A good start to living a long, healthy life is to make a list of all the things you’ve always wanted to do but could never work up the courage to try, and continue avoiding these things.

  1. The Aussie Bloke says:

    Pay attention, folks. This is why tassels on the end of swords is a BAD IDEA.

  2. Sonja says:

    Caera has a quite surprising day. She should have taken a look on the chapter cover!

  3. Moxie Man says:

    Girri, you’re suppose to sink the sword through Caera, then rip it out and hurl it through the window. THEN, you “WHAM” Caera through the wall. But…eh…close enough.

  4. Unmaker says:

    Caera is supposed to be fast as well as strong. It seems unlikely that Caera didn’t get any action between panels 2 and 4 despite the fact that Girii had time to completely switch grips. The lack of counter strikes makes sense for panels 1 and 2 because Caera was a bit surprised, but not for later.

    But I do like seeing Caera get her ass kicked.

  5. SCAScot says:

    @Unmaker – remember, Girii is an empath. And she’s enraged. At Caera. It’s quite possible that this combination, plus actual physical contact making the empathic contact stronger, has simply overwhelmed Caera’s brain, meaning all the lightning fast reflexes in the world aren’t going to help.

  6. Ming the Merciless says:

    Caera Shou need to have a ceramic voice box there…
    That would kill anyone else!

  7. Demian says:

    3 different types of not-so-human females in a weaponless brawl. Cant wait for the next few strips.

  8. Ming the Merciless says:

    At minimum, Caera will sport Glasgow sunglasses…

  9. I would imagine Caera is also less experienced with her new abilities.

  10. Ming the Merciless says:

    Must have doubled the readership, what with everybody coming back two or three times to have a look at Caera getting whacked!
