Chapter: Paso Doble
I’m not saying I’m gonna take a break in August, but by now I should be back to my homeland and probably all I want to do is sleep and go to the beach and you are not allowed to judge me for that.

4 Panels
Panel 1, 2:
Steffano, followed by Nikita, enters the room. His father, Alessandro, is looking down into a glass full of red wine.
Steffano: Thought you should know the main party's in the other room. There's even food there.
Alessandro: Oh, I didn't know your childish idealism required me as your captive audience... But I should have figured.
Panel 3:
A wide view of the room. The walls are painted with crow motifs, there are too big windows to the outside and a fireplace at the center. The room is dark and illuminated by the fire only. Someone plays a piano on the right. Two people are standing next to each other to the left, while Alessandro and another person sit in two big chairs near the fireplace.
Steffano: Aaah, so that's what this is about.
One uncle, to the left: Oh, like you didn't offend us first? Quaestor of the Efficientist party? You must be out of your mind!
The other uncle on the big chair: That, or he's mocking us.
Steffano: My political affairs have never been a secret, uncle.
Panel 4:
Nikita, standing by the door, raises an eyebrow.
Uncle (vox off): Nor your other affairs.

The political intrigue! Love the shot from the wine class in the second panel, it’s so ominous.
The back room… where sparks fly from the political forge.
“Family, this is my new boyfriend.
Nikita, this is my family.
They already hate you and are probably plotting to murder us both, but that’s just normal under this roof.
Welcome!” 😜
Wait, webcomic creators need recreation, and even sleep? 🤯
While I’m recovering from this shocking revelation on my fainting couch, have a good time and lots of fun!
See you back when you’re good and recharged! 😁
That’s fine. Take all the breaks you need. Webcomic creators aren’t forced to work 24/7/365 until they’re dead! 😜💀💻
