Annotated 38-19
Nicely paced, with the revelation of Jarvis’ voice given its proper weight.
Last panel is an interesting place to break out the King James Bible language, but if there’s one person there for whom government service qualifies as a religion, it’s Ardaic.
Also…there are no flies on Jarvis. If he’s not aware of Ardaic’s crush, he definitely knows that Ardaic is highly partial to Syr’Nj. He therefore cannot expect Ardaic to speak for him in this case, so it’s not just a dramatic flourish that leads him to dismiss Ardaic. He has no choice.

I find it interesting how Jarvis never sits proper upright. Fitting for someone who’s too cool to talk. And for a poker player.
And someone who hates meetings.
That sentence went really well with your avatar :)
Was it ever established why Jarvis has his own speaking-mouth-Ardaic? Either in-universe or in the commentary?
Ardaic introduced Jarvis as a man who “spends all his time listening,” so Jarvis clearly likes it that way, and Ardaic is above all else a creature of duty.
