Ch23 Pg43

Leona: Ben! *hugs him* You’re okay!

Ben: *surprised look at Leona* Y..yeah! So are you? Drake didn’t hurt you, did he?

Leona: No. But I thought he killed you!

Ben: Of course not!! *trying to save face* It takes a little more than that to kill me?

Cecil: … *looking at them with a frown*

Leona: *looks at Cecil* I saved your life today? I deserve a heroes parade! Leona the Conquerer! Leona, Savior of the King of Baron! *thumbs up to Cecil*

Cecil: *purses his lips* Explanation.

Ben: <: o

Leona: *falls over*

KJ sez:

Hee hee! Uh oh, Cecil’s busting up the party.

I wonder if he is more annoyed with Ben for causing the draconic infestation, or for the hug? The script makes it hard to tell. If he thinks of Leona as a sister, he may object…

Aywren sez:

I don’t think Cecil was too worried about the hug, honestly. Leona’s a huggy person and he knows that.

KJ sez:

Just making sure. I know it’s far early in the story for Ben/Leona to exist in any minds but that of the hopeful readers.

Aywren sez:

Heheh… well… it’s a hug closer here? XD

KJ sez:

Score one for the raving fangirls! *adds another check to the Ben/Leona poster on the wall*

Revanninja sez:

And Fanboys.

I rather like Cecil’s deadpan expression you can tell he does this far too much for his own good. Cecil is probably wondering where A Ben got the dragon B how he stuffed it in his room though Cyrstals know is messy enough to hide a Horde or two and C Which pair of Underpants did he enchant this time?

tali-demonic sez:

-squeal- so cute!!! me and my m8…currently reading over my shoulder… love the not impressed and the erk…cute!!

Lunar Kweh sez:

Love Cecil’s expression in the last panel. But… that’s siblings for you. XD

Ven sez:

Ooh, that is one look of foreboding and you-have-a-lot-of-explaining-to-do.
(I wonder (and someone will kill me for this) if anyone’s ever told Cecil he’d make a good mother?) XD

Anonym sez:

i thought Ben was the older brother… why does he have to explain himself to his little brother?

aren’t the older siblings just suppose to blame whatever it is on a younger one?

Jenna sez:

ven: AHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!!!!! *falls over laughing*
anonym: thats what i thought too…but what do i know, im an only child ^_^

Revanninja: *snerk* enchanted underpants *snerk*
KJ: i dunno…if you have a dA you kinda know about Ben/Leona already…
Aywren: FREAKING AWESOME!!!! i absolutely love *cant decide which panels* the whole thing! especially the second panel (which, might i add, does look a bit…umm… like it’s more than a hug)!!!!!

OMG!!! *saves with the Zemi-strut*

but wait…

weren’t Ben and Leona talking two pages back? *confused*

Aywren sez:

Jenna: Yes, they were. It just takes Leona a moment to realize she was really that worried for Ben. XD

Jenna sez:

heh, i shoulda known…i do that too XD
