PEN PALS PEN PALS PEN PALS

“we would never keep you from traveling” ouuuuOUUUGHHGHGH

Unicorngirl 3008

Verengt’s attitude towards traveling and staying afoot is such a breath of fresh air compared to how worried Talita was about leaving and how the company treats those who leave on short notice. Nomads code!!

Alight

HUZZAH! That went perfectly, as best as it could. Also, Verengt’s grimace there looks like a cheeky smirk and I love the implications of all the little interspecies miscommunications there. They must have had so many strange interactions before now. Also also, YAY! They’re actually swapping info!!

Mary Sperry

I love Verengt, wow. I'm so glad Talita had this opportunity to end things on good terms, and stay in touch.

Marine Verdancy

I thought they might be chill with it, what with being nomads and all. And Talita going above and beyond by making sure they can settle into the job okay even after she quits!

Scout

> “Nomads have strong feelings about the right to travel on short notice” woah, a cultural aspect I never would have remembered/connected, but makes complete sense. Also, “a shame!” makes me sooo 🥺

Michelle G

That went a lot better than I thought!

Tigme

I'm glad to see even after how the last conversation ended that Verengt doesn't seem to hold it against her. Maybe she learned why Talita gave that face later on?

Skeletal Cat Creations

imagining Mel having to deal with Verengt's group deciding they're leaving with very short warning >:) Verengt: "I thought you've worked with Centuars before?"

Shadow-mockingbird

"But we would never keep you from traveling" is so sweet. Aaaaaaa. I heart cultural values and kind-hearted applications of them

Rose Shneider

this page made me feel very emotional… i don’t know how it took me this long to realize that, whether consciously or not, Talita is engaging with an enormous aspect of centaur culture by journeying in the Runaway. it feels very poetic; she finally gets to do this on her own terms with her loved ones 🩷

Montydragon

Verengt you are perfect. I hope she gets to stay in contact with them, could be a good thing for her

Jykinturah

So… long distance yuri still on the menu? I joke!

entipikal

Ok that does it, Verengt is officially one of my favourite side characters and I would do anything for them!! I'm so happy they got to clear things up and are staying in touch with Talita

Chase

Yay! My wishful thinking is happening! Wonderful page, made me smile. Really love Verengt. A shame! But, we have traveling to do!

Halfaqueen

i imagine Verengt will be incredibly surprised to hear just how long Talita was on that actual dirtball and all the more glad she finally got out

Adrienne R

spacebook friends confirmed

EVH

Kids these days and their alien technology!

Valentina José

Idk why but panel 3 makes me so happy. hehe. a shame!

rey

Oh wow, shows how human-centric my mindset is. I thought this would have been an issue!

Dandy

yesssss pen pals!!!!

BakedBananners

especially considering how she was trying to figure out her ethnicity with idrisah earlier in the book, like she doesn’t have to be from homeplanet culture because skychasers are still centaurs too… (hope I’m explaining that right lol -_-“)

Adrienne R

"My children are better with alien technology than me" and lifts up their cover-thing to reveal all their larvae are texting and video chatting

ByTheBrooks

You can tell how Talita expects to face resentment and hostility from telling Verengt about her decision, yet all they do is go “Sucks. Anyways,” I hope they’re able to remain in contact, Talita needs more friends. Also with Verengt lifting their gown? Will Talita see a baby? HAS she ever seen a baby? That would be another fun fact to drop on Verengt “sorry I’m staring at your bean bags I’ve never witnessed a child.”

Rebel Spy

...if every one of those pupae has some manner of ipad i will laugh so hard

rabbitwarden

something about this little exchange just touched me right in the culturally disconnected native

tobi

I really like Verengt

Sparky Lurkdragon

This is so sweet and I'm so happy they're exchanging contact info with each other!! I wonder if this starts the process of Talita eventually visiting the centaur homeplanet in her 40's. :D

SenGrisane

Oh yeah. Mail buddies!

Murkydepths

Legit thought for a moment by her 'children' she meant her current larvae and was reaching in her clothes to pull one out. *holds out baby* give them ur phone number

Shannon O'Connell

Yay, they're going to keep in touch! Tho the fact that it's all working out now makes this more bittersweet; if Mel hadn't been, well Mel, this would've been a wonderful opportunity for both Talita and the whole Gwailer Clan. 🥲

rykie

I feel like Talita went into this interaction expecting to be blamed for causing trouble and inconvenience to others, since that is her experience with management and HR (she started this job right out of college iirc, so it has been her only professional environment). Instead, she is experiencing empathy, curiosity, and reasonable conversation. And the thing that she is expecting to catch annoyance for is instead being super respected b/c of cultural reasons. Instead of being a problem and irresponsible and needy, she's being seen as reasonable and helpful. I really hope she becomes pen pals with Verengt

mfortooate

love love love verengt's little arms pouch, the pouch for arms

Shadow

Auh. All of these latest pages have made my heart so happy, but this one really sunk it in. Verengt has got to be absolutely one of my favorites out of the side cast and I direly hope we keep getting to hear from them and their clan in the next books! What a wonderful connection with a culture that’s felt so distant to Talita. They really are a fantastic diplomat, props to them!!

Dylan Powell

This is such a wonderful analysis of this part of the story🥺🧡

rykie

And the fact Verengt feels they have to state that they'd never keep someone from traveling implies that sometime in centaur culture nomads were not able to freely do that.

rykie

Or... calls one of their children over to help? I'm not sure how smart or self-aware they are as larvae.

Calcifer

Oh thank god, we get to leave on a high note. yES. I never even thought about how a culture so centered around traveling would take such a quick departure on the chin, but yeah, that makes total sense. I suppose I was looking at it from a human (and avian?) point of view. I imagine there's a lot of goodbye's during a nomad's constantly moving life. It's so very Talita to offer to help them even after leaving Dirtball. I hope she does keep in contact with them, even past helping with work transitioning. Talita herself could have benefited from such a thing when she was thrown in the deep-end *pointed cough.*

enigmew

For a very split second I thought verengt was talking about the infants and was gonna whip out a baby who’s chewing on a cellphone or smth. iPad baby…
