new comic, discuss :wink:


I'm awaiting the large rush of "awww poor Laura from the Laura faithful". Ok so it seems like she has generally made a mistake, a rash and indecisive one at that brought upon by pressure from, well almost everyone around her. Seems she is a rather fragile spirit, no?

Despite this, is it right for Keith to take her back? We all know that he is gonna want to, but has it been to long for them it ever truely have back what they lost? I'm inclined to think so.

Also the 6th panel makes me want to go and hug her... it's offical, I've warmed to Laura

So the rumor was only a rumor. Keith return to his mission for nothing. If he had been a little more patient he would have her back. I don't put all the blame on her. She quits just before their marriage instead of going talk to him about her doubt. He loses his faith in her and quits. This is where the blame fall on him.

Now, we have a Keith probably ashamed of what he did and a Natani that heard all that. We still don't know how he will react. Natani is a little disavantaged in this situation. She has some feeling for Keith but didn't really show them to him (Telling to him that she want him doesn't count when you are in heat.). She knows that she is what his heart's desire (He wishes that it's wasn't her fault and how he know she didn't really betray him.). The only edge she has is being an trained killer. She always could get rid of the competition. Once Laura dead, she can secure him as long he doesn't know that it's her that killed her love. Or at least, this is what she could think, she doesn't know about the killing order.

On ne peut pas être sur des réactions des personnages présentement.

S.P.P.

Natani kill Laura? I don't see it. If she really loves Keith, then she'd accept his decision, whatever it is. Unless she's just obsessed with him, or if her feelings are just beginning to develop.

Awww... :cry:

I am still undecided on the whole "if Keith show take Laura back or not", but I still think she needs at least a hug :( .

On another note, I love Laura's outfit! :D

Panel 7 looks like we could be heading for a real tear-jerker comic soon, depending on Keith's reaction/answear

I wonder if Natani can hear Laura or not, and what her reaction is as well

Poor Laura =<

She must've felt horrible too. I mean, she heard Keith calling for her but she remained hiding, and returned only to find that he'd left... that must've been horrible for her...

¬.¬

I still don't trust her. *crosses her arms* Just.. there's something fishy about all this. Something still just... doesn't sit right with me.

Yeah it looks like she needs a hug... but I just get this evil feeling off her.

Something tells me I'm about to have a déjà vu moment ._.

Well, I guess that settles all the "Oh, you don't know what happened!" stuff, or the seeeeeeecret knowledge Sage was oooooing and aaaahing about. This is exactly what we were told last comic, only with more words. No secret reversal, no shocking revelation.

Exactly what I expected to have happened ... happened. She ran away. She betrayed his trust. She was self-centered, thought only of herself, she panicked, and she ran away right before the wedding, without giving him a single indicator that she was coming back.

This changes nothing. And I'm shocked people want to blame Keith on this. What, he's betrayed, and he's supposed to just sit around and wait for the person who betrayed him to come back, like nothing happened?

If she had given one thought to Keith at all, she wouldn't have panicked and run away - she would have panicked, gone to Keith, said, "I need a few days to myself to get away from all these people ... I'll be back before the wedding," and THEN she would have run away.

Remember what we have from Keith's point of view. He sees most of the village going, "Run away from him, run away from him, run away from him, run away from him," then she runs away from him. If anything, she should have recognized that *more* than anyone else, because she was the one hearing more of it than even Keith was. An ounce of empathy was all that was needed.

I'd give her a hug.
I don't ever recall seeing her tail before...and I can't get over the fact that she isn't wearing black gloves lol.
It looks like Keith doesn't believe what she's saying.

Aww...poor, poor Laura. It was all too much for her frail heart to handle, so she ran away.

...well, she doesn't have my sympathy. >.<

If her village's disapproval was enough to make her question her feelings for Keith, then they were either not very strong in the first place, or she is despicably weak. Either way it was her fault, not Keith's, and she at least seems to have acknowledged that. I admire her admission and her determination to find her abandoned lover and apologize for her actions. However, that alone isn’t reason enough for Keith to drop six years’ worth of accumulated remorse, confusion, and anger and take her back.

For Laura to have any hope of redemption in my eyes, she'll have to be content with apologizing. Hopefully, her confession will help clear up and close a rather unhappy chapter in both of their lives, and they can go their respective ways and move on.

If she truly is of compassionate character, she'll realize that if she pursues a relationship with Keith now, she'll inevitably be subjecting him to more heartache some four years in the future. She’s already made his last six years miserable; hopefully she'll leave it at that.

I don't think its a trick, and I certainly don't blame her for what she did. I mean it is just a simple knee jerk reaction when things like this are happening you don't think "what is the most considerate way I can go about this" you see a solution and go for it. That being said it is still up to Keith to take her back or not, getting dumped basically isn't something anyone would get over easily.

SHE could use a hug though and hopefully keith understands, not much more we can ask for.

I dunno, If I were Keith, I'd still find this a tad unforgivable... specially the part where She heard him calling for here and yet she still stayed hidden... The dark stories of love... What do people really think?

I don't think it's a trick.

I do blame her for what she did, but I also have sympathy for her. I'd give her a hug, I'd talk with her, I'd forgive her.

Wouldn't trust her.

I don't think it's a trick, I don't think she's 'up to something', I don't think it's part of some scheme, I believe she's being entirely honest. But that's not the same as trusting her.

From her POV Keith abandoned her - she trusted that if Keith really loved her he wouldnt abandon her so quickly. What she didn't know what that people would spread rumors that she was with another man (Thus making Keith feel betrayed) - But was she with another man? (Wrestle Mania Announcer Voice) Find out next time-... ON DRAGON BALL Z!!!!!!!

I feel bad for Laura here, but as others have pointed out; what does it say when you know the truth, and you let lies mold your decisions? We know that Laura isn't the most assertive person, and it took a lot of personal strength for her to come and apologize, especially because this all makes her look absolutely craven. I don't know how the couple could have dealt with the entire village living in fear of her husband, but it's embarrassing that she didn't even try (at least to explain). Yes, she was young, but running away and hiding?

If there's an "emotional comfort clause" in the "no touching" law, then Keith really ought to hug her, wipe her tears, and tell her that she should have come to him; that they'd been able to face these problems together (and along the way, drive Natani insane). But as Ana points out, a renewed relationship between the two will only cause further pain. Now that we know the truth, I stand by my comment that Keith would forever be haunted by this -- Laura ran from him and hid from him once before; what would stop her from doing so again? The explanation doesn't really help Keith's self esteem either, now he's going to think of himself as some kind of monster, frightening people.

Oh, Laura, we always think we have enough time. But the nature of life is that there is never as much time as we believe. I still have a lot of trouble putting much blame on Keith. What else could he do? Stay among a people who whisper whenever he's around, waiting indefinitely for a woman who just disappeared without a trace? He is again, absolutely alone, totally alienated. I still can't blame him for cutting ties and leaving. I don't even think that Laura sees Keith as abandoning her. She doesn't make any remarks that make it seem like she thinks she was wronged. Her final words here are the only ones that mention Keith leaving, and while they're certainly the most tearful, I think her voice is pained with regret, not betrayal. She wishes now that she had time, but she blames herself for Keith leaving, not him.

And in other news, Laura's tail is extremely pretty. Also, her tears are very nicely done.
