Daniels signing "I Love You" to Therie, suggested by Galen!

While Therie can hear perfectly well, she needs to use body language and hand signs whenever she doesn't have a pen handy, since she's mute. She's probably signed it to him before, enough that he's picked up what it probably means and is mimicking it back to her for the first time here.

Awww, that's so wholesome and adorable! ❤ Daniels is a great boyfriend! :)

Patrick Horton

I love that he is using sign language to communicate with his wife.

The little things we do for our beloved mates!🥰🥰🥰🥰

lordelcorion

Therie is so cute, IR jelly of Daniels.

Stephen Gilberg

What's her story? Damaged vocal cords? A curse?

Joltyjiv15

My favorite couple besides reed and prince

Denizen Blue

I love the idea that he picked up on what it means by context, it's very Princess Bride! "As you wish"!

Joltyjiv15

Wait she’s mute I do t remember that part of the story so she’s mute and royalty of the tigers interested

Feligris

Especially since I surmise that Therie would suffer even more from the "(dumb) animal" prejudice from humans even if she has normal intelligence, due to how she cannot readily communicate with them in an "intelligent" manner if she has no writing tools on her.

aphelius

Born that way?

Kapłan Sekty Pieczarek

Ok, that's it. Daniels is the best character in the TK universe. You may simp for Basitins, be freaky for vixens... But Daniels is the best, paws down

RemyHindle

It was revealed in the sketches that she's mute

Galen

This is great headcanon Tom, I love it!

RemyHindle

Yeah, that makes me feel bad for her though I'm glad she has Daniels and her relatives by her side

T- Wolf

I've been riding this ship since day 1. Never knew Theire was mute. Though it does explain why she has never said anything.

Drazgon

Such a beautiful suggestion, thank you very much

Just a Cat

Oh so adorable! They make such a cute couple! <3

Anonymous1988

Every time we think he's set an impossible standard, Daniels finds a way to raise the bar.

Isenlyn

Wait, Therie is mute ??

Hunter_emerald07

Well this the perfect couple know what each other problem of they not fully thing but they always be the best couple in the series ngl fr

Hunter_emerald07

Pls went we are viewer get new chapter is almost 1 month 🗿

Paul Hoffman

This is called mute ( dumb) is offensive to deaf culture i am deaf and thanks

coredumperror

I'm a bit confused about what you mean. Are you saying that "mute" is not the appropriate word to describe someone who can't talk?

Glenn Sellers

Oh, yeah. She's never been shown to speak. However, she has thought things before. Very early after her first appearance, she can be seen thinking, "Hi, Mom." to the tiger matriarch.

Sernard

This kind of gesture shows why he's a keeper

Spartan277

Well Deaf culture isn't Mute culture now is it? So who cares.

LancerBoi

Bizarre response. Taking a potshot at what offended this person. Describing someone as “insert any number of disabilities here” and dumb definitely is offensive, as it implies they aren’t able to communicate at all, but that’s not what happened here. Tom only said mute, which means silent, not dumb.

Xhan

I had a stroke trying to read this.

ShineyStars

OH MY THATS SO CUUUUTE!! I love this!

Sir Reginald Lee IV

I never knew Therie was mute. I thought she just couldn't speak English/Common/Human. Wow, that changes my perspective on their relationship and just makes it even more wholesome. I love this couple.

Isenlyn

I just never realized she never spoke. Now or feels obvious, but I never noticed. ^^

Sir Reginald Lee IV

Quite the surprise to me too. Like I said in my comment, I thought she just couldn't speak English/Common/Human Language, not that she couldn't speak at all.

Rook Prime

It's never been spelled out in the comic. Every time Therie shows up, there was a good reason she wouldn't have been talking if she could (Hiding in the background after a fling with Daniels, waving to her mother from across a marketplace, etc). The first time it was confirmed was on an earlier sketch.

Rook Prime

The lengths Daniels is willing to go for a human/keidran relationship in that world? You KNOW he loves that girl.

Kurtis Ryan

I got to admit, I love this couple. A side series on them would be kind of Awesome.

Joltyjiv15

Well she’s the daughter of that noble tiger so royalty probably and she was probably just born that way being mute is somthing that can happen you can hear but not be able to speak it’s not very common but it can happen

Oswald

These two are just to adorable; knowing therie is mute is also pretty interesting

hippiewerewolf

Tom, I truly appreciate seeing Sign Language in comics and pictures.

AstroChaos

Oh sweet baby Jesus that's way too adorable

Clover Kismet

I think what their saying is that the word 'dumb' is taken offensively to many in deaf culture, so the accepted terminology is 'mute'. Also, since both Deaf and Mute persons often use Sign Language, the deference between not speaking vs not Hearing in the Signing community is EARrelevent. ;) pun intended.

Clover Kismet

This is my Favorite couple in the Twokinds universe. (aside from Flora and Tom.. I mean Trace!) Thank you, Tom!

Darkest Sword

So very WHOLESOME and ADORABLE and PRECIOUS!!!

SCD

Therie: Oh wow, I didn't know you're a fan of heavy metal! Daniels: Huh?

Patrick Horton

She even could be more of a genius/prodigy but due to her disability, she would have such prejudices placed upon her. If her mother wasn't the Matriarch, she probably wouldn't have survived long because she would have been considered "stricken dumb" [if we go by the Christian Bible and the Songs from that religion. Yes, some of which still plays during Christmas 🎄.]

RemyHindle

Yeah, that's sad because she's very sweet and she could be a genius/prodigy, as you said

TheLoreMaker

So Therie is mute. I did not know that. Though, now that the topic has been broached, I realize I have never seen her talk before.

Clarence Grant

I wish I knew this sooner, I would love to see her interacting with Marsha from the wandering inn. Two cute mutes.

IcyNightMedic

Just gonna say this, they're quite literally a cute couple. <3

Mark Temple

Reads more like theyre saying the term "mute" is offensive. Especially since no one used the older and legit offensive term "dumb" in the first place. (Historically the term "dumb" referred to people unable to speak. But it gained a lot of negative connotation because people linked inability or difficulty with speech to perception of low intelligence, turning it into a slur. Thus the switch to the term "mute" which doesn't have that cultural baggage)

Combak

Super cute!

JeKeBe

Love the little downward-facing snout and ?, showing she looked down to see it and then immediately snapped back up with a beaming smile.

Drazgon

He's like Trace, but even simpler somehow. And without dark past pre memory loss, I saw people that don't like Trace for that. So I get why Daniels is so appealing. A simple guy who cares and loves.

Abraham Nightingale

As a Deaf person, I really appreciate the inclusion very much. Not many artists thought of implementing sign language in their artwork.

Joshu Kel'Machan

They look so young, so in love - oh these days …

Fortress120

Daniels and Therie need their side story.

Feligris

Incidentally I also had similar ideas, including not having her vocal cords repaired even if possible because apart from being part of her identity, she would find it a good way to judge especially the true nature of non-Keidran who interact with her.

RemyHindle

That's pretty good idea, it'll show how people, Keidran and non-Keidran, treat her with her disability

silver dragonia

they're really cute togetherand she also deserves hugs and kisses from daniels and he deserves hugs and kisses from her too

Tiglish

Such a sweet time they having

Ordithus

This is so sweet!

feralcat52

I totally love this interspecies couple!

Hogan

When you learn he's actually been "listening" :D

Wild Space Saga

They got one. Tom did a whole series of artwork involving their story. I think it's tangentially canon to the story.

Jerbic

Have you told us Therie was mute prior to now?

Lightning

I'd like to see this colored. It's soo beautiful!

ZisJr

Aww, very sweet 💕

J. Martin Laursen

Therie has moved her bells from her tail to her ponytail.

J. Martin Laursen

Just because Therie cant´t talk, does not mean she can´t communicate.
