I know, I know, we finally got our party of adventurers out the door, why cut back to the people who AREN’T going? Don’t worry, we’ll get to the adventure quickly. It’s just that we haven’t really heard from Trigger lately, and I kind of needed to get this little moment in BEFORE actual adventure stuff happened. Besides, Trigger probably knows Layla well enough to know she’d get embarrassed if he had a conversation like this while she could hear. And come on, it’s just a cute moment, right?

Less cute, but still full of feels, there’s the latest Killer Station of Deadly Doom!

(Historical Notes: Wow, SEVERAL seeds planted in this one page that didn’t pay off until years and years later.  I like these moments that create the false impression that I plan stuff out in advance.)
