Lifehack: Tell Kass she's pretty when she's angry, and she'll get very pretty all over your face.
Val Salia
Triple screwed, in the sense that at least a few Patriarchs want to screw
Val Salia

Val Salia
Ahhh, the ol' reminiscence-puke
Val Salia
Turns out he named the iron ball "Elim"
Val Salia
lol Hemmingway definitely knew his stuff! (You probably didn't want to be one of his characters though)
Val Salia
Aw yeah gots my CREW, REPRESENT

*Remembers this being not QUITE as heavy
Val Salia
Oh nice! The longer you wait, the more pages there are to splurge on >: D
Val Salia
Oh it sure is a place all right! Kind of a weird one
CompletelyNewguy
Not gonna lie, I was totally expecting a page where we see Elim get stabbed. I just realized that Kass may not even be able to train to fight as a Yinglet as it may upset the some of the Patriarchs to see a female fighting. So he's double screwed.
Varyon
To be fair, Kass' inner monologue didn't describe his weapon as the only thing he could rely on - he described it as "one of a shrinking number of things I can still rely on." It IS possible he no longer counted Elim as one of those things, due to Elim not handling the whole "cracking open another person's skull" thing verywell, however. If so, he'll be proven wrong long before they reach Val Salia.

New page. Yay! Flashback completed! Would Kass use a new weapon?!
Aulderbane
Oh, that transition was SO GOOD. Was wondering if Elim was gonna snap out of his with some bile at his side.
Flora P-Stylianides
I don't think I can really express how much I love this comic <3 Kass is wrong tho. The one thing he could always rely on wasn't his weapon. It was Elim. His best friend, always at his side
Caerdwyn
So basically both Kass and Elim are textbook PTSD victims and are trying like hell to conceal it from each other... and both have just had traumas of one sort or another to reawaken it. How did Hemingway put it... "Good storytelling: Make sympathetic characters. Then hurt them."
Little Napoleon
Great job on this arc, Val and crew!

Send clam.

Kass is now experiencing the trauma of awakening from a dream of reliving trauma wherin he reached for his safety blanket only to find that comfort lost to him. I sure hope somebody has invented therapy, and therapists. If not, the really ought to do that.

Memories of the way you were. Good effort however. (Suppressing laughing)
SpecialSpoon
Woof, finally caught back up after not reading for a few years. Woo!

It never occurred to me that Val Salia was a place.
