Tense...

It's been a power of years since we've seen Orlina. She's still Leysa's mom and Mikaila's grandma, and Uncle Guiscard here is her eldest son.

Times have not been great for her. She was pretty broken up by Duane dying and Mikaila nearly dying. She and Lemuel don't get along very well (this is kind of funny because she always secretly wished Leysa had married him instead, monkey paw curls). And last year her husband died, making Guiscard the head of the family. That never affected the Adeliers much with Lemuel around, but with Lem MIA, it's suddenly become very relevant to Mikaila's life.

Anyway, Mikaila's not too keen to go home...

Finally gonna see present day Leysa I guess, eh? I've been wondering about seeing that update for a long time.

Ashley

Not this chapter, she's at home.

Cassie

LEM MENTION!!!! A shame he has passed from this mortal plane.........my heart shatters...................... Also, Mikaila, my babygirl. I forgot about your meeting with Tree. The number of bad decisions you are racking up in such a small amount of time.

Jeremy Ball

We knew he was no good the second we saw the giant shnose. I think so far the only character with a big hooter who wasn't a supervillain is Brawny Leg. (don't look at my nose, I'm a good boy honest, my grandma said so)

Flyfly

Curious to learn more about Irina. Also it took me a moment to process Ssael statue lmao.

Noto

Oh, poor Orlina. She seems really heartbroken... But see! All Miki had to do was stop casting out loud. No grunting no problem!! That said, I cant help but think maybe this was the better outcome. I dont know that she wouldn't have been discovered somehow, and if Rousseau found his pet had been *defeated* by a pissmop girl, I cant imagine it would have gone well for her at all. Is that right?

Ashley

Like, you imagine Rousseau might have worked terrible vengeance upon her if he'd lost? Mm, perhaps. He did tell his Captain to find Lilleord (who is really Mikaila) so even with his win, he's not going to let the Lions' duelist go :)

Ashley

Hmm, I will have to work on this nose issue... Ruffles has a big nose and she's nice, but we can do moer!

Ladile

I can't remember if it's been mentioned anywhere but with marriage brands being a thing, are they able to be reattuned in the event one spouse dies and the remaining one remarries? If so, it might explain why this lady is acting like Lem's just off on a lark somewhere instead of presumably/definitely being KIA.

Rifter

Oh yeah I figured not in this chapter. But this seemed to confirm we're gonna at some point 😩

Alight

I imagine home is where things will turn worse.

Jeremy Ball

I get it though. Baddies are like a license for exaggerated features and expressions. (Also, so far there is no proof that Ruffles isn't the Final Boss...)

Kathleen Smith

Yikes, I‘m wincing in anticipation of the smackdown about to be delivered. If Mikaila seriously thinks she will be allowed to go anywhere unsupervised in the near future, she needs to wake up. The brothers Adelier really have indulged her outrageously, haven’t they? If she thinks that musing aloud about how she almost got away with it and what mistakes to avoid the next time IN FRONT OF ANGRY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PUNISH HER will not make the situation much, much worse, both for her and friends like Will, she needs to work on her situational awareness… Is she in shock and oblivious? Is she this spoiled/self-absorbed? And does she not sense any danger in Argenti Sr. (who indulged Lemuel in his teaching Mikaila) suddenly taking an interest in this useful and unexpectedly effective weapon that now everyone knows about so publicly…?

Ashley

A new brand could be applied but Lemuel and Leysa chose not to do that.

Ashley

She is obsessive with pymary and with this idea that she must defend Durlyne in order to please Ssael and save Lemuel. Nothing else feels as immediate or as important. Is it stupid of her? YES! But this is who she is, what she's grown into, to her own detriment.

Ladile

Ah, I wasn't sure if a rebrand was compulsory or not. Good to know that it isn't! I'm not surprised that they didn't want them.

PotentPinion

And God has her hat now on top of everything else

Renee

Mickie came by her single-minded focus honestly. Glad my girl is still feeling feisty, but there’s a time and place

Capsandnumbers

In terms of father figures, Guiscard's outvoted by Spellmaster and Papa acting as a bloc

McCord Hall

Same, I thought there was Some Guy in the background and assumed it was part of some sort of entourage

Geoff

I wonder when we'll see that stallion again 🥲

corvicore

could give Rebecca or one of Miki's friends a big ole sniffer :^)

Malik M.L. Williams

Okay, now I’m confused again. About Ms. Irina. Who is she, like, the self-appointed Queen of Ghers 34? Or the actual one? I thought she was some familial relation, but no?

Ashley

She's an old busybody that lives in their ghers. "Self-appointed Queen of Ghers 34" is a perfect title for her.
