This is a page, I feel, absolute win!!

Back when this story started, way over a year ago, the Out-of-character sceptic in me stopped the in-character Anna believe Tarquin genuinely cared about her, but more the fact that she would (at least try) to kill whoever he wanted killed or find whatever he wanted found. In truth, I was wondering what facet of this (and I will always defend her in person, but it is a bit true) effectively emo 15 year old who more often than not messed up her missions, got people killed/damned etc…but I think this expression shows which part of her it was.

He always apologised for dragging her once innocent self into so much bloodshed, but it did result in her saving his life, in this instance from the Vampresses over-running the Keep (that was a year ago!) So he gave her presents when she said she'd stay at the Keep-a lot of presents! If you look you'll see the gown from the Viscountess picture hanging at the front of the rail!http://Bowdy.deviantart.com/art/Viscountess-69740683

The second panel is just after the accident. I'm more impressed with the shadow from the window than anything else! Thing is now I'm going to have to keep up this new attention to detail!
