Elianna kissing Kayden a little too long here isn't meant to be a scandalous thing, at least that's not my intent. A symptom of Elianna's sexual repression is that she tends to get overly physically affectionate with her close friends. Which I hope I'd set up well enough when she kissed Tenma in a previous chapter, but I wanted to re-establish it here. I wanted to show that all that pent up horni hasn't gone away since she started dating Derek, quite the opposite. It has only gotten stronger! :O

Meanwhile Luka and the maids are back! And you can bet that the only reason any of them are wearing clothes at all on this boat is because Elianna put her foot down.

On the technical side of things, man did I struggle with the composition of panel two. I knew I wanted panels two and three to flip perspective to show Derek was walking away. I needed that distance shown to make it clear he was out of earshot when Elianna started talking. But man that giant life vest made it damn near impossible for me to fit his actual face into panel two without covering Elianna and Kayden completely. In the end, I did kind of think him not being able to fit at all was kind of funny. Though you'll have to tell me if you could even tell what you were looking at in panel two there. XD
