the face1 says: what on earth is she doing out here?
face2: Meela, you better get to bed little lady!
kneels down: Meela are you listening to me?
face3: C’mon it’s time for bed
face4nod: I am really failing at this parenting thing aren’t I….
I think the experience of nearly dying really did mature her. We’ll just have to wait and see! (Oh, it’s ALWAYS waiting…. and then seeing…. but waiting first…. *sigh*)
I can’t put my finger on it but there is something about this page that has just made it one of my favorites. Maybe it’s the big brother personality we are getting from Feral right now. By the way does anyone know what time periods this is in?
I’ve been trying to puzzle out the time period… the blue jeans have thrown me way off. Denim blue jeans were created sometime in the 1850s-70s. Obviously this isn’t “our world” but that might help pinpoint an era, unless blue jeans existed in a previous era in this world :)
Hmm so for the time being it will be safe to asume they are in the 1800s? I guess that’s the best place to start.
arthour
hmmm, nooo, i don’t think 1800s are right, remember the gun? design looks like a rifle, maybe Winchester (which definitely was not around in the 1800s) not a musket, im saying alternate reality of some kind

I just recived a note from Celsse on DeviantArt. Aperantly the creators did not reallly pic any main time era to base the comic off of. That it was a mix of modern with old fashion. Seems like the time ear could be ALMOST anywhere now.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEASE Tell me there’s going to be a hug from Feral soon!!!!! I love this page so much…these rare moments when we see a softer side to Feral are just precious! I love his expression on the botton left panel! <3
Gah! I love his facial expressions on that page (68)! They are all so amazing!!!!
His faces on this page are wonderful too…. they are so concerned and caring….
The long-awaited interaction between Feral & Meela begins! I’ll try to keep my incoherent noises to a minimum.
I adore the layout of this page – how it starts and ends with open panels and the panels in-between create a nice variation. My favorite panels are the second and fifth, though. In the 2nd, Meela’s face looks so weary, and the way y’all drew her mouth while speaking in that panel is great! Definitely digging how Feral kneels down to interact with Meela on her level. That simple gesture speaks volumes!
One other thing about this page: the misty forest feel is fantastically done. I look forward to the next updates with an eager grin on my face.
I love that Meela still looks sick. I hate it in movies when a character is deathly ill and then, in the very next scene, fit as a fiddle. Thank you for adding realism to this situation; it reinforces how serious her condition was/is. Love this page! ^_^
D’waaahhhh, lookit you, Feral, all big brother. I positively LOVE that third-to-last panel. You can just TELL looking at his face that he’s trying to ask “what’s the matter?”. Just. Awwww. You so big brother. <3
Also I agree with Annie C! Thanks for keeping the realism and having Meela still look ill, it adds a lot. Just wanna hug her even more. :C
awwww So brotherly Feral ^^
I want him to give Meela a hug but knowing Feral he’ll put his hand on her shoulder with a ‘it’s ok’ sort of look on his face. Still a sweet moment ^^
I cant see him doing it, but I so badly want Feral to give her a hug, she needs one. This whole page is just amazing and adorable and I’m so sad we have to wait a whole week to see what happens next XD
Feral is so precious when dealing with Meela. Doesn’t need to be able to say a thing, his actions say it all. Such a good brotherly figure, something she really needs. I hope they’re able to get it together though! I feel a storm a’brewin’!
Gosh, Feral looks so young on this page! :o
I know he’s suppose to be in his late twenties or really early thirties, right? But he looks like a teen here. <3 He's still pretty awesome!
no but seriously I love how they’ve gone from “Bounty hunter with random(unwanted) pup” to “Bounty hunter with some random pup her really cares for” :P
The emotions on this page are just absolutely perfect. Especially for such a telling moment…it’s the first time Feral’s willingly interacted with Meela (without her following him around or being close to dead) since the beginning.
Goodness, Meela looks so sick (which I really appreciate)! Also, I enjoy the interaction between her and Feral right now, they seem close. I look forward to the next update!
No, I don’t think so. She seems too…. withdrawn right now. Too serious. It’s more likely that Feral will initiate some sort of contact. Probably not a hug, but maybe touch one of her hands or her shoulder or somesuch.
Not much of a commenter but this… this is… I mean… just… THIS! Can it get any better? Why doesn’t the English language have the proper words for this!?!?!?
Something about this page makes me feel it in my heart, and I melt… Feral IS a kind hearted guy… something makes me think that he’s going to give her a hug next page… KEEP THE LOVE FLOWIN! :D
Feral looks really young in the 6th panel. And so caring. His eye looks like it’s glowing, but at the same time, you can tell that it’s just the moonlight on it. A different kind of glow….
Gah, this interaction between Feral and Meela is AWESOME! I’m really excited for the next page! Hug her, Feral!
I think it’s still a little too soon for a hug from Feral. You two are so perfect at pacing your character development and plot, so I’m sure the next page will be amazing. :) Great job!
I can see the next page being Meela trying to laugh it off (or admitting her feeling of terror), then Feral surprising her by hugging her and letting her cry on him. And then Holland finds them asleep, curled up together. I want that, so bad.
I can. I passed out and came a couple inches from slamming my head into sharp metal. I went to sleep that night with a busted tooth and a puffy lip. It’s surprising how well you sleep. But for Meela it’s probably the fact that she’s afraid to dream. Her last dream, she discovered something about Feral. Given as her dreams have been weird, she might not want to sleep simply for fear of dreaming. I can get on board with that one.
At first I saw Feral and Meela sort of like Tsume and Toboe from Wolf’s Rain. Now, they’re almost like companions. It’s so strange how annoying younger kids grow on you. The harder you try to dislike them, the more they get you to like them. Also… no view of Feral’s left hand here. Anybody else notice that?
Has there been any sort of comment from the artists on whether Feral’s younger appearance has something to do with le magic or just evolving art styles? ^^ His features seem consistently more softer after he fought with that cat-person.
I love that page and I’m looking forward to next weeks update. This is all playing out like a really, really good and emotional roleplay, making me miss my GM, but aside that good job on the page. =)
Considering the opening image of the chapter I believe that Feral is going to teach her how to turn into a wolf soon enough. That shall be an interesting thing to see.
He isn’t intended to look younger, but if he does then it’s probably just because of our evolving style. I did draw his hair parted the wrong way on this page though. Oops.
or maybe he looks younger because he’s not glaring at anything XD that glare does make him look his age, but when he’s not, he looks about 10…20 years younger! It’s not your style, it’s the physics of his face! :D
I have said that phrase so many times hahaha though usually it’s after almost tripping off a three story building… Not being stabbed ruthlessly by a crazy monkey man with poison daggers…. Yah I’ll just give you a hug.
I really like this page. Dang how I’ve missed these scenes with Feral and Meela conversations :)
Can’t wait to see the continuation, hoping for 2 pages this friday :D
Just reread the whole comic again just because. It’s been a long journey with this one! I remember I caught up with the story right after Feral killed that old guy who didn’t kill his wife. Anyways I just wanted to say that this is one of my favorite webcomics and that I love Feral and Meela so much and that his expressions are probably the best ever. Its always exciting or interesting or funny or all of that, every single page. I love that
That aside, I just wanted to say how much appreciate your consistency. A lot of comics I follow have set dates for releasing pages but rarely adhere to them, sometimes they are weeks off. Of course viewing is free so you can’t really complain, but it makes me happy that here at least I’m never disappointed. If you say a page is coming out on Friday, I know it is. I don’t really recall if there have been any hiatuses with this comic, but the point is thanks you for being so awesome. I love this comic, like seriously I anticipate Fridays because of this. :)

Rach
Oh, I love the interaction between them. He seems to have a brotherly kinda concern for the poor pup…and she seems to have…mellowed, for now. Matured?
Love this…keep up the great work.
KaelinaLuvsLomaris
I think the experience of nearly dying really did mature her. We’ll just have to wait and see! (Oh, it’s ALWAYS waiting…. and then seeing…. but waiting first…. *sigh*)

Griffin
I’ve been trying to puzzle out the time period… the blue jeans have thrown me way off. Denim blue jeans were created sometime in the 1850s-70s. Obviously this isn’t “our world” but that might help pinpoint an era, unless blue jeans existed in a previous era in this world :)
RainbowSocks
Hmm so for the time being it will be safe to asume they are in the 1800s? I guess that’s the best place to start.
arthour
hmmm, nooo, i don’t think 1800s are right, remember the gun? design looks like a rifle, maybe Winchester (which definitely was not around in the 1800s) not a musket, im saying alternate reality of some kind
RainbowSocks
I just recived a note from Celsse on DeviantArt. Aperantly the creators did not reallly pic any main time era to base the comic off of. That it was a mix of modern with old fashion. Seems like the time ear could be ALMOST anywhere now.

Awwwww this is too cute! Love that Feral is trying the caring, gentle approach ^_^
I wonder if Meela will mention anything about her dreams to him?
LOVE the page, can’t wait to see more!

Meela is totally going to hug/tackle Feral.

No, I don’t think so. She seems too…. withdrawn right now. Too serious. It’s more likely that Feral will initiate some sort of contact. Probably not a hug, but maybe touch one of her hands or her shoulder or somesuch.

yeah, he’s a real softie.

man, no wonder she couldn’t sleep.i probably wouldn’t sleep if I’d nearly died…..
Atkinsa
I can. I passed out and came a couple inches from slamming my head into sharp metal. I went to sleep that night with a busted tooth and a puffy lip. It’s surprising how well you sleep. But for Meela it’s probably the fact that she’s afraid to dream. Her last dream, she discovered something about Feral. Given as her dreams have been weird, she might not want to sleep simply for fear of dreaming. I can get on board with that one.
Robyn
At first I saw Feral and Meela sort of like Tsume and Toboe from Wolf’s Rain. Now, they’re almost like companions. It’s so strange how annoying younger kids grow on you. The harder you try to dislike them, the more they get you to like them. Also… no view of Feral’s left hand here. Anybody else notice that?
KaelinaLuvsLomaris
Well, Tsume and Toboe eventually get closer, do they not? It’s always inevitable.
Cliodna
Has there been any sort of comment from the artists on whether Feral’s younger appearance has something to do with le magic or just evolving art styles? ^^ His features seem consistently more softer after he fought with that cat-person.

KaelinaLuvsLomaris
The physics of his face! I like that. :D
VickyLynn
I love that he gets down to her level…. don’t think he’s done that before. Aw, Feral’s turning into a softy ;P
KaelinaLuvsLomaris
He’s always been a softy. It’s just that now he’s letting it show! XD

Okay, totally fan-girling about Feral. I seriously wish he was real.

Looks like Feral’s heart has warmed over, I wonder if the morning will freeze it back up.

I think deep down he wants to try to raise her. Must have had a little sibling who looked like her :u or something

It’s nice to see that he’s genuinely concerned for her, vaguely silly gestures aside, this adds a whole new depth to his character.

Is Meela going to tell Feral that she knows about his past? Is she going to call him Yuen? Is she? IS SHE?
Wisecrack
Omg thatd b amazing!!!!!

This is such a sespensful moment! Feral looks so fatherly! Is it just me?

It might just be me, but ferals answer to her question of ” I almost died didn’t I?” WASNT VERY CONFERTING!!!
