Oh he is so smooth now. Sulvain's face is so open and shook๐
Lauren Sparks
Sulvain's expression is priceless ๐
Monika Eggers
Or the werewolf powers!
Rin Sparrow
Oh boy, you ainโt heavy! His happiness if giving him adrenaline and strength! ๐โจ๐
Mangsney
Oooooh, so many new things-Raziol-can-do-now to discover!! ๐ฅน
konata.ai
Waaa!! This was so smooth! Love it, and Sulvain does too!
Ethan Davey
Look at him being smooth
Bekahbookwyrm
I think that the training and exercise he does has to be for control and precision, because he got the strength right away
Zeth
That's it. Carry your husband! Those last panels are absolute perfection, I love their expressions!
seriesxiii
Oh not anymore baby your boyfriend is strong now!!
Lagiacrus
Not for a hot star boy who's had 300 years to work out so he can princess carry his man
Taylor
Raziol has been working out!
Juliette Wade
Oo, good pick, saltandcookies! I agree.
saltandcookies
This is my 10th time rereading the new pages, and I just noticed how the background fades away! Thatโs such a nice touch, to show that theyโre basically in their own little world right now. ๐ฅน๐
Juliette Wade
Yeah, my thought is that they didn't even know each other were alive, they can't just hop into assuming permissions for touch have remained the same. The fall is actually critical because it allows Raziol to touch Sulvain in a totally natural and unthinking way that is not fraught with possible romantic importance... but which functions almost like a first impulsive kiss. That moment when Sulvain touches Raziol's face and Raziol closes his eyes is the "kiss back" moment that establishes they have at least this much acceptance of touch permission. Which is when Raziol is like "So let me just grab you here and find us a private location, okay?"
Atlanas E. Kildarin
*imagines 17th century Raziol trying to do that* ๐

Oh, right! It's easier after all to recognise someone in a palce where you expect them mmm like I easily recognise my neighbours when they are near our area but not so well in the wild ๐คฃ the library setting could give Raz some dรฉjร vu that helped to connect the dots ๐ค
Atlanas E. Kildarin
To a certain extent, both of them may have forgotten exactly what each other looks like because of how long theyโd gone without seeing each other. Imagine trying to remember someoneโs face after ten years without seeing them, without looking at a photo. Now add 100 and more years. Then add a mask. ๐ฆน๐ป I think Raziol recognized Sulvain so easily in the library because it was a familiar place to see Sulvain in. He first met Sulvain in a library. The ball, on the other hand, was full of people. Raziol hadnโt been introduced to the possibility that Sulvain could be alive yet . . . until that dance at the ball, because I think he definitely recognized Sulvain, but didnโt fully believe it. He still hadnโt had a clue about Sulvainโs long life (wasnโt told yet). So when he sees Sulvain a second time, heโs more open to the possibility that it might be him.
KairaB
I bet Raziol has always wanted to do that.๐๐๐๐ฅฐ
Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)
I love this little "notice the parts of his personality that hasn't change" game! ๐คฃ
Sev
That makes sense! I am definitely excited to see where this is going!
KaiJu
All great points Sev, right now they are both in shock so the deeper emotions havenโt had the chance to surface yet. Right now all Raz can think about is helping Sulvain and getting them both to a place they can talk. Also 300 years is a long time, going back to the same physical affection they had right away is gonna be a little more than awkward ๐๐ฅฒ
charm
the swoon i swoned reading this
Mariel22
My face when I read this was the same as Sulvain ๐ซ
_Pop_Dog_
I love that, at times, Sulvain can look so serious and ominous and then, at other times, he can look like the most flustered and adorable bean ever.
Iselin
and then this page came out to melt our โ๏ธheartsโค๏ธ๐ซ .
Neko-san
Oh WOW!!! 0///0 Confident Raziol is quite something!!! And Sulvain's face is so cute~
Juliette Wade
My goodness, I've been reading back over chapter 11 and the foreshadowing, the comet reference... it's heartbreaking. I am SO glad they are back together at last!
Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)
I just remembered that I was talking with Iselin on discord and speculated that one of things Raziol could do is release Sulvain so unfortunately he would drop him, and he literally did the opposite ๐คฃ
saltandcookies
Raziol has changed so much, but in some ways, heโs also still the same Raz we know and love. ๐ It seems pretty clear from his body language and posture that heโs lost his shy, timid side. After 300 years of being immortal, heโs bound to get desensitized to some of the things he used to worry so much about. But even though heโs lost that innocent naivety, his curiosity and passionate pursuit of knowledge has remained. In the study room earlier, we got a glimpse at some of what he was researching, and you can see a drawing of the vampire lion thing that bit him. Even after all this time, he still has so many questions he wants to find the answers to, and heโs so driven and focused in his search for the truth. I think my favorite part is that despite all these changes in his mannerisms, and this new confidence and calm heโs found, you can still recognize some of his old facial expressions. ๐ญโค๏ธ Like the smile he gives Sulvain when he picks him up, or the way his eyebrows draw together with worry. I canโt wait to see more of whatโs changed and what hasnโt. ๐ฅฐ
Meli
Agree, at least a reeaaally long and hard-squeeze hug with tears until one of them starts to ask questions / people stare too much ? We do that kind of hug with my husband after only a week, I can't imagine 300 years ๐
Meli
But Raz still has his own documents back in that library room ! ๐ฏ And it's a mess !
Roedii
Nothing is too heavy with the power of love sweet Sulvain ๐โโ๏ธ
fancyface
Literally sweeping him off his feet ๐ฅน
Annika
When Sulvain sees the abs itโs gonna be over bro he probably gonna short circuit again
Brooke
Priorities! ๐
Sev
I'm surprised how tame their reunion is, I kind of imagined more raw emotions, disbelief and maybe even some sadness or anger at the fact that they have been apart for 300 years. Raz tried to find him or his friends but was unsuccessful and had to navigate a terrible existence of never aging and losing all his loved ones, having to hide from people finding out while prob. having to deal with blood thirst. His lover, who's own immortal/undead condition he didn't understand, promised him he would find help in his friends but he found none. Now they are reunited and it kind of feels like they were only apart for a few years. I am very happy they finally met again and I am excited for what is to come, but I wonder why esp. Raz is so calm about it, as if he knew Sulvain was around throughout the years? Did they meet at the ball and he realized but it turned out badly and he had time to deal with his emotions since then? Is he in disbelief and his fassade will break? I'm excited but I don't think I could be this chill with meeting my greatest love again after 300 years of being a vampire and not knowing my necromancer boyfriend was around forever as well ๐
LucianiKarma88
Uhhโฆ yes please!
Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)
Okay this all thinkin how Raziol has changed and that he was hard to recognise at The Ball sends me back to thinking about it We didn't have any glance at Raziol POV so he could have suspicious and just be in super duper denial, but it's still makes me think that he couuuuld be influenced by the river Lethe, a tiny little bit, tho I'm looking at every panel from chap 15 now and it's not like he drank it, maybe a bit through the kiss. Because Because he recognised his back in the library, his general body shape and everything and he didn't while looking directly into his dreamy eyes? And because I still find suspicious the "the chill of his lips!" - sounds a lot more like his suprise at Sulvain cold hands in the first chapter than "oh shiet I know those!" of someone who was kissing this guy a lot. So I'm getting back and forth with this idea that the kiss was like a catalyst to his memories, that Sulvain said will be back if he wont drunk too much. This essay is called "That dan- glass of wine will forever haunt me" sjdjdjfj It's Sunday morning, I over slept (I swear it's not because I woke up to read the page at 4 am, I forgot to set alarm)(I did it to the bus stop in time but barely) but all i can think is those two ๐๐๐ no worries only rainbows and prince charming carring another prince charming in his arms
Weens
Raz got that rizz. ๐
Jocasta
my guy wait until you get the ab jumpscare that we got a few pages ago
Jamie
Anyone else remember when Raz was the adorably shy one? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
PantherLion
Oh Sulvain, he lifted you so easily with the silliest and most mischievous smile, I don't think he minds or agrees ;3 ๐๐๐ after so long of being apart, it's so wonderful to see these two jiving TwT๐ซฐ๐ผ๐ซฐ๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ผ (Also secretly still hoping they'll realize that they were in fact each other's partners at that masqued ball so many years ago!!! >w< ๐โจ)
Iselin
now if he will also fly/jump them both out of there to a more secure place , I will melt.๐คฉ Raz sure doesn't care about atttacting stares. His smirk and Sulvain reaction , love it.
Hedgehoggoulash
This made me wheeze ๐คญ
Alys
Gotta ask yourself how heavy Styx goo is pound for pound compared to blood, too. Our boy could have some real density going on.
Alys
Oh my how the TURN TABLES!!!
Emily Rochester
Look how soft and squishy Sulvain is in that last panel??? I'm so proud of my precious idiot sons. Look how far they've come! ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ
Emily Rochester
Its what brought them together in the first place. ๐

Go go go!!

Friendly reminder that sulvain is real buff so he probably IS heavy ๐
Juliette Wade
Oh, by the way, KaiJu, I went and gushed about you on Bluesky. :)
Kirbster
So when I was in college we did a figure drawing exercise where we took turns play acting being passed out drunk and lifting each other off the ground so everyone else could get a sense of that dead weight when they drew. I was the first of the drunkards and on the first attempt my classmate was able to pull me up easily because I actually helped automatically without thinking. I had to really focus on the floor to not do that and on the second try he couldnโt lift me. He wasnโt weak, it just turns out humans are really heavy. Also Iโm pretty sure Sul doesnโt eat. Heโs had to barf up everything weโve seen him consume so far XD
KaiJu
Happy birthday Fritz! ๐ฅณโจ๐
Amaranth
๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ Theyโre back together and itโs wonderful and I canโt stop crying โค๏ธโค๏ธ
Juliette Wade
Quickly! To the Shaggin' Wagon! LOL
Juliette Wade
Yes, and I think this is probably what Sulvain was noticing when they met at the ball and he felt Raz's mannerisms were completely different.
Kirbster
Happy Birfday!
Kass
the glint raz has in his eyes hes so happy๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ

Good night friend!!

Raziol the Bold! Now with super strength and three centuries worth of charisma ๐

Not me checking my phone at 4 am and giggling instead of going back to sleep haha
Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)
Sesam carried him out when he passed after he saved Cirille. But Raziol is vsmpire-werekitty now so he just ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ "What? Like it's hard?"
Atlanas E. Kildarin
Ooh yes, Raziol remembered the maps. ๐คฃ Havenโt seen each other in three centuries, but maps!
saltandcookies
I interrupted the movie during date night to read this too. ๐ The right person will understand. ๐โค๏ธ
saltandcookies
No one said it directly to Sulvain that Iโm aware of, but Vivi once described him as โdead weight.โ Not in an insulting way. Itโs just that when people are unconscious (or dead), they canโt use their muscles to help you move them, so theyโll feel heavier than they would have otherwise. Itโd take a lot of strength to carry any fully grown adult in this position though. ๐
Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)
THE SMIRK!!! What happened to that guy!!!!?? He is so confident and prince charming like and aaaHh!! ๐๐๐๐ "we are catching stares Sulvain, let's move from there" *carries him out princess style* ๐๐ I'm going back to sleep smiling like stupid, byeeee ๐๐๐๐๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
Missiek43
I knowwww I have come back likr 4 times to stare at him
Missiek43
Good memory! I think he must have super vampire boyfriend strength now. I mean, kitty lady is ripped too!
Missiek43
Pffttt ๐คฃ no kidding
Missiek43
Not me squealing and grinning while I'm trying to make dinner...
Atlanas E. Kildarin
When he was looking for Sulvain after he was turned by space Kitty , Raziol broke Sulvainโs apartment door off its hinges. ๐ช ๐ I think heโs the one who broke down the door to Viviโs shop too, also looking for Sulvain.
Janoha Novella
I guess there's no need to break any ice. Raizol feels comfortable enough to carry him ๐
Juliette Wade
Eeeee I love this! KaiJu you guys are SO good at pacing omg! Make us wait over and over and over and then... quick. moves. in. succession. And not unrealistic ones given the historical context and the meaning of the stares. Just physical barrier-breaking ones. I am so into this.
Atlanas E. Kildarin
Whhhhy did I think this would happen?! ๐ I thought โRaziol will probably carry him, right?โ โNo, maybe not.โ โBut this is Raziol who is really nice and can break down doors and probably lift more than his own body weight, so why wouldnโt he?โ
Alyssa
Yessssssss! Sweep him off his feet Raz!!
JMM
Omg!!! ๐๐๐
Elsi
Not me grinning like an idiot while I'm supposed to be working. (My coworker gave me a weird look lmao)
Brannen
How would you know? Did anyone who carried you before say that? Has your weight even changed in 300 years? Does Sulvain even eat, now that I mention it? I know he's necromancing himself, but how does he replenish his energy? Both magical and physical. If it was explained before, I forgot and don't know where to look. Also, if Raz carried Sulvain 300 years ago (don't know if he did, and if so, don't know what chapter that was either) did Raz say he was heavy? Hold on. Sulvain, are you just saying/signing that because your so full of emotion of what's just happened, that that's all you can say/sign? Looks like the shock/astonishment of having found one another after 300 years just wore off. Now they're both back to having the casual/ackward/offhand conversation. I guess it's true in some cases. It doesn't how much time passes when two people don't see each other or are together (in this case 300 years). When those two people finally come together/see each other again, they can literally pick up right where they left off.

The sound I let out was so embarrassing. I'm blushing and I'm not even Sulvain. Raz is so smooth. ๐ณ I'm so excited for this arc!! I am really looking forward to the new beginnings and challenges in their relationship!! Also, does Raz have super human strength now that he's...like a vampire kitty (sorry, I don't know how else to explain him, please forgive me ๐ซ)?
