A proper gentleman wright never casts without wearing his gloves. Amidst her impropriety, Mikaila endeavours to be proper in the ways she feels matter~

Oho, a vliegeng spell cosmetic, like spellmaster’s lions?

corvicore

casting with her gloved hand, but bare is the hand being grabbed by Guiscard 😢 our poor girl is stuck between two worlds

Ashley

Mikaila loves vliegeng :) She feels safe and comfortable and understood around them.

Rifter

Tactical retreat! -Guiscard, probably.

Oh yeah, I thought that she'd have a go at threatening Bunkle here. People gotta remember that a wright can turn your skin inside out if they dont like the look of you. Even worse for you if that wright is also an unruly teenager who's sick of your bullshit

JarJar

I honestly don't know how anyone gets Mikaila to do ANYTHING. She can phase through walls, she can mute people and shoot energy out of her hands. How do you meaningfully ground or punish a teenager like that.

Ashley

She was a well-behaved sweetheart when Lemuel was home. Did all her chores and brushed her teeth twice a day. But Lemuel let her be herself. She just doesn't have it in her to truckle to Guiscard's commands. She'd apparently rather die. Which is a very teenagery way to act.

By playing 80s cock rock in the car and singing along.

I for one respect her nerve. She's digging that hole deeper, but sometimes it's a hole that really needs digging.

Mikaila fatiuge; just a friendly reminder to those who need it, who killed Uaid?

Flyfly

Oh, Miki. I worry you are not the kind of YA protagonist you think you are.

Renee

Can see why Alderode doesn’t like its women learning pyramy

Rebecca

It's okay, he had it coming.

Rainwalker

You wouldn’t believe the degree to which this doesn’t dampen my enthusiasm for her in the slightest XD but it takes all kinds~

Josh

That's some impressively fucked-up patriarchal honor culture bullshit if he'd really be expected to murder a teenage girl for fighting back in public. First thought was: "I bet that's what the Coppers would expect but for most (of the vanishingly small number for whom this actually happenes) it'd be more like [affronted gasp] -> 'You're lucky I'm not summarily executing you like I'm sposedta, young lady!' -> additional public battery of she who dared to raise a hand back." But Alderode is the kind of place where priests slow-roast heretics in cages in public for a few days, so I would not be surprised if that really is a plausible outcome. Mikaila having the sheer personal power to forestall, circumvent or stalemate this kind of thing is narratively interesting... and emotionally nerve-wracking. I feel for you, terrifying wizard-warrior! If you snap and start melting Aldishmen with your mind, they could not have had it coming any more.

Cherenkov

She didn’t know Uaid the way we did. It was just a vehicle belonging to traitors, rebels, and criminals, for which a *very* substantial bounty was on offer…

Ladile

I appreciate the nerve but I can't get over how sad Miki looks in that close-up. How sad and fucked up to have to threaten a member of your own family like this in the first place, right?

Matthew Hawley

Will isn't in a position to "speak for her" here? Say anything at all?

Lulululu

If you hate Mikaila, try to look on the bright side here: you got to watch Uaid's killer get publicly humiliated, socked in the face, and have an absolutely horrible time talking to her family.

Malik M.L. Williams

Too bad that unruly teenager is likely to pay in other ways later 😬

Malik M.L. Williams

Just reflecting on how easily Mikaila double threatened Guiscard here. Almost reluctantly playing out the scene where she kicks his ass, then “dad” comes home to kill him outright. She’s sad and tired right now, but she’s not NOT herself. Someone needed a reminder

Anna S

The fact she didn't get to finish "backside" doesn't bode well for the chances of the threat working. Or they are about to be interrupted, which would be a godsend. That "->" is giving me anxiety.

Josh

I think officially Will is supposed to affronted that she stuck her nose into manful bidness, and I can't imagine this fucked-up patriarchal culture would take kindly to anyone trying to interfere with the ancient art of familial violence - pretty sure Uncle Dickhead would go all "how dare thee?!" Maybe the sheer rarity of what Mikaila is introduces some uncertainty, and Will might speak to that, how she is the only one who could have almost pulled this off for Ssaelit honor... but I don't think Will is one who'd attempt to untangle those cords.

Ashley

Nope. Will isn't family. This is none of his business.

Rob N

Actually she's trapped (or confined, hence the chapter title) in one world while longing to be in the other...

Khyrberos

I was already sold, you don't need to sweeten the pot ; ) (j/k Uaid was wonderful & I'm sad he's dead)

Khyrberos

woof. rough stuff
