      I was going to be all vague about it, but instead, I think I’ll have Felix go straight to show it to the resident polyglot (cousin Mus)…

    Felix’s expression in the last panel suggests he’s not buyin’ it…

      I’ve been working those Felix-y expressions and giving them more refinement, but he keeps using only two (“suspicious” and “smoochy”).

        Given his recent experience I’m kind of surprised it’s not “suspicious” and “more suspicious”.

    Knowing that Felix and Domitia got into hair-mussing shenanigans last panel makes the look the ornatrix is giving all the better. “SIGH. Damn men, don’t they know how much work goes into this?”

    Perhaps the lady prefers her partners to have a lean and hungry look. Et Tu? DRW

      I suppose he could lose a few pounds. I sure could. I was thinking I should go back to swinging big swords at (un)suspecting people.

        there’s a lot to be said for swinging a great big sword about — does increase the breathing room, if nowt else.

        as for facial expressions, I expect that was one lesson Felix did absorb while still in the army — never volunteer information you aren’t forced to volunteer.

    I’m confused – some stuff (A) happens and then more stuff (B) happens and then A happens again along with some other (racy stuff), and then B happens again and it doesn’t look like the other (racy) stuff happened as Domotia’s hair is back to perfect before she sees the servants.

      I think it’s confusing and needs a little more bridging in between. Problem is, the different parts were drawn so far apart in time, and at one point I’d been talked out of/talked myself out of going where the story (and history) were pushing me. Let me see if I can clarify with some art revisions, then I’ll quietly make the confusing art . . . disappear . . .

      Running away right after mussing Domitia’s hair? Wham bam? “Alas, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!”

        and that’s one woman you don’t want to have feeling scorned, especially if you want to keep your innards inside and your nethers out of the fire!! ;-P
