I was unable to squeeze in a reaction at the end of this page, so it ends on more of a punchline. Tristan's line in panel one was sort of … ad lib? I know that's impossible, but Tristan goes "off script" a lot. I have a script all written out and then my hand just writes down whatever pops into my head as "natural" at the moment. Anyway, it ended up accidentally giving more dimension to Violet (who has already ended up playing a bigger part in the story than originally intended).

ghostrunner: You lost a habit on a bet? Lol.

Masq: Mean words can be terms of endearment in some friendships. Kaida has known Hyacinth for a while, and they have a playful relationship. It's how Kaida is with her friends. She doesn't mean any malice. (Like how she calls Tristan an idiot.)

Tantz: Fortune tellers thrive on the vague. (It's still good advice for Kaida since she pushes away helpful people.)

Peipei: She is a little scary, but curiosity could get the best of some people. ~_^

amanda: Kaida has taken up the hobby of teasing and embarrassing her brother. It's a fun hobby. I dabble in it myself. XD I let my roommate read Tarot cards for me from time to time. Unless you "believe," there is really nothing but harmless fun in any of it.

worstcase: Thanks. Each page probably takes 5 or 6 hours total, but I don't do it all in one sitting. I have a bunch of pages drawn and scanned already, so I just edit those with a graphics program (which takes two or three hours).

LanceDanger: Seiko doesn't even want to discuss that subject. XD (Though it has distracted her from concerning herself over said "suspicious monk.")
