They’re waiting for Grandma and Grandpa and Steve to order proper food, but sometimes one must tempt oneself.
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.

I was wrong. ‘Tis not the good doctor I thought it was.
Randomly meeting other Sarnothi just being “around” is still kind of a new experience on Selkie, after 8 years of “what am Is?
New character? *waits eagerly to find out their name*
Ooh! Who is this new character and who can I ship them with?
Don’t tell me he’s going to go all “you’re from the bad tribe” on poor selkie. Little guppy is only 9.
Hopefully just more of a “why is a stranger/some random kid bothering me in public, ugh”.
Could be. He seems to me like a gangling adolescent.
Thats kind of how I read it, but even outside of the civil war, tribes often don’t mix, and when they do, they work on assumptions of group personalities, so “why is this *other* talking to me? thats not normal”
I love that his markings are straight up emo.
annoyed teenager… is annoyed by small child that he doesnt know and automatically doesnt like because hes a teenager and hates everything.
I have a young teenager (who was younger than Selkie when the comic started), and I can confirm this would be a reaction. Luckily, most teens outgrow this when they hit 16+.
It’s an impression of mine, or does he look like a Sar’teri?
markings darker than their skin… this one’s a Tel’Dora, like Pohl and Sai Fen.
Two questions come to mind. Why did she speak to him in English instead of sarnathi? And that one made me wonder why she didn’t do the close her eyes and point her claws at her face thing?
I believe that if I were in Japan, and saw a fellow American, I would not walk up to him and bow and say konichiwa. I would stick my hand out and say hey there how you doing.
I would assume it’s because English is her default setting, and she’s not meeting him in a Sarnothi setting, where the traditional gesture would be appropriate. She treats her Sarnothi schoolfriends like the rest of the kids.
Your analogy doesn’t hold true, unless you had been raised in Japan as a Japanese person, and had to go to classes to learn about America. Then at a restaurant, you saw a European dressed in Japanese clothes. Would you walk up, click your heels, and doff your cap?
