So, now we get one thing straight about Micah: he's not a good guy.
He's not really a bad guy either, he's pretty neutral, but he's also very much an "ends justify the means" sort of character who doesn't really follow any higher moral code or ideals. If you threaten someone who's important to him, then he makes sure you can't follow through on that threat, no matter what it takes. Katyn's opinion of him matters far less than her safety.
You may notice something interesting in what he said here too…or perhaps not (I've been going six years at this point! I can't really expect that anyone will remember it all…besides, even I can't remember if what I'm referring to was actually stated anywhere ^_^;)
But this whole attitude was hinted at the last time the Order showed up (page 9-10 to be specific) he's not joking when he says that the only reason he doesn't kill them is because it's not his house, he honestly means it.
It's part of why I love Micah. He's a bastard, but he's genuine. He is what he is and makes no apologies for it. I get kind of tired of tried and true heroes adhering to someone else's code. Micah embraces his flaws. Trey doesn't quite know what to make of it, because (I will tell you right now) he's the polar opposite…they don't get along much…

Thanks for all the comments on the last page! That last panel still makes me cringe, but you guys really made me feel a lot better about it! I wanted to reply to you all, but I never got around to it. Still, you can never hear it enough in my book - thanks!
I'm MUCH happier with the art on this page. Micah = fun to draw. XD
Lost a page in my buffer (I expected to, there's been too much happening lately, I had just wished I wouldn't ^_^;)…I'll try to catch it up this week, but I'm not sure if I can. We shall have to see. *nods sagely*

Whoa! Long comments! Thanks for reading! See you all next week!
