I can forgive him for being naive, but when is he going to question Dirj’s “braclets”? They’re not exactly something you buy in a store. Not that he stole them either… I’m just say’n…
Rasque does have a pretty good guess about the chains already, though. I haven’t really gone into yet in comic, but while slavery is illegal in Furrendai, it’s not in all of the surrounding states. So he’s unfortunately aware that this is a thing even as sheltered as he is.
As a slave, you don’t get many options on how to look and smell good. But as a free person, there’s entire sets of rituals you have to do for the sake of interacting with others. Like bathing! Poor guy must smell like barn.
Haha! That is absolutely an aspect I tend to gloss over in my writing. We’re gonna jump-cut to evening in the next page so let’s say Rasque talked him into bathing. …and I TOTALLY meant that all along. 😀
Wow… I completely forgot about that… “something”.

Yeah, I’m not letting him off that easily! 😀

And death rolled over.
Oh yeah, yeesh. Kinda amazing they can even be in the room together!
