Open Trade - Pg 208 (Patreon)

Steph wraps up her meeting with a trader with a mixed success. Steph might be getting the better deal if she stays out of jail. 

Then let's have a bit of a chat. 

I rewrote this page a bunch. I had a different idea. The more and more I thought about it the less it worked. It was a fun idea, but it was too big. It messed up a bunch of things I want to do later that I loved so much more. Sorting that issue out made something clear about the comic. We are past the halfway mark. 

There are not endgames for the charactersset in stone, but aspects of those endgames are starting to appear and take root. Story paths are starting to get cut off. We are not 'winding down'. There is a lot of ground to cover. We have people to meet. And there are some BIG things I'm exciting to write that I hope will be exciting to read as well. But I thought it was interesting that we are about halfway. 

As for the lost idea, I did save it. (Sometimes I delete failed ideas). Once the reason I can't do it appears in the story, I'll talk about. Or it may show up in a different story.
