Re: Non-HPU: Pokémon: Explorers of the Veil
Einar tilts his head a bit, eyebrow quirking curiously as he looks over the Rattata a bit more closely... His eyes tell of his mind running, but a slight frown tells of hesitation...

If Steward could evade detection for six months then why was he so easy to "apprehend"? One way to avoid rushing would be to have more panels in a strip. At 17 panels and 10 lines, this one strip is longer than some arcs (such as Zap! or Getting Physical). Okay, first Good for Steward for ...

Let's delve into this a little. Marion wakes up blah blah and meets Steward. That still feels like a lot of effort just for it NOT to be Steward doing the deed.

Henry is dead. He has no ownership and, magic power aside, that single coin probably isn't worth enough to press charges of note over it. Misdemeanor at best.
