Patreon Pin Up 9/29/25: More Training (Patreon)

This one is canonical and takes place at Valette Manor on the morning of the big beach trip currently playing out in the comic!

I like the idea that despite Kayden's insistence that he and Elianna are just friends, Tenma remains unconvinced that the two of them won't end up sex partners one day and that Kayden would be an unfit lover to Elianna as he is now. That's what Tenma says, anyway. It's a little sus that she's shown no such high standards towards Derek, Elianna's actual boyfriend.

Which leads to me, with heavy heart, having to pull the plug on a running gag. I liked the idea that Tenma would remain topless in increasingly absurd situations as the comic went on. But I want everyone to be at the beach if I can swing it. And Elianna would absolutely put her foot down here. There is no chance in hell she would be okay with Tenma being topless during a day trip that her boyfriend is along for. Tenma would have to be covered to join in. Even if it is just barely.

So while I say goodbye to one TRW tradition, I can take solace in that the one where Kayden is the only male who ever manages to soak his own face remains alive and well.
