Hmm, looks like Warrel is going to let Sara out sooner than I expected. Seems he wants to fight Sarine by himself. What a moron.

What I really don't understand is why they're so upset at the elves. I mean, it's been how long since whatever perceived slight they might have commited against them?

Hard not to feel Jon's annoyance, here. All those years as a big-league assassin and he's reduced to comic relief.

Sarine does look elegant with the new duds and sword.

Sarine said "Jon", and Warrel said "Sara".
The two siblings now have all the hints they need for a family reunion.

Sara doesn't need the hint, she already knows.

"worn out my relevance" 8) Jon gets all the good one-liners.

Hell, I'd feel pissed off too! This has not been a good day for John. At all.

And yet again Sarine is showing him up and talking about "elf bullshit".

Points for him too, for trying to sneak out. Gotta love the guy in a big fight that just says "Screw it!" and tries to leave.

Oh fucking wonderful :D Big bad cocky Warrel thinks he is going to take on an Elf Ranger all by his little lonesome :lol: When was the last time Ensigerum fought an actual warrior Elf? Long before Warrel was even born, perhaps? He has no basis for his confidence, whereas Sarine has faced Ensigerum before.

Now, we still don't know which way Sara is going to jump. Is she going to switch sides and help Jon or try to kill him?

What would be hilarious is for Sara and Jon to sit down for a "tea and talk" while, in the background, Sarine proceeds to wipe the Cathedral floors with Warrel. The entire exposition can be handled with background scenes of Sarine and Warrel fighting.

Note that: When Jon tells Sarine to get out, he does so with some sense of feeling and concern. Nevermind that Sarine quickly disabuses him of that, the thought is there. Jon was trying to be all protective and shit. Remember that this is why Sarine wiped that memory in the first place, did Jon get a dispell?

Faced them? Hell, she <i>trained</i> their ancestors.

Seems to me Jon still has a strong thing for Sarine. His little speech about being 'so over' the memory wipe fooled no-one (except maybe Sarine). He was hurt as hell by that, by the betrayal of trust the memory wipe represented. But despite that, still takes a 'leave me, save yourself' attitude as soon as he thinks she's in danger.

Protecting the women-folk appears to be a habit, but perhaps less fulfilling when he has the power of an insect beside his intended protectee.

Incidentally it would seem that the durus flamma thingy floated... over to Sarine?

Elven weapons have a return to owner feature? That might help. >.>

No, she had it all along. Look at the first panel. You might also note that it's the same handle that we all made fun of as looking like a giant dildo. This may be appropriate since she's going to use it to fuck Warrel.

She brought the thing with her and it never parted her company, whereas Warrel had actually dropped his. This looks like the same thing as the Jedi do, it's a property of the owner and not the weapon.

The other thing that would be funny is for Sara to simply say "No". Dumbshit Warrel then tries to take out both Sarine and Sara, simultaneously. However, I like the "tea and talk" option better :3nod:

Yes, I knew she trained their ancestors but the last known fight she had with them was when her husband got killed.

Warrel is gonna die!

I think that he's from the religious right Ensigerum that doesn't approve of inter-racial marriages. They used to call black chicks 'whores' too whenever they were hanging with a white guy. Warrel the moronic bigot immediately assumed that Sarine was 'using' Jon the same way.

There is so much to not like about Warrel. Warrel is gonna die!

Well the elves did essentially play God with the humans, then ditched them when the half-elves seemed like a better bet, then picked up their stuff and went home when everything went to hell. Any human who knew the history probably wouldn't like the elves very much. There might be more to it for Ensigerum members, who were the elves' toy soldiers or whatever.

I'm interested to see how this plays out. I'm not quite as certain that Sarine will come out unscathed from this. If all she knows of the Ensigerum is a couple thousand years out of date, they may have developed some surprises that Sarine will have to be aware of. The fact that Warrel is not even quaking in his boots even though he obviously knows what Elves are capable of sets off warning bells in my head.

As for Sara and Jon, does Jon even know his sister is alive? He could be in for a rude shock when he realizes that one that his own family is now out to kill him. In spite of the danger, he might not be able fight her on principle.

I'll be interested to see how wielding that blade will effect Sarine's mentality.

Interesting, but not necessary. It seems to be a trope in most cultures for men to call a woman they are angry at a "whore." Something to do with the patriarchial mentality.

I was reading a spin on the Illiad this past week and the Greeks and Trojans share one cultural habit: they accuse men they don't like of being "dogs" and men who don't fight of being "women." Ajax, Achilles, and Hector dissed each other like Marine boot camp and your junior high playground.

Slamlander, please, please stop saying that Warrel is going to die. No offense, but you've been gleefully announcing his fate since like a week ago. We get the point. Personally, I think he might be in for some serious hurt as well, but my brain has been in for some serious hurt after seeing the pronouncement "Warrel is a dead man!" the twentieth time.

A human just doesn't win agains a fucking elf, damnit. Our only advantage is that we can send in a hundred expendable soldiers backed up by a hundred more archers against every single elf. Our replacability is the only thing going for us.

The proper tactic in this sort of situation is to fall back and send in 20 or so of your best ensigerium goons... or just consider it a lost cause and find prey elsewhere. Or, if you really want, poison Jon's beer two days later.
