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...
"Two houses, alike in dignity ..."
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?
one can only imagine the meeting of the kids' parents..
awwwwwkwaaaaard. :U

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

That's what I was thinking. @_@
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
Lets not forget Deathbringer !!
And Jyrras also has a sentient robot, whom we have seen nothing from since it's conception.
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.
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...
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 ?
:grin
Alexsi's mother: Also pretty dang dead.
Aw .. no name or species or anything ?
Poor Alexis, daughter of ghost with no features. :(
Alexsi's Mom was an Amazon, I believe.
ooooo, good one ... Dan would be *so* envious! :D
I have to learn how to read the cast page better. :banghead
OH !
And muffin for Amber for the quick reply!
Good webartist. :D

Look at Alexsi's cast page under quirks and fun facts (http://www.missmab.com/Cast/alexsi.php). I have placed the relevant quote below.
"Alexsi's real mother was named Quintinga and was an amazon."
Yeah .. I just noticed a moment ago ....
So emberassing.
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.
And shortly we will be swapped back to see how Dan is doing.
He might just get chased out the front door with a blue flame after him! >:3
Either that or the inn with a customer talking to Pip at the bar.
Or she might be understanding. Depends on how well he phrases the explanation, since he didn't actually end up using her to spy on Alexi.
Also, I'm afraid I have to burn your signature now, Gamma. (gets out a flamethrower)

I don't really know how big a deal a bust-up between Dan and Matilda would be. Ultimately, she is the one who has been pushing for this and to be honest, Dan doesn't seem quite mature enough to handle it properly. In other words, I think she has more of an emotional stake in this than Dan does. He'd lose her as a friend, she'd lose what she might see as a potential mate.
There again, it might not happen. For one, she's over 200 and very patient - patient enough to say that she'd wait until Dan was ready. Hence, she might accept that this is simply a case of 'teething trouble' for Dan (or some misguided attempt to act more like he thinks a 'Cubi should).
Or even more bizarrely, she might have seen enough plays where someone has done what Dan did to think it was funny (see her cast page).

well we know of one mother that already approves... atleast if Falina's cry of GRANBABIES!!! is to be bekived
Indeed, Fa'Lina is quite keen on some children. :)
Well, she has a whole acedemy full of them, you'd think she had enough adopted kids already. :D

For all intents and purposes, Destania
is Alexsi's mom. That is how all the involved parties feel about it, including Dan. I imagine Edward is relived, that no one else in his family regards Alexsi as anything less that a full-blooded relation.

And I would not be surprised if some of those had some grandchildren as well. :)
On a sidenote, Oolong is so different, that I'm starting to wonder if she can have children at all ?

Cubi being shapeshifters and all, it's kind of hard to judge how "different" one of them is from the others based purely on looks. So, about the only thing we may be able to conclude from Oolong's "creepy librarian" form is that she's be pretty big (I don't remember right now whether it's ever been mentioned how well cubi can change
mass, if at all)...but then, if her appearance in her grandson's dreams is any indicator, so is Cyra.

Oolong, bless her cotton socks, is not a Cubi. She's a member of a race with extreme sexual dimorphism, part of the Mythos, and the males are the ones that move. She gets to stand still, and her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. So to speak.
Which is probably why she enjoys stealing Abel's shirt - she's flirting with him, by her species' standards. That's a guess, mind, but...

The flirting, or all of it? ;)
Because to me at least Oolong does in fact look rather like a cubi (yes, I know, I'm the one who just argued about looks, but still :P) -- the extra 'heads' even look quite a bit like what we've seen others sprout from their wings. So if there
is anything in canon or some Word of Amber stating she's not, I'd appreciate a reference.

The rest has been explained before, but I can't be arsed to go find it. The search function is your friend, btw.
Oolong looking Cubi-like isn't a coincidence. The decoy part up top generally adapts to look as similar to the races it is surrounded by. Had Oolong planted herself in a phoenix temple, odds are the top-part would look avian.
As I mentioned before, Oolong herself is massive. The part everyone sees is more akin to the glowy light on a angler fish. It's more a decoy to help interraction...or at least it tries.

As to the search function...I'll be honest, I didn't even think about that. I'm still pretty new to this forum, and the search functions on quite a few
others I've encountered were...somewhat below par, so I never actually got into the habit of using them. I'll try to remember to give it a shot next time, though.

Ideally she should be going to bed and recovering :B
My congratulations to Pyroduck for ordering the catnip salad. I think Alexi moved closer only because it's on his breath! :mowwink
Oh, I like this one.
It makes me feel like I'd like to know more about the hatred between 'cubi and dragons, but this is good. Bonus points for the caption.
...what manner of light fixture is that?
It appears to be a pole lamp. With a surprisingly spiky bowl.
The reason why I'm wondering if she can have children, is because of the "no having children in the academy" rule that Fa'Lina has imposed.
I mean, Oolong would probably have known of that rule before she became the library, so why settle there if she can't have children, it seems overly hard. Unless offcourse she has a way around it ? Heck, for all we know, it's the males that carry the offspring, in order to spread them around, otherwise all of oolongs children would be where she is ... right ?
Or have I missed something about Oolong ?
And what's her obsession with Abel's shirts ?
