Ahh these are all the questions we had!!! Thank you!!!!

VAMPIRE KITTY RAZ

Lee

So gorgeous. Ethereal. Imagine an anime of this, yall. Incredible

Juliette Wade

Ask him the questions, Raziol! I bet he'll answer them! (I hope hope hope so!)

Sang Steppenwolf

SULVAIN YOU BETTER TELL HIM THE TRUTH OR I SWEAR TO THE GODS I'LL RIOT AND POKE YOU IN THE EYE!

Em

Raz is like whatchu talkin bout Willis?

Brannen

Please, please, please!!! Let the next several pages be a backstory/explanation of how Raz survived the bite and of Sulvain explaining his condition exactly.

Livi

Youre both immortal cuz ur nerds lol love u guys

shy

sulvain that was not a very good explanation buddy 😭😭

Ty Waldrop

OMG I can't wait to see what Raziol has to say to that!!

simquall

I am so here for them to finally have this talk because it was gonna have to happen sooner or later. The truth comes out in the open!

Atlanas E. Kildarin

Is Raziol suddenly realizing something in the third panel? “What does he mean? My life threads are not like his because mine are alive?” Did Raziol just realize that Sulvain isn’t alive??? I don’t think they ever discussed life threads together though, so maybe he’s just remembering the bite.

Annika

Honey maybe you should explain yourself a bit more before you start asking him questions

Fond Phantom

eternally alive x eternally dead trope my beloved

Fond Phantom

also that subtle sulvain’s cape comeback……………… the biggest question is whether they kept each other’s capes. please. i need to knoW.

Kass

ive always thought of myself as a patient person, but a whole day is somehow SO LONG🥺🥺😭😭

homebody_adventurer

You boys better sit right there until you talk it allllllllllllllllllllll out. I mean it.

saltandcookies

I knew it!!! Raziol’s life threads never fully snapped! That’s probably how he could tell Sulvain’s lips felt cold at the masquerade—because he’s still warm and alive. 🥹 (Not all vampires are!) I hope the hints Sulvain just dropped are enough for Raziol to make the connection that Sulvain is undead—although it would be even better if Sulvain explained it to him. Maybe we’ll get some more backstory?

Brooke

Sulvain, I’m going to need you to be the one to answer his questions right now. There’s a LOT about your makeup that he does not understand. 😅

Jay Parker

I love the design you chose for the life threads! Making them look like they flow along both the skeleton and organs? Just muah beautiful.

Atlanas E. Kildarin

Oh wait, it doesn’t even look like Raziol’s is looking at Sulvain or his hands in that third panel. 😦 So he might not even be focusing on the signs. Is he still hung up on what Sulvain said a moment ago?

saltandcookies

Ooo, that’s a good point! That was a pretty big bomb for Sulvain to drop and just move on from. Based on the way the conversation has been going so far, it might shift back to the questions he has for Sulvain rather than answers to the ones Sulvain asked. I think it’s also possible that Raziol is shocked Sulvain knows about the creature. He wasn’t there when Sulvain killed Luc and sealed the creature away, and I can’t remember if Hargrave mentioned anything in front of them. He also doesn’t know Sulvain had been investigating it before it attacked him. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. 🥰

Alyssa

I’m curious to learn if Sulvain is calling them “life threads” instead of “ligelumes” to make it easier for Raziol to understand, or if there was a change to the language over time. Or maybe it’s just the literal signed interpretation?? Also that last panel of Raziol is so frickin’ gorgeous! And his eyes when Sulvain brings up the creature! 💔💔 We know he was researching starkitty a little back in the library and maybe now can at least get a few more answers about what happened to him. And Sulvain, of course!! Ahhh I’m loving ALL of this!

OdacioChoco

Agjfjgkg I really wanna read the next page already! I’m so curious as to what raz’s explanation is.

Alyssa

Omg that would be such a cool hoodie design, saltandcookies!!

Juliette Wade

It's hard to know what Raz is responding to, but that could conceivably be a "Wait, honey, are you dead?" moment.

Juliette Wade

Agreed! Especially if it were done with couched embroidery rather than printed. I may have a craft project in my future...

Juliette Wade

I suspect "ligelumes" is specialized magoi terminology and he wouldn't expect Raziol to know it.

Emewyn

Is Raziol speaking in English, or French?

Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)

Sulvain you have to understand that you are giving no answers and rising more questions for poor Raziol Also lore drop Raziol is alive 💕 I suspected this because of the abs/metabolism Raziol will realise Sulvain is literally dead in few moments.. oh god..

Missiek43

Can Sulvain sense Raziol's ligelimes now?! I remember when Raziol "died" Sulvain saw them stretched thin, to the point of breaking, then he couldn't sense them anymore. What happened that he can see them now? Was he just panicked and unable to connect to him back then?

Missiek43

The Abs!!! Absziol!!! Raziabs... Cough... What were we talking about about again?! 😂

Missiek43

KaiJu said he switched to English after he called Sulvain's name because that's the language he's used to speaking at the moment.

Missiek43

Yessss do you ever just get so excited to reread Novae with all the new updates? Like all of this is going to flow so nicely when we can read it all at once .....and by all at once I mean spend the entire day neglecting everything and binge reading. 🫣😂

Missiek43

OMG if you sell them I will chuck my wallet at you....TAKE my money, please.

Missiek43

Do we need to put them both in the "get along shirt"? (Have you seen that where a Mom shoved two siblings in a giant shirt and made them stay that way until they quit fighting?)

Missiek43

What if Raziol somehow kept Sulvain's journal?! OMG I would scream and cry and be so happy. (Even though to may be rotting at this point, I don't care)

Missiek43

OMG Raziol in the suit Sulvain bought him.....and his long hair! 😭

Sang Steppenwolf

So I had this terrible thought in my head pop up, and if I have to suffer I'm taking people down with me. "When I saw you in the church, I feared it's effect would claim you in time. But you live." So he sent Raziol away, with the promise that he would try to find him should he wake... all with that idea in mind. That promise was a lie, regardless of him not knowing how long he'd be asleep. Sulvain crying as he watched him leave wasn't just because of uncertainty. He was under the impression that Raziol would die anyway.

Emily Rochester

I know, I kept thinking about how that nice suit was ruined in the ruckus and it made me sad. SO fashionable. (Where did Sul get the money to drop for it, anyway...? 🤔)

Atlanas E. Kildarin

Oh yeah, Raziol wouldn’t know Sulvain knew about Kitty! Or that Sulvain killed the one who did this to him, let alone *how* he killed him. (Giant smoking pile of bones some poor church caretaker saw and said, “Whaaaaat?! I’m not paid enough for this!!!” 😱)

Emily Rochester

I'm excited to explore more of KaiJu's spin on vampires! If Sulvain sensed a traditional vampire, it would probably feel very similar to himself. But Raz feels very much alive to him, and he never actually died to be reanimated. Can't wait to learn more about this!

Emily Rochester

But it's such a good word and makes so much sense! Patricia C. Credentials used something similar in her Enchanted Forest Chronicles series. Like if The Force was tangible and could be tugged and pulled like invisible strings to make magic happen. Very cool concept.

Iselin

I see that Raz is processing the info, but I don't feel like he is ready to tell the all truth about himself🦁🦇

S Mcnamara

Currently recovering from and injury and so the reread is becoming a very frequent activity 😅🫣

S Mcnamara

Every time there is a leigelumes panel I get so excited, I really struggle with that type of linework and y’all make it look so effortlessly elegant

Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)

I assume the ligelumes sensing may be distance sensitive and you can't just easily tell which are who's (since he didn't know who's they were and figured out it was Raziol from the cloak) And perhaps in a stress of dying they are easy to pick up? "Louder" almost?

Juliette Wade

I mean, I think you're right, but I don't think that was a lie. I think he's literally spent hundreds of years looking for Raziol in every face he sees, even though he was certain Raziol was dead.

Juliette Wade

Sulvain gets paid a lot for his necromancy services, and he doesn't eat, so he wouldn't have a lot of ongoing expenses...

Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)

S: Was this The Creature? R: oh, you mean Kitty? S: ..what R: Her name is super hard to pronunce so I'm calling her Kitty S: 👁️👄👁️

saltandcookies

I think it had to do with the artifact Hargrave used on him too. It weakened his powers a lot, which was Hargrave’s intention. He said some of the effect lingered, and it even made it difficult for him to fight the other necromancer in the woods. So maybe he couldn’t sense them consistently or from as far of a distance as usual.

Lee

He’s not used to be talking about this with anyone. Surprised literally anyone knows what happened after he’s spent 303 years hiding it. It must feel so exposing and raw

Eibhlin Brennan

Oi! Stop freaking your forever boyfriend out by not explaining things properly Sulvain!!! Granted I doubt anyone knows about what Ras's mom did to save his life, which is what probably saved him from going off the rails with Kitty Venom. But still. You gotta chill out and actually make sense my little zombie child.

simquall

I’ve reread the entire series so far probably about 10 times 😭

Roedii

Sul, sweetie, you need to do a little bit better communicating dear. Our starboy doesn't understand fully what you are and how you still live. You'll have plenty of opportunities to talk about other things now that you two have a literal eternity together 😗

Lunar

Just as I was getting used to seeing Raz with short hair, that last panel hit me. He looks absolutely gorgeous. I am so happy that they've finally reunited and they're slowly beginning to talk things out. They have a long way to go but I'm excited to see how things go!

Meliz Art

Raziol with long hair. My heart skipped a beat💗 Why is he so pretty KaiJu?

Ethan Davey

I really like the picture of raziol at the bottom

Zeth

I had forgotten Raziol didn't know

Bekahbookwyrm

DOES OUR DEAR RAZZMATAZZ STILL HAVE SULVAIN'S CLOAK???

Sas (Milo's studio insulation funds)

I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT TODAY 😭 about a scene where he take it out and give it to him back. But it's probably so fragile it's not wearable anymore. I mean if it is wearable I won't complain too. We have a vampire and undead I won't be telling that a cloak surviving 300 years is too unrealistic 😂

saltandcookies

Based on how long Sulvain has had that cloak (even all the way back to the 1100s) I’m betting it has some sort of charm on it to help preserve it. I get the feeling Raziol kept it too. 😆❤️ If he did, Sulvain will probably feel really touched. That cloak has a long history, almost as long as his own, and I’m sure it’s precious to him. I have a theory that it was given to him by his master after he was raised from the dead, and that Udaya eventually embroidered it for him. 🥰 I went back, and he’s wearing the cloak with his crusades armor, BUT it hasn’t been embroidered in that picture. And KaiJu mentioned the pattern is an Indian design, and we know Sulvain has always loved embroidery from the bonus comic. I can’t wait to see more of his backstory. 💕

Kaiotee

Oh, long haired Raziol owns my soul. I hope he still has Sulvain's cloak🥺

Mangsney

I always forget just how little Raz got to know about Sulvain back then... But thank you Sulvain for making it clear our (and your) beloved Star Boi is well and truly alive 🥹
