“A robbery? What is this? Please, do go on, this sounds exciting! I feel somehow both uplifted and angry at the same time, is this normal? No no, keep going, I like this novelty! What’s going to happen next? How does it usually go?” <- Probably not what Rakhn is thinking but I can always hope.
Also, I say, that hatpin looks awfully puny in Rakhn's hand…
I am neither asexual nor lesbian but I agree 100 0/0 (percent) agree that Kendal looks good with his wild hair and cheeky smile! Brava @Cris as in Crisis! {If you don’t mind an old guy typing so) (Also with @Mat’s comment too!)
okay Kendal now that you have a/ followed the plan, b/ succeeded in getting Falst the time he needs to get what Dainix needs, and c/ been snarky bc it’s SO satisfying, can you PLEASE put two and two together and just. tell that extremely bored god WHY you’re here and let him see what happens when Dainix is unrockified!? THAT would also very likely be something he’s never seen before!!
I think Falst deserves an epithet after all this; he’s gone too long being the only gang member without one. How does “Fire Thief” sound?
Not drawing Vash out was not only good for Kendal’s character, but also for their diversion; keeping the spectacle out of Rakhn’s reach made him want it more, creating a better distraction than any entertainment could have done.
For centuries Rakhn’s been entertained by the Ignans for a clear exchange of protection and services, so the thought of entertainment with ulterior motives may never have occurred to him. He’s stunned to silence on this page.
This is all very cool and funny now, but what about later? How are Kendal and Falst getting out of the volcano area? Will Rakhn pursue them across the island? Cause an eruption? How will the gang get off the island if they can’t stay to make a craft? Will Tess and Erin, Kendal’s associates, be threatened by Rakhn, directly or indirectly? Have Tahraim and Caliban planed for an exit strategy too?
Prediction for next week: Rakhn will admire their guts and let them go … … Just kidding. He’s gonna get really mad now; being poor entertainment is one thing, stealing part of his most important aspect is another.
I’m thinking he’s going to drop or throw Kendal down before making a b-line to the temple, either physically running there or dis-incarnating here then incarnating inside the temple. Falst may try to escape with the fireseed shard, but I wonder if he’ll infuse Dainix’s demonheart with it while in the temple to prevent Rakhn taking it back.
Was not expecting that sassy line out of Kendal, but I love it. And hooray for Falst for getting that fire seed shard! But how quickly can it restore Dainix, versus how quickly is Rakhn gonna turn around and go after him? Or is he going to try to crush the small demigod in his hold first? I am delighted that the heist got this far but a smidge concerned.
Ah yes, the rare occasion of Kendal (seemingly) being snarky.
Anyway, here’s to hoping we get another Kaiju moment with Rakhn – but hey, who knows, maybe getting robbed *will* be amusing to him. I doubt it though.
All is going according to plan. (But how long before plan C?)
Now, there is a very wholesome way this scene can continue.
Or Kendal gets the Caesar Special Menu

Woo, part of my prediction came true! Falst broke the seed and it distracted Rakhn into killing our boy!
“Is this your first time being robbed?” Kendal, who gave you permission to snark this hard?
Not!! NOT killing our boy!
Proofreading, Rai!
Typo detected. Comment section, get them! XD
An honest mistake in a message of love? No mercy!
Red. Red made him. It’s rubbing off. XD I’m here for it lol
First: oh god, the relief at not having Kendal be stabbed by his own sword again
Second: The feeling of “NO” Right afterwards at this being a Friday and therefore we’ll have to wait till next week to see what happens
Third: I’m asexual and a lesbian, but damn does Kendal look good on that last panel with his hair like that

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kendal being cheeky, didn’t think I’d see this. I can easily picture Vash watching this with a shit-eating grin, going “That’s my boy!”
rakhn holding kendal like a kitten is so funny to me, his entire hand is the size of kendal’s torso

Cheeky grin Kendal!!!! Just what I didn’t know I needed this morning xD
Kendal being cheeky is a first. I love it so much.
Holy shit that smug ass grin, didn’t know Kendel had it in him.
All the time with Falst is rubbing off on him
We need to see this more!! If Kendal sasses the gang tho? Ah, . . run.
Oh Kendal’s getting sassy, we love to see it
The shard breaks lose! And Rakhn is quite frozen
Kendal smiles as he knows Falst has saved Caliban’s chosen
AW HECK YEAH
