I'M BACK!!! and flooded
Just want to say that I thought the whole coverage of Bern's opportunity to sleep around was done VERY well.
I liked the idea that Bern was caught off guard by this development and lashed out at May initially, feeling like Maytag's lack of desire for Bern to be dedicated intimately and emotionally to her only was almost like a lack of concern for Bern or their relationship. Bern's consideration of the situation and response that Maytag was all that she needed was both heartwarming and spot on.
I'm not sure why we didn't see more debate about this. Maybe it's just the Christmas season with not many people (including myself) logging in. I could just have imagined the cries and screams at Bern's conservative stance and speculation that their relationship would disolve or that Bern might even take up the opportunity to be intimate with others or allow Maytag some kind of leeway provided she was discrete. Then we'd all have been shot down by Brion's choice of a beautiful and well in-character response that just seemed to wash it all away.
P.S. if the Showgram is the side-plot... I'm verymuch looking forward to it. Besides! Just means that Crest gets more sword practice in.
P.P.S. WOW! Another week skipped! The comic timeline is really moving now! I wonder How Bloody Mary is doing with the bandits, or Qtalda's hunt for her and Melter's plans to take back Maytag who'd no-doubt become very well known, let alone what Moss and Fata are up to.
