Nope, she's tearing the steak in half in her teeth, like a proper predator. That piece of cooked meat never stood a chance!

Maybe, maybe not. I just find it odd that she would pick the other half up and start eating it from the end that isn't torn. Plus it just looks like a complete steak to me anyway.

Haha, looks like Reni really isn't really much of a morning dragon, eh? She really does think out loud quite a lot. I like that she has a little nightcap too xD
It also seems I might have been giving Rose's intuition too much credit. She doesn't seem to quite have Trace and Flora figured out. I guess she is still expecting a more harsh (evil) Trace. I wonder how she'll react to the whole amnesia thing, if she finds out.
One last thing; I have literally no idea what Flora was trying to say xD Maybe it was in Keidran lol

its unclear how much rose knows about their relationship, the whole 'whats your game' means she knows SOMETHINGs up between them but not what

Basically I'm hoping for a scene of

Rose: Sir, if you don't mind me asking, what is Trace's relationship with the tigress?
Keith: oh she's his fiancé
Rose: O.O *queue spaze fest*

We've seen before I doubt Rose's intuition could possibly prepare her for this unbelievable shift in her employer's demeanor, much less the company he now keeps. By the way, Flora is saying, "That's racist!"

We've seen before that Reni has issues filtering her thoughts. I doubt Rose's intuition could possibly prepare her for this unbelievable shift in her employer's demeanor, much less the company he now keeps. And Flora is saying, "That's racist!"

Reading over the page again, does it strike anyone else as odd how shocking the premise of eating with Trace & Co. seems to Rose?
Roselyn wrote:"I... can't"
WHAT!? You... "can't"? The dialog before that makes it even weirder, like I can see if it has to do with Trace's past and him being innocent now suggesting naively with a "Yeah?"...but I'm sitting here like, "Can she... not eat!?" :shock:

The delivery is just really odd, and it appears that way on purpose. There's a slight reddening of her cheek there too...just the weirdest mix of signals going on. Is it her history with Saria or maybe it's just that as a service person that is just not proper in any way, shape, or form? Perhaps part of the "Manor Manners"? Hmm.

Actually, aren't Trace and Flora more than fiancées? As far as they are concerned (with the Subtle flowers, twice), they are married, aren't they? Trace seemed to confirm this too recently when he called Flora, Duchess Trace.

I like how surprised Rosaly is from Traces question - so she still believes he is the same person who left the last time and is somehow convinced he is putting up an act?

But Reni steals the show with her entry :mrgrin:
Just knowing how Nora always acts like a all and mighty dragon (this isnt meant negative) and then seeing this prinzess not beeing a morning person (or normaly always sleeping and never have to fight) is just to much. She should get her own story in the future :grin:
Just an average internet user and :natani: & :raine: fan

My head is full of ideas, but i cant get them on paper - Please brain start thinking about important stuff.

That does appear to be the case, and thank goodness!!

Rosaly strikes me as someone who could be extremely dangerous, given motive and opportunity.

Poor Reni. She's just a neverending fountain of awkward moments.
If the universe is infinite, does that mean that there is a version of me out there who's thinking the exact same thing?

While we're on the topic of alternate universes, is there one where I'm a lawyer? If yes, then I may be more evil than I thought.

Silly thing to debate about, but the stake's clearly tearing in the first panel, and Flora rips the top half completely off in the second, holding on to the bottom half. She's eating the meat like a tiger, not like a human; that's kind of the joke.

I don't think so? Rose just seems shocked that Trace would do something so outlandish as inviting a servant to dine with him, against all etiquette, and his prior personality. I took the blush to be just embarrassment for an embarrassing suggestion.

I might see things that aren't there, but I like the subtle wording.
Reni wrote:Grraawr~! Lousy sun… Lousy wolves… Lousy war… All a bunch of…
And I thought it was just a minor uprising of the wolves. But if someone as (relative) powerful as Reni refers to it as a war, not as a conflict...

And the door slamming was Roselyn leaving and entering Reni's quarters to give her something to eat. While Reni was radiating her rants about wolves.

(Sorry, had to xD)

I think Rose is either thinking Trace is putting on a show or she currently has no clue what she should think about all this

Also, Flora is absolutely adorable again, as is Reni
