well, it broke, but no explosion like i hoped :P

It seems natani is comfortable to be seen by keith without being covered up by cloths or illusions. And whats this about taking credit for sucking the air out? Someone is vain. :trace:

I wonder if they'll discuss the kiss...? Or did they already do that and I forgot already? OTL

It's nice to see that she can relax and let down her shield with someone else other than her brother. I think everyone needs that every now and then.

Also, Keith's bandage has swapped ears in panel eight.

Ok, so now we know that mana crystals make a "POP!" sound when they shatter. :D

Edit: Saved the page in case Tom corrects the error in panel 8.

"You're the closest thing I have to a friend" can be taken very badly... in the "You're not a friend, but close enough" way.
But that's just me being cynical... Natani's really relaxed and has let her guard down here, I hope Keith doesn't read into it how I did! She was worried about you, run with it!

I personally think she likes him too much to just call him a friend, whether she knows it or not. Probly subconsciously going overboard to hide her feelings.

She hasn't friendzoned Keith yet, if you know what I mean. :)

This is my favorite kind of flashback - the unreliable narrator variety. (Yes I know it's technically not a flashback but I don't know what word you'd use to describe this event)

Anyway, it's pages like this that make me wonder why folks keep complaining about Natani getting too much narrative exposure. She and Keith are the most interesting and compelling characters in the comic, in my opinion, and they've both developed a lot over the past few chapters too. Compare to Trace and Flora, who have remained mostly unchanged since the comic began, despite (purportedly) being the main characters. I know it kind of seems like I'm asking for mutually exclusive things (more keith/nat screentime, more character development for trace/flora), but it's mostly because I have a reason to care about Natani and Keith; so far, Trace has been basically a plot device, and Flora has been more than a little useless. Tom is a far better writer now than he was at the start of Two Kinds, and it really shows. But - and hopefully this doesn't come off as presumptuous or patronizing - I think that the story would be served very well by an event or two designed to clean up or expand upon some of the weaker material from early-on in the story.

Back on-topic... from the looks of things, I suspect that Natani might not have realized that her mana crystal just broke. She complains about the illusion lasting "half a minute less than last time", but if the crystal had broken the last time she used it, where'd she get this one? I think she's assuming that she ran out of mana or that the spell expired, and I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up making a mistake later on by assuming she still had a crystal left.

And about the "closest thing to a friend" comment, all I can say is that she's a very guarded individual, and she might not be trying to assume reciprocated friendship. What she probably means is that she likes Keith, and she likes having him around, even though she isn't sure he likes her quite as much.

It probably has something to do with Keith knowing the secret and being all right with it. That, and I think Nat has almost spent more time naked with Keith than clothed, so they're probably used to the idea, haha!

It's nice to see some character development past the 'accidental and awkward nudity' phase and into a more relaxed setting.

Yeah, I thought of that too... Just that's usually not what's meant with that wording. :P
Agree with Divenity more, subconscious downplaying. Just be careful with the downplaying, Natani!
