I assume "No, not again!" means Natani is going to end up in a coma again, or at least Keith thinks so.
Obviously Zen's injuries are so bad that they've not only brought Zen to unconsciousness, but are doing a job on Natani.
Keith thinks so, I don't. This time Natani will remain conscious.
Having been through similar situations before when Zen was grievously wounded I think Natani will be able to block out the acute pain, or at least enough of it to remain conscious.
Intense pain can cause you to pass out, or it can keep you alert when you wish you could just pass out...

This time Natani was blindsided by the link suddenly being reestablished.

So, do the others still not know about her secret (or are too polite to ask) and she is still hiding it, or am I misreading something?
I'm unsure about exactly what "secret" you mean, but if it's the fact that Clovis was the one who established their mental link, I don't think it's been brought out before when they were telling their story
Who even looks at signatures anyways?
Multitasking is just a way to be less efficient at two different things simultaneously
That Natani has lady parts. I think only Reni and Roselyn don't know in the house, IIRC, and only Kat and Keith know the whole story on why she presents as male.

That was revealed to the whole of group A on page 942, so quite a while back.

Might only be a little thing, but I really like the way Natani's digging into that chicken leg. Excellent posing.
You know, when I first saw that, I thought that Natani was developing a nervous habbit; chewing on her own hair.
Hey, its the same color.
Sorry , but yeah, I was also imagining hairballs.
My mind goes to strange places when I am spending the day sick in bed.

While she was covered by Keith's cloak as they entered the mansion, I'm not sure Natani was exactly hiding it that evening. Roselyn may have noticed, as well as possibly remembering the face of who took her place in TDM (even if it was just a moment before the illusory disguise). Reni may have caught female notes flavoring her "for... various reasons" comment, as well as the fact that she was trying to hide it in her narrative. It's easier to hide intent behind words from others' ears than it is to hide intent from a mind reader.

That way Keith looks at her... it's subtle but so strong at the same time. You can read so many feelings into it: sadness, understanding, support, resolution... It's those little moments, those little peaks at the heart of strong characters that make me love this comic.
(And damn, I'm almost feeling sorry for Clovis. He's gonna try. And it's gonna hurt. )
Criminals are less dangerous than virtuous people: they kill less.

I think its more along the lines of not wanting to have to go into what will surely be a much longer conversation than Nat feels like having in a mixed-languge group.

My predictions for the next page.
Team A comes swooping in on the dragon
ZEN!
Trace?
Sythe?
Flora?
Etc.
I imagine that's in the cards soon, yeah. I wouldn't think it'd be the *very* next page, though - I'd hope we'd have one more page in the mansion before that. For one, jumping straight from here to 'arriving on a dragon' skips a lot of explanation and other setup, but more to the point it also seems to me that it'd be a bit of a jarring *emotional* skip. The current page ends on sort of an 'emotional cliffhanger' - us readers may be fairly confident that Natani isn't about to collapse again, but for the *characters* it's a tense moment. It would seem jarring to me if the comic went from the end of this page, with Natani crying out in pain and Keith's anguished denial, and then jumped straight to 'arriving on a dragon' without resolving the emotional moment the characters are currently experiencing.
