Still not sure you managed to convince her…but at least you’re getting away from here.
This is the final page of the chapter, so there will be a cover image next week to give us a look into what’s ahead.
Thanks for reading! See you then!
Also, the Drunk Duck site has finally been fixed! We’re still about 8 pages behind there, but it’s back online and I’ll be using it as a mirror site from now on, so if you don’t see an update on time here, check out DD to see if it’s been posted! The new URL is here!
Nareth, you so smart. :3 I love how confused she is. XD
Haha, poor Tai, she’s had a long night.
It’s actually a pretty big pet peeve of mine, though, when there’s a setup like this – character A has every reason to distrust character B. We the audience know B is trustworthy, but A does not. Yet B acts hurt and betrayed because A doesn’t trust them and the writing makes it clear we’re supposed to side with B. That A should just trust B no matter what, and they’re a big meanie if they don’t. I decided to have Nareth do what I always wished characters would do in that situation – accept it and set to work earning that trust back. Proving yourself when someone distrusts you will be a better way to convince someone than just saying “trust me” after all.
Haha, sorry for the paragraph, I apparently have a lot of feelings about this. 😀
I think they are perfectly legitimate feelings and I like how you made the effort to offer a more realistic alternative! =D It is frustrating when stories forget themselves like that and expect the characters to know a little too much.
