Many Morning Machinations
-FRIDAY FEB1 2019 EDIT- Quick status update: There won’t be a comic today, next update will be Monday. Ashamed to say I have no better reason for this than poor planning and sleeping through an alarm. >_>
I did not want something, I did not! Oh, hi Tehk.
XD Pfff…
Also was Tehk being nice to Selkie his way of sucking up cuz he wants her protection? Or he’s trying to show her off to his Uncle?
Either he wants to cozy up to an echo or wants to not piss off an echo.
And me thinks that Amanda is crushing on the new boy, which is ironic for a number of reasons.
I don’t think that’s crushing. I think she wants him to teach her magic.
At ten, these are functionally identical
Compared to Amanda Tehk is an amateur.
Dave, are you using a different brush style for these latest couple of strips? Because something seems oddly different about their linework.
You’re tearing me apart, Dave-y!
I think Tehk’s changed attitude is because he genuinely wants to be better friends with an Echo. To him, Echoes are super high status and totally cool.
Amanda, however, is definitely plotting something. Look at those overly-innocent blue eyes. Watch out, Tehk!
Amanda heard the rumors and wants Tekh to teach her magic. It’s clear she was the dragon that asks the boy to teach it magic in the story she’s writing. The dragon even has identical orang hair to amanda.
Loving that transcript text, Dave.

The Room. Truly a modern classic. Right up there with Rocky Horror and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
Called IT!
Hmm…it’s hard to tell; some of Tehk’s expressions when speaking to Selkie look pretty sincere and others look overly cheerful. I’m going to hazard a guess that being an Echo outweighs being a ‘drama queen’ Jin’Sorai in Tehk’s eyes and so now he legitimately thinks she’s pretty cool.
Another thing to consider is that while we’ve gotten plenty of hints and statements that the Sarnothi expect a great deal from Echoes, I also wonder if Echoes tend to be given the Royal Treatment as long as they live up to expectations. That might also explain Tehk’s sudden change in attitude – he’s not in a class with a Jin’Sorai drama queen, he’s in a class with someone that would normally hold celebrity status back home.
Many morning Machinations making Mina’s Migraine Multiply more.
Oh the irony!
