He had it coming, what can I say? Dropping a woman down a hole is a TERRIBLE idea for a first date. Ask Alli. It didn’t work out so well… Wait…
Start reading chapter 1!
Humans and elemental beings living in a world run by steam - Out of My Element is a webcomic that tells the tale of a small band of revolutionaries that are trying to bring about a peaceful existence between the technologies of man and the forces of the primal elements.
Oh sna— wait, is she airbending?
haha no it’s just speed lines from how hard she slapped him.
let’s face it, we all knew he had that coming.
Yes, yes he did
Hey! I resemble that remark! Despite the fact I am a bastard (by dictionary definition) I’m actually a nice guy. I expect the people who used to work with me (especially those who worked *for* me) would beg to differ, however.
Lucien is a prime example of being wrong although technically right. Good for Jill! If she really hated him, though, she would have decked him — a slap is really a sign of attraction. (You’re off the hook, Jim) I mean, how many old movies had a scene where a slap turned ito a passionate embrace? Lots!
But Bill! A punch is completely uncouth for a lady to perform! Everyone knows an open-handed slap is far more sociably acceptable!
You shouldn’t expect a calm and composed response from a woman after “dumping” them as Lucien did.
don’t forget she still sees herself as a noble, and nobles always represent their house regardless of circumstance. Also I seem to remember an earlier page mention a loss of one’s noble status if they were found to be an elemental, I suppose we’ll get the reason for that when the explanation finally comes. I’m really anxious for the explanation, but I know that it probably will have its own arc by way responses have gone, that won’t be for a while since the first 3 or 4 chapter usually meant for character introductions and establishing moments that define a character’s personality and relationships with the rest of the main and/or minor cast.
