I guess you were tempting fate by saying you had "nothing interesting like you guys" at the campfire meeting.
Double tempting with the hiding the witch thing too.
I think you had this comic Xira.
(I'm sobbing this is wonderful what an update bless this webcomic)

IS THIS NOT WHAT WE ALL WOULD DO
posted at 12:27pm on January 18th, 2018
gosh, it feels like we JUST started trusting Xira, boy’s got no luck. And slightly extreme responses, jumping in the river at this point would not help your case right now, kid.

You can still trust Xira!!! im sure he is a very trustworthy boy with nothing to hide.

OH MY GOSH!
You are so evil Shazzbaa! :D
I mean we should have seen some miscast coming from him, wow. Now he really fits in with the group. Though it is quite weird that now he broadcasts his thoughts. That must be awkward. Also this is like irony over 9000. The guy who is literally made up of secrets is now made transparent.
Also now I am wondering if Sev and/or Tari are some sort of bad luck talisman that brings miscasts upon others :P

"some sort of bad luck talisman" YOU KNOW XIRA IS PROBABLY WONDERING THE SAME THING RIGHT ABOUT NOW

"Okay, so since I met you guys, I have been incriminating myself helping the most notorious necromancer of the land. I got a run-in with the Agorath Order. My hair was forcefully uncovered. I was spending a night at a haunted inn in a town filled to the brim with abominations. Had almost been eaten by a face-stealer. Lost a finger. And now this miscast. All in the span of what, 2 days? Did I miss anything?"
*Sev with a smugface "You left out the part about blushing intensely on multiple occasion when Tari wasn't looking."
Xira: blushes intensely

If everyone who comes close enough can 'hear' him, that's gonna be a security risk. Because everything wasn't bad enough already. :/

I'm sure a constant stream of nervous thoughts will in no way impact our ability to stay hidden!! Its probably fine!!!!

Never have I ever related more to a character than Xira’s “jump into the river.” Holy cow you poor boy.

AAAAA OH MY GOSH I ACTUALLY GOT SOMETHING RIGHT FOR ONCE
okay gold star for me
I don't have any wildly clever insights for this page. Xira cute. SHIT is such a good reaction image. I'm glad u didn't jump into the river Xira. RIP anyway.

OMG YES CONGRATS
also
"a good reaction image" ur wish is my command

Okay, I LOVE the middle panel where he mildly says out loud, "Oh shoot" but inside his mind is thinking "SHIT!" So relatable. It's why I like being alone if I'm going to stub my toe or something so I can scream curses to the gods as loudly as possible and don't have to censor myself.

Back in chapter one I debated for a really long time whether to put swear words in the comic and for this moment I am so so glad I did. xD

Regarding the doodle for the vote: Oh boy!! That's the thing I was curious about!
Can I just say how much I love that you lavish us with so much additional in-character interactions through these extra scenes
P.S. Xira's ability to not think about the thing he wants kept secret beyond the fact that he wants to keep it secret so far is impressive. Good jorb kid

GOOD JOB KID,
K-KEEP IT UP,,,,

Ouch. And that's not just Tarry, it's everyone that can hear him.
(his thoughts are priceless though)
Also love Sev's reaction: "he's running away? That prooobably means I should follow him, and there's no way he'll be unhappy about it".
I like the parallel with the scene where Xira lost his fingers. Hope Sev can be as useful as Xira was.
Also I'm headcannoning his "She can't know" as refering to his feelings towards her and not to whatever shady business he has with the other presumed witch.

Sev is magnetically attracted to opportunities to tease pals
posted at 12:32pm on January 18th, 2018
AAAAAAAAAAA It took me awhile to be sure what had just happened but WHOOPS! I'm sure this can't end awkwardly in any way!
I like how for a brief second he's considering reacting to problematic mind reading by jumping into a river, surely somehow THAT will allow escape and not make everyone think you're a crazy person right??
The way the comic's always combining plot/worldbuilding with character shennanigans is just gold...
He's thinking 'she can't know,' so for now I'm thinking only Tareth can read his thoughts? She did exclaim about how she could, so Sev probably gets what just happened? Guess we'll find out next time!

"can't end awkwardly in any way" OF COURSE NOT!!!! WHATS A LITTLE MIND READING BETWEEN FRIENDS???
RIGHT XIRA??????????

Time to move to the wilderness, living the life of a hermit avoiding contact with all sentient life-forms for the rest of his life.
Poor Xira.

THE ONLY REASONABLE RESPONSE, REALLY
posted at 12:32pm on January 18th, 2018
WAITAMINUTE!
Page 5.7 panel 4. Xira is writing his runes, Tari is distracting him (not on purpose) and he says "you are going to mess me up"
Could it be because of that???
