I don’t think we’ll get another opportunity like this, so- LET ELLIE SAY FUCK!

I suspected he was prepared for even this, and I was not disappointed. Last panel of previous comic: it seemed maybe he wasn’t, but apparently he was just momentarily caught off-guard. Well played, Aria.
- Aria
  
  He was definitely already sure Ellie can’t stand him, but probably not ready for her to flip out and smash him into a ~~locker~~ turtle foot hehe

I heartily endorse the alt-text.

Oh Ellie, Ulrich is always going to talk his way out of a fight before you hit him.

I can’t help but notice this little exchange is catching the attention of the one who’s leg it’s happening against.

NOW KISS DAMMIT, SMOOCH BEFORE THE CHAPTER CLOSES THERE’S STILL TIME
- Aria
  
  I figured you would

Poor Pete, having people slammed into his leg. Forest Turtle does not deserve this.

Also has that ship on the left side of the page always been there?
- Aria
  
  It’s new! I put it up after the page where the ship showed up hee
  - Wereael
    
    I think I commented on this the update you put it up, hah.
    - Aria

Well, the Tain seem to think that the scam is his “life”. Not saying I buy into that, but Ulrich’d sell it if he felt it’d boost his chances.

Besides, Phin seems to know he’s not exactly being up front with her, and if she minds, doesn’t show it. (On the one hand I’d say she doesn’t really have a poker face so clearly shes doesn’t mind, but on the other hand, she’s so good at distracting the topic that whether or not she minds how shady he is could get danced around for days without getting answered.)

Personally, I think it would’ve been cooler if Ulrich played this off….well, cooler, rather than the threat reversal approach. More nonchalant rather than “Hurry up with your threat there before Phin comes back and tries calling your bluff”. But eh, I’m not him. (It’d be an achievement if I were as cool as his dice, or maybe his hat or glasses…..let alone him. But being him also does sound kinda rough, so….I’d probably take a pass on that…)

By the way, Ellie, best part about your argument in panel 2? He tried telling Phin that and she ignored him. Kinda wondering what would happen if Ellie tried telling Phin, now…

(Also, hoo boy even Pete’s glancing down at your….discussion, there, kiddos. Probably want to keep it civil or he’ll step on you. (Hehehe….))

  haha Ulrich’s charm is probably about at its limit, I think everyone could use a nap
  - Sandman366
    
    I’d ask when the last time any of them got sleep was…got this is still the same day as the fire, isn’t it? So Ellie’s probably rested well enough, it’s just Phin and Ulrich who might’ve gone a bit too long without a proper break.
