Ch2 20
You know, if he had just left it at that, there would have only been a stern talking to. Insinuating that Hasera is so stuck up that she needed to become some kind of sexual pin cushion? Yeah. That’s slappin’ material.
My Hero!

Ah, she’s got gloves, not gauntlets, so that slapping-down could have been harder… as amusing as it would be for the Lark to get knocked out by the gauntletted palm of his own clueless Guardian.
well.. at least she didn’t backhand him, I remember seeing metal plates on the back of those gloves
Here’s a thought.
Lark is a functionally invincible hero, nothing can defeat him. He feels no pain.
He also feels no pleasure. Which is why he drinks and carouses as much as he does, trying to chase after even a fraction of the experience he remembers from before.
But there is one thing he can feel, and that is the touch of the Guardians that the Order magically binds to him.
This is Lark, remembering what physical pain is.
(Emotional pain, that’s another matter. And another reason for the afore-mentioned drinking and carousing.)
Huh. Neat.
I really REALLY like this theory. Just thought I’d throw in. 😃
That’s a good theory.
I don’t know if he can’t be beat, but it does looks like he can’t be physically hurt (invincible v. invulnerable). There’s not a scratch on him that I can see. Usually people in the Waving Sharp Iron Sticks At Monsters trade get scars or even pieces missing over time.
You are much closer then you may think about the way Lark is 😉
It was something I was considering myself, actually. Lark seems pretty much not to care about not having a healer, and with the number of Guardians he’s apparently gone through, it seems he’s pretty reckless. If he’s invulnerable – or, at least, believes he is – that might explain both.
Heeeeeeeeeeere we go
Aww, you took my response.
Pass the popcorn. It looks like both are in for a rude awakening and it’s going to be epic. I love watching characters discover others are not at all what they thought they were.
Get ready because here comes the shattering!
I’m thinking this is just what the Lark needs.
Yeah, a bit of attitude might be good for him. 🙂
This page is executed in an excellent fashion 😉 The sense of motion in that slapping panel is awesome! 🙂
Thanks Darwin =) I worked hard to get that slap right.
That would quite likely lead to loosening up but not necessarily in the way he’s meaning
Also, the slap is quite amazing “animated”, very well done
Thank You =)
You’d have done the same!
There was something bugging me about the dialogue on this page, and I think I finally pinned the problem down. In the first cell he says “You seem pretty prudish so you’d better take two…” I thought he was referring to drinks to loosen her up mentally which wasn’t even MENTIONED on the previous page… so my brain tripped on it.
After rereading it several times, I think what you meant was she needed a menage a trois to loosen her up… physically.
That is not clear… and I think it’s the page break that messes the flow of it up. The punch line doesn’t come through because the joke is split between pages. O_o
Oh no, the Wild West Salon silence where everyone stares at you and you know you’re in big trouble…
