I wonder how this one's gonna turn out...

The expression on Regina's shirt pretty much seems to sum this one up. Oh crud...

What's the going speculation on their relationship?

Well, upcoming moment of undoubted flailing and panic and maybe weapons and drama aside, it's nice to see that Kria can concede defeat, even if she doesn't like it. And that Dan can handle that particular situation admirable when it comes down to dialogue.

Completely pointless post: Seeing as everyone's covered my initial reactions to the comic, I am honestly lost for words. I suppose that's how Dan and Regina feel.

Pass some popcorn, please. Even if this turns out to be a flashback episode I would be entertained.

Wouldn't it be funny if the shirt were like a mood ring?  Meaning it would betray her emotions regardless of what her own face looked like?



Well, I thought it might be funny....

Ahem. Maybe that isn't such a good idea...

Dan can make it down the hallway without trouble. Getting through the doorway, however. . .

Exactly the same.

Wow, Dan actually shows some levelheadedness in the first panel- he almost sound respectable! Me likes! As for that pink harpy- I guess it was inevitable- now she is officially here to stay!

Dan is a 'cubi, so he'd know what she was feeling anyway, especially if he hasn't learned how to fully filter emotions yet.

Anyway, I bet Amber steam rolls us and they just exchange pleasentries and move on as though nothing happened.

Hey, Jyrras did call him "possibly one of the most intelligent beings alive." Granted, Dan did turn out to be a 'Cubi, but the point still stands. A nice round of obfusticating stupidity on Dan's part would give him an edge over his opponents when they underestimate him. Of course, that's when you have to ask where the line between smart and stupid is drawn, since some of his "duh" moments do feel natural... it's too early to talk about stuff like this. I'm going to bed.

I predict delayed reaction on both their parts, they definitely pass and take at least a few more steps before reacting.

Dan, I think in this case, your naïvety is forgivable.

Wow, Dan can get in trouble practically without doing anything at all. He must have a special adventuring skill for that. "Attract Troubles" it's called. :B

Interestingly, Dan's wings haven't fluffed out in the last panel.

What's really going to be weird is if Regina utters something about the 'Cubi representative.  That is really going to confuse Dan.

Mine is that they last parted under hostile circumstances.  According to her cast page, Regina nearly killed Wildy.  I'm speculating that Regina is laying low  to avoid the presumed wrath of Wildy's friend, Daniel Ti'Fona, slayer of Dark Pegasus.  Whom she now has just (almost litterally) run into.

There is a lot of humor in this comic, much of it at Dan's expense.  On the other hand, Dan's killled DP at least twice, so he has to be a competent adventurer.

I'm calling that Regina was Dan's first girlfriend. The blood on the hands thing was a flashback to their dramatic breakup.

Hmmm, Dan = Mal from Firefly? Heck, even Mals first and last name mean 'Bad Luck'. :)

Hmm.  I wonder how the past went with those two anyway.  I mean if I were to just look at the bits of info I have (being that Regina was in Dans memory and imploring him to be with her, Regina has nearly killed Wildy and has been noted for it) and the look of discomfort/recognition (it's hard to tell with her eyes) I would almost say that she was trying to impress Dan with a display of her power which just happened to be exacted on Wildy.  Why she would want to impress him, I have no idea but that would be my rough guess.  I suppose it could be a motivation similar to Kria in that she wants what she can't likely have.

I can't wait to find out what it actually was though as my idea leaves a lot to be desired in it's current state.

Really?  I thought his name meant "Cpt. Tightpants".... looking at the shading on Dan's pants in this one I suppose the comparrison still fits.

AHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

I called it! Okay, so Dan didn't storm out and run headfirst into Regina like I thought, but he did go to leave just as Regina was bringing the sandwiches.

Anyway, yeah, this should be good. Soooo many different ways this could end.  :mwaha

As I recall that tends to lead to a spiteful god Amber who goes out of their way to make sure the offending party turns out wrong most of the time after.

Darnit, two panels of focusing on Dan's mug when I wanna see Kria's face, then when Dan's expression is important, his back is to the camera. Blargh. Stupid dramatic angles.

Personally, I just think Regina's expression is a slight shock to the door she was about to knock on suddenly opening before she knocked. That surprises me more often than not. This panel is probably a couple of moments before Regina has remember who Dan is (if she remembers him at all). I'm quite confident that Dan is about to pull a weapon on her. From hammerspace or his pants, I am not certain. I'm going for pants. Ooooh, or is he only able to pull a BFS out of a dress/robe?

But hey, at least Foxy's expression sums up the situation nicely.
After a long time, some things change. Some things don't. And I still love Regina!
