[Aeolus]

Alt text: Eavesdropping.

I'm gonna pretend that it was the squirrel who said that.

[InceptionBwaaa]

Love it. Their faces in the last panel... so great.

And Sythe's crazyface in panel 2 made me lol

[Bachaddict]

That was worth the wait.

[BadFoMo]

And so, just as hypothesized, Zen's life is going to be saved due to his connections through Natani to Group A. Now the real question is, what questions could they ask to make sure that this link is legitimate?

[SpottedKitty]

Well, well, well... it's all starting to happen.

And of course, Zen was just pretending to be knocked out colder than a week-old frozen mackerel. I wonder how long he's been listening? Maybe not all that long, considering he still hasn't been in contact with Natani.

[requiembob]

I'm pretty sure he just confirmed it by naming Keith despite never hearing the name.

Also tfw when your avatar becomes completely redundant.

[Ketzal]

Totally the squirrel talking in the last panel. Just saying

[InceptionBwaaa]

Now what?

I think, after this, they'll cautiously pull whatever information out of him they need, and then they'll realise everyone's connections to eachother, become pals, and Zen will be freed. Then, Red wakes up.l, sees Zen, and pulls out his sword. Hilarity ensues as Red chases Zen around to the Chicken Dance Raine tries to talk Red down, and Sythe gives his 2¢, which pisses Red off even more, sending him into rage mode. Zen and Sythe have to disarm him, Red is still pissed, and Raine gives him a quick peck on the lips to calm him down. She forgets that she's in Keidran form, and he is grossed out, but calm. This makes Rains ashamed of herself again, and she is sad.

Thoughts?

Well, in this page you can see his ear perk up in the fifth panel, but looking back a couple pages I think he actually woke up in page 827. Before that, in 826, he's sitting slumped over with his mouth hanging open, and we can see his left hand loosely open and separate from his right. In 827, not only are his hands positioned differently (clenched and together), as a couple people noted, but his mouth is also now closed, which I don't think any of us noticed at the time. So he's heard Sythe's little bit of backstory, but I don't think he's heard anything else.

I'm kinda surprised that he would just blurt that out, though. I mean, I suppose between being surprised and perhaps still being a bit groggy that might happen, but still, seems rather odd.

Also, I love the subtle bit of body language in the third panel, with Sythe and Raine leaning away from each other ever so slightly in reaction. That's a nice touch.

Also also, Sythe's dialogue in the 4th panel - 'templars' seems a bit odd, shouldn't it be 'templar', given that that's the name of the organization? 'Templars' only makes sense to refer to individual members of the organization. I suppose that could be what he meant, but still sounds a bit odd. Also, 'arraigned' should be 'arranged' - I don't think he's referring to anyone being brought up on charges.

[DariusL]

Zen is now officially awake. He most likely already was, but now it is certain.

[deadman2011]

Yet again we see Sythe with his ponytail back to normal and with Zen talking now this is gonna be an interesting couple of pages of conversation. Gotta feeling Zen's gonna admit to failing to kill Group A embarrassedly I might add. This gon be fun on the bun y'all!!

[Bachaddict]

Zen's outburst is in Keidran, implying that the others aren't speaking it. Why?

[red.wolf]

First, Sythe physco face is priceless. Second, Zen now awake and the new site banner has him in the B team like one of the group so him joining up will probibly happen soon.

[Kyrit]

Raine's first language is the human one. Sythe speaks it very well. There's no use for them to switch to speaking Keidran on their own just because Raine's in Keidran form. It's been normal for their entire group to use the human language because, with the exception of Sythe (and Raine at times) they're all human.

Oh right, it's easier for Raine. I only checked the character page and saw they both spoke both.
