And it seems Alexsi trusts Pyroduck again after his story.

Edit:And with how things went well with Pyroduck telling the truth, I am pretty sure we will focus back on Dan soon and he will be severely beaten

What? You expecting comedic Irony?

Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing that joke again... It's kinda funny...

I hope their story ends better than the play the quote is from.

Hmm... "head over heals for you"... isn't that where your head should be anyway, over your heels, not under?

Turnsky · January 03, 2010, 09:30:42 AM

one can only imagine the meeting of the kids' parents..

awwwwwkwaaaaard.

IF their relationship ever lead to matrimony, I would think a simple JOP affair would have to suffice, for a traditional wedding would most likely have a strange resemblance to WW III. Would they ever be able to go "home" for the holidays? At least Fa'Lina would be an ally.

Grey Wolf · January 03, 2010, 09:52:50 AM

If the blue feather Pyroduck has is indeed Destania's, it may mean they've met before. Also, Destania seems to respect Fa'lina, so killing her son would be a no-no.
That said, Destania will still most likely have conniptions about the dating thing.
God help Pyro if he ever get's Alexi pregnant, married or no. Fa'lina may be okay with having a dragonic grand-kid, but Destania?

Tapewolf · January 03, 2010, 10:03:25 AM

I wonder if Mab see Jyrras as the one who might break the cycle?

Chakat Blackspots · January 03, 2010, 11:24:35 AM

I wonder how Alexi's mom would take having a Dragon Cubi as a son in law? Also, I'm glad that Alexi likes him again.

I hadn't considered that. For a being, he's very powerful, just not in the traditional sense.
But is his skill in building weaponry going to help all that much? To continue with today's Romeo and Juliet theme, "What, [sword] drawn, and talk of peace!"

Instead of depressing ourselves with Shakespeare (where somebody once described a comedy as being where some of the major characters are alive at the end), let's think Gilbert and Sullivan, where the plays generally have happy endings involving a plot twist.

Or if dealing with Shakespeare, let's look at As You Like It and A Midsummer's Night's Dream

Anker Steadfast · January 03, 2010, 01:52:36 PM

Lets not forget Deathbringer !!

And Jyrras also has a sentient robot, whom we have seen nothing from since it's conception.

Jasonrevall · January 03, 2010, 02:26:15 PM

I retract my previous statements. I guess the first date is a good time to tell the truth. Also I like Alexi's expression in the last panel.

Not that much of a problem, really. Pyroduck's real father doesn't acknowledge paternity, so he won't be there. Nothing is known of the mother. Either pride or loyalty to her spouse probably will keep her away. If love for her son take precedence, then she will be grateful to Fa'Lina. Odds are Fa'Lina will be Pyroduck's parent. Still will be interesting, though, when Destania finds out Fa'Lina raised a dragon and is in favor of Pyroduck dating Alexsi.

With regards,
Ted

Here we all are speculating about how Destania will take it but no one is remembering a certain gigant dream Cubi called Cyra. From what we know she's Destanias mother, so how would she take having a dragon grand son in law, being a tri-wing leader of a rather infamous clan whit an apparently warm attitude, how would she take it?

Alexsi isn't related to Cyra. The relationship between Cyra and Pyroduck would be kind of like that between me and some of the people I go to visit at Christmas. Step-grandson-in-law or something bizarre like that.

Amber Williams · January 03, 2010, 06:31:52 PM

Pyroduck's biological mother is pretty dang dead. So I doubt there will be much an issue coming from her.

She's step-mom, not real mom. Not that that changes how she feels about Alexsi, mind, but even so...

Anker Steadfast · January 03, 2010, 09:48:22 PM

I don't think the comic has ever mentioned the status of Alexi's mother.
Just that she had a different mother than Dan.

Amber, would you shed some light on this ?

Please ?

With muffins on top ?

Amber Williams · January 03, 2010, 09:49:21 PM

Alexsi's mother: Also pretty dang dead.

Anker Steadfast · January 03, 2010, 09:50:52 PM

Aw .. no name or species or anything ?
Poor Alexis, daughter of ghost with no features.

bradypodidae · January 03, 2010, 09:53:37 PM

Alexsi's Mom was an Amazon, I believe.

Anker Steadfast · January 03, 2010, 10:03:48 PM

~~ooooo, good one ... Dan would be *so* envious!~~

I have to learn how to read the cast page better.

OH !

And muffin for Amber for the quick reply!
Good webartist.

Look at Alexsi's cast page under quirks and fun facts. I have placed the relevant quote below.

"Alexsi's real mother was named Quintinga and was an amazon."

Anker Steadfast · January 03, 2010, 10:10:49 PM

Yeah .. I just noticed a moment ago ....

So emberassing.

inuhanyo · January 03, 2010, 11:02:31 PM

Amazon - female warrior

Of the handful we've seen, one is a Being (Skirmish), one a Dragon, one a Mythos, and one an Undead.

For all we can tell, Alexsi's mom was an Amazon Succubus, and the 'cubi traits didn't take.

Which WAG I've posted before, if only because it would explain why Alexsi and Dan have a stronger family resemblance that you'd expect between half-siblings. Shrug.
