Edit: Shaded version uploaded and Leshmiir's hair has been fixed. Woo!

I kind of ran out of time and so this page didn't get shaded beyond panel 1. I'll reupload this when that gets done.

So this is my first new page with condensed text. Still working on old pages, but this is the first time I've done this with a page I'm working on. In the original draft of my script, Leshmiir's speech in panel 1 was much longer. It read:
“I’ll explain it to you in its simplest terms. Your father was under the impression that you were in Telvan when my soldiers attacked. It’s a misconception as your party was actually in Zalityu at the time. It had taken a great deal of planning and preparation to force you and your companions up there and I must say you cooperated with our plans surprisingly well. It would have been massively inconvenient if you’d stood your ground in Telvan. That kind of diplomatic incident I can well do without. I can deal with Emperor Falashtin of Zalityu much easier than I can with the bitch in Telvan. At any rate, it would have taken too long to get Empress Shinjaloye’s permission to bring the Tiger Warriors there. She’s notorious for not wanting foreign warriors into her country. Bodyguards are one thing, soldiers and Warriors are another matter entirely.”

Aren't you glad I simplified? I am.

Aldiara is supposed to be spitting in panel 4. This is what I was talking about on Twitter. Watch me fail at drawing someone spitting!

What I like: I love that Sakky's stock has such a wide range of poses. I don't know if panel 6 would have been possible without her.

What I don't like: I apparently can't drawn Leshmiir's hair from the side. It looks really wonky to me. He also seems to have aged between panel 1 and 3. Or maybe it's just me. And all of a sudden I know exactly what I did wrong. I'll fix that before I shade it. Go me!
