Bijan strolls along the edge of the field. Lae keeps pace with him just hidden inside the jungle underbrush. The two talk back and forth
Bijan: I TRUST THE PRINCE IS SAFELY HIDDEN?
Silas: RELATIVELY SAFE.
Lae: YES, BIJAN. BUT ONE GUARD HAS BECOME A YAHAKRE.
Bijan: AH- THAT COMPLICATES THINGS. BUT NO ONE ELSE KNOWS THE JUNGLE LIKE YOU DO. DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM CHANGING. OUR PRINCE NEEDS YOU TO GUIDE HIM TO SAFETY.
Lae looks at the ground as Bijan instructs her. She doesn't like the idea of going with the prince. 
Lae: WHAT ABOUT HAICHENJA AND YOU?
Her mentor smiles at her concern.
Bijan: I'LL KEEP THOSE MEN BUSY. IT'S CLEAR THEY WANT TROUBLE.
In the distance, Tocho is yelling at two girls. They cringe away from him.

Recently I've become friends with Trevor and Brad from Shyeah!, a webcomic about hijink-prone, alcohol-loving chums living in Portland. It's a real pleasure knowing that the talent behind such fun stories and jokes are local. I'm eager to read more of this young comic and hunt down more Portland based creators. I've done a poor job networking with local cartoonists despite Portland's reputation as a comic-friendly city. Part of it is my mellow introversion. But the Stumptown Comic Fest coming up this weekend so it's my big chance to get out of my hermitage and meet more local artists.

      Lol I wonder what Tocho is yelling at those women? And I'm looking forward to Lae's journey getting the prince to the capital!

      He's a little frustrated so probably nothing pleasant. Stop being a jerk, Tocho.

      Bijan seems so cool, like he's been through this before. I don't know if I could keep calm like that! I'm looking forward to more exciting jungle scenes!
