    Why, Payet, how very generous of you. And totally not a cover for “I’d rather sign autographs than do any dirty work.”

      I dunno, but when I saw that line I thought that Frigg is actually mocking Payet and calling him in some way a girl. Not sure where I got such an idea from, but it fits in my opinion.

        Probably because Blonde refers to a female and Blond refers to a male.

      To be fair, he is not a homely gentleman.

      Even within the liberal standards of modern usage, Best does not qualify in any way as a “nerd.”

    Frigg is more of the mocking type, after all.

    In the first panel, is Bes explaining to Byron why they brought Frigg along? Or why Payet is letting her sing?

    Gravedust is old, but he walks, talks, and even shares the class of a wise old coot. If he says, “Observe”, my guess is that you should take not of a bent grass blade.

      Best is making excuses for why he didn’t show up for the interrogation — “her” is Syr’nj. Who seems to have a disturbingly adoring look on her face.

    I’m surprised she’s singing about grog. That is a bit of a weak drink. It was deliberately kept weak enough that sailors couldn’t get drunk enough at sea to be unable to do their jobs the next day. It was primarily a method of keeping water fresh by using alchohol to kill off bacteria.

      She didn’t make up the song.

        The art stays pretty constant. It’s simplified a bit since the start, but that just means it’s settling into the style. I’d imagine they’re getting easier to draw, as well.

    Am I the only one curious and horrified if the next line of the song really is “fifty-FOUR flagons of grog”?

    I imagine there’s a god bit of clanking from the plate Frigg’s wearing, too, making a nice rhythm accompaniment to her song…

    I think a well made armor doesn’t clank too much. Although her shield probably makes a bit of noise as it hits her back.

    Even the best full suits of plate have a good bit of noise with each step!

    But yeah, that shield’s a real beast, and probably makes more noise than the rest of the outfit…

    Well, except the earer, of course!
