Does the guard that we see in the first panel is this girl. Did she was enough attracted by Keith to follow them from a reasonnable distance? Also blue eyes seem awfully rare among the basitins. Anyway, it's an another case of domestic abuse, Keith's father was indeed a terrible person.

C'est une bonne chose qu'il soit mort.

S.P.P.

Ouch, painful memories. =/

Wow, this hit me as a very beautiful comic, the color scheme is so well coordinated with the mood...

I like how the mirror in the comic was used to enhance the feeling that Keith is very alone. (grammar correct?)

I am sure the other figure in the mirror is Keith's mother. You can see where she was stabbed because of the blood on the wall, and she slid down to her current position (slumped against the wall sitting up).

Anyhow, it's a shame that Keith was even a minor part in his parents deaths, that rules out the option of proving him completely innocent and everyone happily accepting him back into their community in order to have a huge kickin' par-tay...

It looks as if the female soldier that is so interested in Keith has followed them, she could have heard this conversation and could become a vital part in saving Keith's reputation or maybe even his life.

Keith could also cause another "poor Keith" moment if some affection is exchanged between Keith and Natani... although I think this is unlikely.

Natani may leave Keith be and the female soldier may comfort Keith along with revealing some vital piece of new plot information

Most likely however, pies will fall from the sky and the entire world will be enslaved by the evil cherry pie lord and his apple pie minions. All beings will be forced to work raising microwavable pot pies... what a horrible existence.

And who's the other little guy in the mirror with Keith?

The other person in the mirror down on the ground looks like it could be his mother if you look near the chest area. Plus the dad is fallen in the front from the damage of the spear. Which reminds me has it been stated that Keith is an only child? Because so far its been only implied.

This is sad.

And to be banished so soon. How can they believe he did this?

He's been holding back his feelings for so long. This is one very traumatised Basitin. I think he loved his Father. That expression, so sad as he looks at Father. And now so much bottled up anger.

(Tom, 'allowed', not 'aloud' in the last frame)

Ah, well that makes sense, figured that's how it went ever since the previous strip. Sucks for Keith, a shame he had to go through such a troubling experience. And that guard in the background does appear to be the female guard from before Catherine, you're not alone in that thought. Anyways as always I look forward to seeing where this goes next.

This comic got me thinking about the males and females living seperately as mentioned in http://twokinds.comicgenesis.com/d/20070305.html Things like is this a relatively new arrangement(maybe stemming from this incident? though I doubt it) or did his father just come into the house where Keith and her mother lived? (also sorry if this perspective of the living arrangements have been already talked about)

It looks like Basitin society may be matriarchal, by the fact that it was the mother who loved the father while the father hated her.

To the originator of this thread (LCPL Hastings) - You might want to run a quick edit. This strip is the April 30 strip, not the May 1 strip.

Woooo... I wish I could say I was surprised, but this was exactly what I expected to find out. Poor Keith...

And now Natani finds that Keith has yet one more thing in common with her. A very large and tragic pain over losing a parent.

And yes, like everyone else, I think that's the cute Basitin girl from the fight who was rightfully getting gooey over Keith's fighting.

What about his sister? I remember that in the comic, Keith had a memory of his sister. I might be wrong, and I dont have time to check. Mind one of check for that memory flashback thing?

His sister? I must have missed that but if he does have a sister could it be the cute basitin girl who followed them? She has yellow eyes, just like Keith and his father.
