I tried to keep this scene pretty short and sweet - I've noticed a lot of people don't have much patience for poor Jivi :)
Keeping it real though, this is the kind of stuff I love the best. Little emotional breakthroughs, little conversations between kids trying to figure things out. I know some comic makers trudge through conversations in order to get to the fightin' - the "good stuff." But I trudge through action scenes and world-building in order to get to the conversations :)
Anyway, next scene's with Duane and it's fairly violent and disturbing. His head is on wrong after his night with Ilganyag and his self-indulgent story-telling. Unlike Sette, he's keen to get on with The Plot, even if he has to shed some blood.
