Third panel = awesomeness.
I still think it looked better with the moustaches.

Agree!
But for a really different and well done drawing, panel two is really good too!
As much as I like Laura, I like Natani and Keith together better. With that much pent-up tension they have got to be a thing :)
And having said all that, I'm crawling back under my rock. :)

Natani finally grew the balls to say it, and yet another long-awaited plot point is near its resolution! Hooray! I don't like how insistent Keith is being, though. C'mon, snap out of it! My favourite character isn't dying from a stupid spell!

Yeah, that third panel is absolutely amazing.
And pow, right in the feels. I'm liking this chapter more and more every strip. I think the thing that I like most here is that now, *Natani* is sacrificing something for *Keith*. Back on the island, Keith sacrificed his chance at acceptance to save her life. Here, Natani is willing to sacrifice Keith's good will towards her to save *his* life.
And ow, if you need any more proof of just how messed up Keith is right now, that line in panel one *stings*! I think that's the most outright hurtful thing he's ever said to her.
I wonder if anyone is going to pick up on the subtext of Nat's speech there? She managed to say it carefully enough that it isn't *obviously* a declaration of love, but it certainly isn't going to help those 'gay rumors' any.

If there is a battle between Keith and Natani, can we have the epic Obi-Wan vs. Anikin Skywalker Star Wars Episode 3 music?
But..... wow.....
And am I seeing a new avi for Asuka? Laura in panel 5 looks really cute!
And this is getting too much to handle between Nat and Keith..... *slowly backs out of room with everyone else in preparation for either Keith an Nat to fight or have sex..... You choose with your perverted mind.

Keith vs Natani. Who will win?... But seriously, this comic had emotions running everywhere. Too bad Trace doesn't know what's happening since all of it is in the Keidran language. haha
Overall, this comic is an emotional cliffhanger for the next comic... can't wait!

Before Laura; Keith: "Thanks for doing this for me, Natini. I promise I let her go and not do anything stupid."
After Laura; Keith: "STOP TRYING TO TAKE HER AWAY! SHE'S REAL"
Keith... the most stubborn [censored] of the bunch.

Natani doing what she's doing wasn't so hard to see coming.
Natani revealing her feelings in front of everyone - that was something of a surprise.
Looking at her in the fourth panel, I see something even more surprising that we've never seen before. Maybe it's just the frustration, maybe it's suddenly realizing how she feels, but it looks like tears are starting to form in her eyes. Poor Natani.

Natani - "blah, blah, blah I love you."
Keith - "blah, blah, blah leave me alone, I hate you."
Laura - "Keith..."
Everyone else - "gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!"
Keith - "blah, blah, blah leave me alone, I hate you."
Laura - "Keith..."

Kat: So...What happened at the tavern that meant so much to you, Natani?
It looks like Laura, or Keith's understanding of Laura's nature, is going to settle this. It's clear that Natani really does feel something for Keith and she also clearly believes that Laura's presence is killing Keith. Without regard for this being the "real" Laura, the effect is the same: she will not be willing to be the death of Keith, especially when he actually has something to live for.
Keith doesn't believe he's deserving of happiness. That's part of this whole mess -- he's trying to live in a past where he felt he had a chance to be happy. Now...Now it's not just his parents that died for him. He lost one of his closest friends, his fiancee, and any illusions he had about fitting in with his people. He no longer has a home, and he blames himself. He retreats from the world into his fantasy with Laura, partly because he believes he's unlovable. If Natani actually has feelings for him, feelings she's gone so far as to admit, not only privately to herself (which was a struggle alone), but publicly in front of everyone, then Keith, and this Laura, will learn something that Laura, when living knew: that Keith is lovable. And they'll learn something that the living Laura guessed at, that Keith means more to Natani than her happiness. That's a position that Keith knows all too well.

Well said, and I agree completely. It's too bad that Keith treated Laura so poorly back then, but I guess that was the same kind of pain as here being lashed out. Only now, of course, it's much more intense.avwolf wrote:snippity snip snip

Also, at the request of one of the UStream viewers, we have a wallpaper version of the “Epic/Extreme Nose Boop”.
P.S. I managed to snag the original version of this before it got updated.
P.P.S. I also have a crackpot theory that could be used to bring Laura back to life if anyone's interested in it.
Why yes, in addition to the usual ships, I support Zen X Kathrin and Alaric X Laura.
