Ch15 Pg16

Zeb: You.. being a treasurer of many books and knowledge… do you read the last page of the book and merely accept it as truth? Wouldn’t you agree that you have to read the whole story before you understand what it is about?

Ben: Yeah… and you seem to be missing a few pages.

Zeb: *huffs* Fine then… *huddles up* You don’t have to believe me. I only hope.. that when you see it — it isn’t too late. Lunarians in my world.. have motives within motives… Just because you choose to see father in a blinding light.. doesn’t mean that is what he really is.

Ben: Maybe you do not understand. …I have been given the chance… to see my father again. Even if he is not really my father… he has treated me with kindness… he has reached out for me and accepted me. My real father is dead. I will never see him again. And you could care less about your own. Your hate is not going to take this away from me…

Zeb: *pauses* Maybe that is because I truly believe he is a threat.

Ash sez:

Ben looks so sad in that big panel. He looks so sad, in fact, that he made me sad, too. Poor, poor Ben.

KJ sez:

Great joke setup in the first and second panel! *goes back to reading*

Ash sez:

Joke?

Aywren sez:

Yeah, Ben’s “you seem to be missing a few pages” is a droll attempt at humor (joke). Which is how Ben’s sense of humor tends to be from time to time. XD

Ash sez:

I didn’t pick up on that… Perhaps because Ben looks so serious in that panel…

Aywren sez:

Ben tends to crack other people with a straight/serious face. But you’re right. At the moment it was a rather bitter type of humor, hence the look.
