    Syr is finally showing of her tats.

    But seriously, they look great.

        But she doesn’t look too happy … maybe she misses Byron’s ‘berzerker’ mode … her serum is a sort of anti-viagra?

          That there looks to be the One Thousand Mile Stare… when the body slows to a stop, and the mind extends beyond time and space, meandering perhaps, but with great resolve.

          Only the best very sex brings that out :p

      He’s really got that “Doting grandfather” look down pat. Or maybe it’s just that Bandit looks so young.

          Panel 4: “OH FOR THE LOVE OF…”

          Panel 5: “Oh hey Babbbbyyyyyyy”

          The panel that launched a thousand ships.

            I saw panel 5 as Gravy remembering to take the advice he gave himself in panel 1.

            I’d hate to sink any ships, but to me, it looks like Gravy just became Bandit’s father figure.

      Considering Syr’Nj’s level of foresight, she’s probably dreading a “Meet the Fraxinus” scene. How do you politely tell your proginators that you’re no longer a virginicus and have been getting kinky biloba with a human? They’re gonna blow a phellodendron.

      …but it could be worse. At least she doesn’t have to tell them that she gave Byron “Ustilago violacea”.

      I’m guessing she’s still brooding on her little back to back conversations with Yalaria and Ardaic, and that she’s being sent to get her people into bed with a bunch of racist imperialist dickbags. (Yes, I’m aware there are metaphors in that sentence that leave themselves WIDE OPEN. I’m not changing it.)

      That explains a lot:

      “Wait, why is that less unappealing than I would have expected? I must ponder this”
