Roy: Oh, hey, little guy.
- Panel 2
Zooms in on Bloodfeast, who looks sad.
Roy: Sorry, Belkar is still inside.
Bloodfeast : kwooooor...
- Panel 3
Roy walks over to a rock, and Bloodfeast skitters away.
Roy: Don't worry. I'm not going to try to pet you or anything.
Bloodfeast : Grrkt! Grrkt!
Roy: I'm just going to sit here and wait for a minute until my little sister contacts me again.
- Panel 4
Roy sits on the rock and waits, with Bloodfeast close by.
- Panel 5
Julia's enhanced Sending Image appears, as Roy continues to sit on the rock with Bloodfeast near his feet.
Julia: How did you know I was about to call?
Roy: Dad always seems to know when I'm alone.
Since you're tapping into his Blood Oath, logically you should get a similar feeling.
- Panel 6
Julia: Oh. Yeah, obviously that's what it was.
Roy: Really? Because it's total nonsense I just made up off the top of my head to justify a lucky guess.
- Panel 7
Julia: Oh! I knew that! I mean — why would you do that?!
Roy: To make the point that just because you're smart doesn't mean you know everything. Even about magic.
- Panel 8
The panel zooms in on Roy.
Roy: Also, come on — dunking on each other is how you and I express love.
Roy: And every other emotion.
Roy: And mild hunger.
Roy: I probably should've had some of that soup.
- Panel 9
The panel zooms back out. Bloodfeast crawls over Roy's feet.
Roy: Anyway, we found our to missing paladins.
Julia: They were lost?
Roy: As it turns out. I didn't know that last time we talked, though.
- Panel 10
Julia: Does that mean you've done nothing but fix something that wasn't a problem this morning?
Roy: You need to realize that by this point, we're usually eight steps deep into dealing with some new obstacle that doesn't get resolved until after a boss battle.
Roy: Zero progress is a huge step forward.
- Panel 11
Julia: Because you're...usually moving backwards?
Roy: We only have a brief window to act before we regress to the mean.
