Or so I hoped.
Let's all be proud of Duane for keeping on task and not dropping to his knees.

The activation of the dammakhert marks Alderode's foundation, and the mistake/change which introduced ghosts happened a couple hundred years after that. If the DK is a retroactive consequence of the mistake then it would need to rely on eels and squishes to run, meaning it was impossible in the first version of the timeline. That would be interesting!

Ah now everything is crystal clear :D

I mean yeah. He was ssael. I thought it was obvious. I guess the dammakhert was leftover from when he self-Annihilated.

There's such interesting layering here with the blood and gold. How interesting too that blood, red, eels- gold, squish, memory, the khert... Also love how Boo recognizes Jac and bows, like all squishes do! They respect the lion! Yes they do!!!
Ashley
You're gonna make him cry ;_;

"Mother expects father of all men. His blood. And his gold."

I don't understand what Lion is saying in 5th and 6th panel
Jeremy Ball
Purely psychosomatic.
Ashley
We rarely feel ourselves forgetting things. We just suddenly realise we can't remember them anymore. (He'll toss 'em in a sec, he's obsessed with the lion)
Ashley
Man, he's not chill at all. Ilganyag and her friend took a perfectly good lion and gave it anxiety. He's only happy when he's with Sette, yet she kind of hates him, so his vibes just aren't what you'd expect from a squish-lion. But then, Sette Frummagem's vibes aren't really what you might expect from an eel-girl.

If this not father then who was phone

I'll guess that blood and gold means Lady I thinks men will be like Ssael in both good and bad traits. I really like Jac's characterisation! When we first saw him last chapter I imagined he'd be annoyingly chill and self-actualised in a detached way

Whose symbol is a lion with a bird caught in its mane

Does Duane not feel the crows still plucking away at his insides
CD
Haha, the lion of mercy.

"She's proper cranky, mate." A belated interference, but at least a thorough one! I appreciate Jac is trying to pull a truce from ALL parties. His 'gold', hmm? 🤔
Ashley
Correct, which should communicate how scared he is for Sette and how much he wants to regroup with her. He can geek out later.
JarJar
Duane is so on task that he can’t even geek out about meeting a real talking lion. Remember that face he made when he saw the Two-Toes in Litriya? That times a hundred cuz Lions are both fully extinct and holy to him.
Ashley
Nothing good.
jaaama
If you had chosen another bird motif for Sessine I could say Duane has a great pair of tits on his chest now, alas, 😔... But to finally hear Jac speak! Ahh what's interrupting his sentence??
Luuuuuuu
Just for contrast I'm gonna imagine his voice as a distorted twelve year old boys - lions are different but remember he's Sette's twin, so compared to a fully grown lion he's proportionally small and don't forget he's got no balls.

This makes way more sense than how I imagined it haha.
Rifter
Lol
Ashley
I definitely don't think he sounds like a human. I think he sounds like a lion trying to make human words :D Voice far too deep in his chest, lips and tongue the wrong shape, teeth in the wrong place, sinuses too deep, lungs too big. You would never mistake his voice for a human voice and you have to really concentrate to understand him. Which is one reason Duane is staring quietly, but he fortunately has some experience speaking with two-toes, who sound a little similar.

Question Ashley: what is your idea of how Jac's voice sounds? Oddly, I'm imagining a low, raspy, but strong old man, with a frog in his throat.
