Where the Heart Is

CHAPTER 2

NUM: "She sure is taking her time."

Ísja and Num are sitting on the curb. Num is slouched over with one knee up, leaning his head on it. Ísja is grinding some sort of medicine with a mortar and pestle.

NUM: "What happened to getting us where we need to go as soon as possible? I bet we'd be there by now if we'd gone by ourselves."

Num grits his teeth.

NUM: "The Pocket could be gone by now, which would really mean we came all this way for nothing."

He pauses, then looks at Ísja, now a little concerned.

NUM: "Do you think they've noticed we're gone yet?"

ÍSJA: "Aye."

Ísja examines the medicine.

ÍSJA: "Mr. Keerko's gonna give us an earful or something when we're back."

NUM: "That's not awful."

ÍSJA: "Well, no..."

Ísja looks at Num pointedly.

ÍSJA: "Hanru's gonna be really disappointed in us, though. Again. Moreso in you than me."

Num's irritated expression has been replaced by some combination of fear and nerves.

AAAAND we're officially back! Thanks again to all of you for being so patient with me as I figure out what works best for me when it comes to making a comic! I appreciate it more than I can possibly express. Super excited to be posting again!

For those of you who haven't seen my blog posts during the hiatus: starting with this chapter, I'm only going to be posting one page a week. I'm not happy about it, but it'll probably make things a lot less stressful for me. I also made good on everything I said I'd do during the hiatus! There is now a functioning cast page, transcripts for each page (though I have to figure out how guests can see them–I promise they're there, though :) ), a search button, and a way to donate (if you feel so inclined!). While I don't currently have any rewards for Ko-Fi donations, I plan to start offering them at some point! Just gotta get the webcomic ball rolling a bit more before I think about that kind of thing in detail.

WHEW that was a lot! Anyway, hope you all enjoy what I've got coming this chapter! I know I've definitely enjoyed drawing it!
