Hawke is magic! She has ESP!
...or she's met Wolfe in NY somewhere before and knows he's a sucker for tradition.
If I was Yote, I definitley would have not been happy about relaying such a message to such an angry lady.
I drew half of this page in a coffee shop that I loved in college, in the same spot I used to sit 5 years ago- a wobbly bar stool at a copper counter. I hadn't been there in years, having lived out of state, but I was up north in Fort Collins, so I got a chance to go and get the best chai in the west. I really didn't expect the shop to be there... it's a hole in the wall in an alley- completely invisible from the street, so only students "in the know" knew it existed. I probably wound up there twice a week minimum, but my Japanese study groups had me there every night sometimes.
I was happy to see it booming with business, but without the conformity that usually follows financial sucess. Almost nothing had changed. Better yet- the four ceiling tiles I had painted in college were still there! Talk about leaving pieces of yourself behind!
If you go to the Alley Cat http://www.alleycatcoffeehouse.com/about/ "About" page, you can see two of my ceiling panels. They're the long ones against the window- Mucha inspired!
Anyway- that's a lot of explaining for a little backstory that has nothing to do with the plot. =)
However, if you're ever in Fort Collins, Colorado, check out Alley Cat Cafe! And do order a chai!

It's tough being a messenger.

Mina Lunga: The "embryos" were my brother's idea on the ceiling tile. He was in from out of town, and we decided to paint a tile that matched the atmosphere of the cafe instead of just being there. So... coffee ... regeneration... embryos. Yeah! There happened to be a table under that tile that had a cut-out picture of Mucha's ivy lady on it, so we used the leaves in the tile, too. Anyway, that's a long story that you probably didn't want to hear, but yeah! The eye situation above is weird. I realized it after I drew it- the wrong eye- a very subtle, but it does make a difference. Only you would give me grief over it, tho. =) I'll work on the next page asap! Motivation! Abt_Nihl: Cool name, yo! Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you like it. Also, the chai is a must. Hope you get to try it someday!

Lovely tiles - I saw developing embryos! And you updated, so I updated, and now it's your turn again! From no-eye to lotsa-eye-pissed. . . I sense failed couples-counseling in the past.

I wish I were there right, now drinking a chai, but in the meantime, this page will do. Lovely work.
