Thinking maybe Rockboy is happy to see papa? Still, that flying pounce is bound to hurt without some magic intervention by Trace... or otherwise.

I think it was more like a sudden reaction to intruders, like a dog in the time between when the doorbell rings and when your friend lowers their hand for the dog to sniff. Next page, I bet the guardian stops at the realization that it's Trace, or else is stopped by whatever monstrosity lurks behind that door.

Also, Flora: Reasonable guess, but doubtful. Old Trace's magic was pretty solid in its construction, I doubt one additional body would throw a teleport off by all that much.

Trace's glove magically disappeared in the first panel, and his hand underneath is fine. Epic foreshadowing, or massive oversight?

My guess: Tom probably drew the image facing to the right, then flipped it after when he was laying out the page (probably) and just forgot about covering the hand.

I could see that happening, but something also says that this is going to be a serious, no comedy chapter.

P.S. Insert my usual request for the first version of the page here (blast my irregular sleep patterns and forgetting the Saturday is update day!).

Looking like an attack, I doubt this guardian is capable of hurting Trace (other than by accident). In fact, I think that "WARK!" in the last panel is it suddenly stopping rigid as the stone it's made of (will it fall over from momentum or off-balance stance, or remain standing?).

Hurry someone toss him a biscuit, maybe a whole box. I have a sense someone gots some sweet sweet exposition-heavy ‘splainin to do.

“Welllll Trace... I bet you’re wondering just why you’re hehheh-hereeeee

:shock:

Oh God! D: God no, I hope that thing stands down before it hurts someone ono; Can't have either of these two get hurt already

Heck, I hope it's just a good, obedient lapdog to Trace and present company in the next page o3o;

On the other hand, Trace better be quick if he wants to defend his family! Would be a shame if he has no choice but to destroy that guardian, though, that could come in very handy down the line. All the same, let us pray they're either rescued, can escape, or have a little period of relative safety o.o;

the lapdog option everyone's thinking of course, I can see being likely xD That'd be pretty funny to see that even old Trace got pounced by something!

Edit: I just realized something: there's still that other door in the side passage, the passage the guardian is hiding in! Maybe we'll find out what's in there? They could make a rush to it, it could be a way out, or maybe one of Trace's other personal rooms, like where he might've kept information? Information Trace may be looking for, about his old self... that *could* give him more understanding over said old self, perhaps even an advantage ouo Heck, maybe Rose could be waiting for them on the other side (hopefully with an explanation) Why is Stonie hiding in there instead of back on his pedestal, though? You'd think he would have gone back to it after Maddie and Karen escaped.

"Escaped" makes it sound to me like they had something to do with getting out of there themselves. They were extracted, sent to time-out (dungeon). :Maddie: :karen:

My guess: Stone can't move when there's nobody else in that hallway. So wherever he was when Maddie and Karen were transferred out of it (after adjusting for his existing momentum, balance, and gravity), that's where he stayed.

His thus being off his pedestal would alert Trace, next time he comes by, that someone had been in the hallway.

It would if this were old Trace, new Trace knows nothing about the statue/guardian, including where it should be standing. Correction, he knows one thing, that something is coming behind him.
