Never seen a dialogue bubbled scribbled like that. Imaginitive and unique.

Excellent work on this page Reiss. I love the level of detailing - just right for a comic. The coblestone gestures are a nice touch to give texture, yet the man’s face in the bottom right panel is a very effective simplified shading technique. Keep up the good work guys (not to discredit squid with a interesting storytelling :]).

That’s a big kitchen.

So if half are magical, what are the other half? My vote is shiny. I like shiny.

What I prefer to think (an indeed dictate) happened is that as a guard he was not normally looking for aerial threats and causes for concern. He was patrolling ground level looking for people in distress and ne’er-do-wells. Then he saw something out of the corner of his eye (which happened to be a young woman flying through the air, but he’s not trained to recognize that out of the corner of his eye), and when he looked up, saw something much more identifiable– smoke drifting out of a window.

Did he actually see Tassin? We’ll get to that. But let’s go with priorities. You know that kitchen drawer full of tools and oddities that don’t really belong anywhere else but you know you’ll regret disposing of? Imagine half of those things are magical, and you have ten thousand of those drawers, and you just saw someone run out of your kitchen which is now on fire.

Excuse me, but what “an issue”?
That person might be just by chance practising rope swinging in the vincinity of a possible fire that just started and not have anything to do with it.
The guard is surely bright enough (Lantern of Brightness +5) to realize that. ;P

But not bright enough to realize a person swinging away from a possible fire that just started is an issue.

But hey, hey - he’s bright enough to realize that a fire in a library isn’t a good thing^^
