How the hell did you manage to get it up so fast?

But anyway, the image did not load yet, I will read it tomorrow and so on so forth. But the chat was fun to get in on while it was being made as always.

I don't think that's a good idea Evals, you home was raided by foxes for Gods sake! (I think)

I said I was sorry. I only want to see if that would really work. As tempting as it might be, I’ll try not to do it again next time.

Me too, I was under the impression that he had been a slave for much longer.

Evals MAD!

EVALS SMASH!

(Swear to God that's the first thing that popped into my head when I read the middle panels. XD)

It seems I was spot on about those two; Evals wants freedom, and Mike is unsure. I feel sorry for both of them; Evals, for the situation he's in, and Mike, for not even being sure if he wants freedom. I think it's rather sweet though that Evals would be willing to let Mike live with him.

...IN A TOTALLY HETEROSEXUAL WAY, before any of you guys get certain ideas!

Evals, smashing stuff is just going to draw attention to yourself. Stop for a moment and think.
And as for Mike... If you had been raised with one way of life, and had gotten so comfortable with it, would you take a different one if it was offered to you? I don't think I would. Mike's response is perfectly reasonable.
I think the 'mutiny' may be something to do with Mike and Evals falling out.

Ya know, I never really did like Eric. With the last few pages in mind, more so.

Either way, I'm kind of hoping to hear a bit of backstory on Evals now as well. It'd be for a pretty interesting read to hear how he came into slavery and all. Also kind of hoping for these two ta break free, honestly. Don't know if Tom plans on doing another branch to follow in the story, but their escape'd be fun to follow.

Re-reading the middle two panels is now hilarious. Thank you.

Do you even know where you're going to go with Mike in tow, Evals? Surely you're not going to repeat what Natani and Zen went through in their youths and become a pair of petty thieves, are you? :I

I still have reservations about Eric's latest behavior, but dear god I'm concerned about what kind of stupid act you might pull off if you don't calm down, at least for a minute.

Can't say I was surprised about the anger. However, like some of you mentioned, I am now interested how Evals became a slave as well (and I too was under the impression that he's been a slave for longer than 4 years). As for Mike, I wonder what it's been like for him growing up as one.

I want to see them travel with :trace: :flora: :keith: :natani: without :eric:. And I wonder what :kathrin: will do.

And let's not forget about the mysterious figure hiding in storage. As for Eric... we'll see. I'm rereading the comic now, and I'm unsure about him. He can be funny, but with the recent pages, I sort of hate him.

I do not think Eric will remain alone. Remember that Trace and the others are research, and he has help. His head had to be a price now.

I'm liking this new arc because it's giving us a broader picture of what the world is like. We can see that Eric is a nice guy whose profession is morally reprehensible, but that alone doesn't make him evil. It just makes him a business man in a world where enslaved Keidran are thought of more as livestock then sentient beings. And remember we've seen Eric protest the use of control spells because it "kills them inside" but we've seen only one of his slaves without one. That kind of hypocrisy and favoritism actually makes the character a little more realistic to me.

When Evals said "For the first time, I don't have magic controlling my every action", I was a little confused. He has shown consistently in previous occasions before the tower went boom that he had at least a moderate degree of free will. The control spells don't seem to be as harsh as previously described, or perhaps we'll get some sort of twist ending where Eric reveals that 1-He never placed them(Unlikely, as Evals would have figured that out sooner), or 2-He placed a much weaker compulsion than normal(Also unlikely, for the same reasons.). The control spells were lifted when the tower exploded, yes?

Aside from that, why is everyone hating Eric for what he does? In this time and era, slavery is still considered 'normal', at least by humans and Keidran. Yes, slavery is wrong, but the civilizations are still in Pre-Slavery Eras, where it is considered to be somewhat acceptable.
