Transcript

Meanwhile…

RUMBLE

CLIP! CLOP! CLIP! CLOP!

Reed: (thoughts) Ugh… I should have been off duty an hour ago… Babysitting was not in my job description!

Reed: SIGH…

Reed: (thoughts) Not that I blame the captain. Who could say no to that face? …Poor thing. She's barely said two words to me. Hasn't even asked where we're going yet. Should I… say something? I don't know the first thing about kids. Much less a Keidran kid. I joined the guard to get out of being a mother.

Maeve: Miss… uh… Reed, Ma'am?

Reed: Oh? Yes?

Maeve: Are they… really going to look for my mom?

Reed: Huh?

Maeve: I heard some of the other guards talking as we were getting into the carriage… They said it wasn't worth the captain's time to go looking for a Keidran.

Reed: What?

Reed: That's bullshit! I don't know who said that, but he was an idiot.

Reed: The captain gave you his word! He'd only do that if he meant it.

Reed: He's already sent runners to all the gatehouses to be on the lookout.

Sign: RIFTWALL EST 155

Reed: And he's personally going out to check on your tavern himself right now. So don't you worry about it. We'll find her.

Maeve: …You said a bad word.

Reed: Oh, crap! You're… sorry! I forgot…

Maeve: It's bullshit! Heehee!

Reed: Hey! No! Don't repeat it! They're going to blame me!

  • I can't believe this arc is actually getting close to ending it feels unreal how long has it been? Speaking of when was the last time Meave was in the comic?

  • In the colored page Meave Maeve looking so sad is done perfectly, her blue eyes only add to that sadness.

    Believe it or not but when I first saw Alice Reed or more correctly back then Lt. Reed, I actually thought she was a guy. https://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/927/

    I spent years thinking she was a guy and I don't remember when I learned otherwise. It didn't help that I didn't read the Transcript back then, the name Alice is such a dead giveaway.

    And we found out why she joined the guard, to avoid being a naughty woman aka to get out of being a mother.

    And now to talk about Keiren going to the tavern. This is an opportunity to resolve this.
    https://twokinds.keenspot.com/comic/1098/

    Hasn't been confirmed but we suspect someone, or more then 1 person, is coming through. I believe it's been confirmed that Amelia and or Windstraw Kidwell won't be in the comic. However this would be an absolutely perfect opportunity to surprise us and bring in 1 or both.

  • Thank God Tom remembered this little story line. Adira was arrested almost FIVE YEARS AGO! You remember, lotsa' masks but to TP? That's how long we've been waiting. I legit can't wait to see who abducted her. I've spent those five years trying to figure out who has anything to benefit from kidnaping a relatively harmless, uninvolved side character? She's not romantically involved with any of the cast. She doesn't know anything she's not supposed to know. She has no money so that's out. To get their hands on the inn? In that case, wouldn't they have grabbed Maeve instead? I dunno...

    Well the Inn does have a portal (though currently inactive) in it. Whoever abducted her probably wants something to do with that portal.

    She said a bad word in front of a child. There will be no safety for her.

    That calls for a secret mission to the lynx kingdom clearly.

    Good call. What lies on the other side of the portal? I know it opens up in her sisters bar on the other side of the mountains, but what is on the other side of the mountains?

    You all seem to have forgotten that Trace came out of hiding to save Adira. That’s more than enough to get the interest of the Templar or Clovis’s cronies. Also, given the whole situation with the Templar and the Master Seer that’s coming up next, I think we can all make a pretty good guess as to who came after her.

    I didn't forget.

    Back when I started reading Twokinds, I thought the boat arc went on for ages. Now I can't even remember how long this arc has been going on lol. It's crazy to see it coming towards the conclusion. I genuinely haven't read through the entire comic in over a decade at this point, so maybe I should.

    It's also crazy to see Alice Reed as a human as well, I'm so used to her as a lynx at this point that I almost didn't recognize her lol.
