That's so sad!! / (◕o◕) \ I remember now, Poor things were forced to flee. I can only imagine the fear for their lives, even during a rescue. Ooh but Sheru sounds so brave with his story! I do wonder about their powers and how they are perceived as threats, sounds a lot like how Freckle is on the run again. Okay, take a deeeep breath... ahem, ahem... fan GUSHING time!!!
Your panels are so awesome!! Legit followed along so well like an animation! I love the middle panel following Freckle down the stairs. Such a talent to build your lines to keep the story moving, and getting to read the narration was a real treat. Gahh I love that you focus on specific characters at a time, it immerses me into the world so easily and I'm all like "YES, I wanna know everything!! ^_^" Freckle is so awesome hiding from the guards, just a pro at this point. Even Chris would be like "Hmmhmm, that's what's up Red Eyes. Ya got this UwU (well, maybe still frowning but a little proud anyways xD)!!"
Of course, I am excited on how the pair will help Sheru and Mermedi escape, and can't forget the cutie Lil' Tim <3
PS. I L-O-V-E Freckle's eyes on the bottom panel. Oh my gosh, I live for surprise cuteness like that!!!
