)
…The background?
I think it’s indicative of the late hour, as you can see some shadoweyness in the other panels too.

When Jarvis speaks, mountains crumble.
Translation: “Dis gonna suck.”
Having trouble understanding the look Syr’nj gives Jarvis in the fourth panel (bottom left)
Well well, if it isn’t everyone’s favorite disgruntled Tauren. Fancy meeting you here.
Do I know you Sir, Madam or Other?
my first impression is that she’s taken aback by his silent sneer

Especially since Jarvis is probably Ardaic’s boss. (Field < Grand)
Yeah, she realised she just insulted (unintentionally?) a possible ally (maybe now a not-ally, which is not the same as an enemy)
Ah that makes sense… though I recall him being near some of the other guys that weren’t happy about her earlier in the comics… Hmm.

Woops.
Those guys still haven’t got Syr’nj figured out yet.
They will suffer.
Maybe. Depends on whether she’s mentally prepared for what’s about to go down. She got pretty short notice of it, after all.
I can’t tell if he’s annoyed at the fact she isn’t taking this seriously, or the fac of her existence.
Time will tell I suppose.
Based on his actions in the past, I think he’s more annoyed that she isn’t taking it seriously.
DIS GUN B…yeah, I have no idea what the hell this is going to be.
I’ll go with awesome, one way or another.
Or plain boring, take your pick.
I love Ardaic’s face expression in the third panel, suppressing a chuckle. ^^

I though Scipio was a man of few words, but he’s a real blabbermouth compared to Jarvis.
That marble is absolutely swimming!
Whoo end of the archives , I get the feeling that maybe Jarvis is the paladin we saw kill the bear mother
Pretty sure that guy had a white mustache, among other differences in features.

Ah, quite right. By the way, the name is “Silver Centurion” according to the tags.
I still highly doubt Jarvis would be Silver though, but that’s just my own feel on it.
Why do you think it’s a guy? I’d assume she was a woman, although I couldn’t say why.
I had a similar thought when I saw a profile…
The moustache helmet feature would be strange for a helmet. My guess: No clue. I don’t think it’s Jarvis and it’s surely (I think) not Ardaic.
