Well, this certainly got me to tear up. I SO wish they could speak the same language. These two really need to talk to one another.
Kess really wishes that too right now.
Very touching, very dramatic, but can we please leave the pit of raw sewage now? Eew…
I’m sure everyone there would agree with you!
Yes Uhh remind themselves to take a hot double no tripple with extra soup bleh oh by the way razorfox have you seen my tiger on twitter message ?
Mmm, soup!
Another Royal Guard Dragon being pulled into a moment of peaceful and emotional interaction with Tigers? Dear Gods it’s spreading!
Cleverly pointless censorship is clever.
Hope Xhianil doesn’t contract a case of the stripes!
The detail that sticks out to me the most is Xhianil’s hand. First a fist, then almost looking like she’s going to try and push Kilani away when she’s hugged, maybe trying to grab onto that fancy top. The hand is in roughly the same position after Kess’ long (and probably soft-spoken) speech, though the way Kilani turns back makes it ALMOST look like Xhianil’s grip has shifted to copping a feel of the tiger’s chest instead – purely by accident of course! 🙂 Poor dragon just doesnt know how to react to getting actual soft (if currently wet-nasty) affection from a tiger.
Now though we get to guess who is interrupting the moment, and which ‘her’ are they referring to – get away from Xhianil? Get away from Kilani, or Kess? Only clue we have is that it’s a Tigerian speaker. The list of Dragons who can speak reasonable Tigerian isn’t very long, so odds are high that Kilani and Kess may need to protect Xhianil from whatever group they’ve encountered just outside the Dragon city – wasnt there an attacking Tiger force incoming to take advantage of the confusion?
Would be a really bad time to swap page focus to another group XD
Ooh, someone noticed Xhianil’s hand! While it wasn’t meant to look like she’s copping a feel, I can see how it could look that way, but yeah, you got it right when you suggested she didn’t know how to react to the hug. Poor thing!
Ah crap… what are the odds it’s about to get violent or multiple tigers and dragons are going to be exiled?
Well, we know Xhianil’s a good cook and the Tigers are aces at hunting, so at least they won’t starve!
Go team outcast! Maybe Cinder could join them?
Poor Communication can Kill.
Kess makes the first move this time embracing the distressed dragon. Xhianil is taken aback but doesn’t resist. Kess expresses her wish that there wasn’t a language barrier between them. She explains that Flare attacked, and she was acting in self-defense. The tigress admits that Dragons scare her, and they hurt others. She does understand Xhianil’s thinking as she was or is, in the same position.
Kess wishes that one day the languages the two races have can be understood and they can communicate. The she’ll be able to say just how sorry she is.
Actions speak louder than words here. Kess captures what Xhianil is feeling and wants to understand it to understand her better. That is if someone doesn’t complicate things even more.
