Chapter: Paso Doble

Finally… I finished drawing this chapter… Now I can go back to the hell that is CH8…
This week I’m staying over my sister’s, sitting my beautiful furry nephew, Nelson. He hates me extremely, but he’s also very very cute.

4 panels
Panel 1, 2: Régula II. The day before.
A shot of Régula in which we can see part of the town, filled with white houses and trees. There's a riverbank cut by two bridges. The sun is setting, so the entire atmosphere looks orange and pink.
The sun sets behind the mountains and can be seen by the nearby dam.
Fausta is happily tasting an icecream, looking surprised.
Fausta: Woah! What flavour is this??
Panel 3, 4:
Fausta and Felda are walking and both holding icecreams. Fausta is wearing the military uniform, Felda dressed as a civilian in blue tones. Felda's sporting the military red star, though. As Fausta talks about the icecream, she goes from delighted to mockingly sad.
Felda: What, chocolate? You never had chocolate icecream before?
Fausta: I don't think I've ever had chocolate anything before! I've been wasting my life.

Is chocolate a rare and expensive treat in their world? Global trade is probably not exactly what it is today in our world, but maybe cocoa planting will be possible in the southern parts of the Empire at story time.
(Nelson is indeed hypnotically cute, while he’s not hissing and scratching, at least…!)
It’s been literally one minute since Nelson got upset at me opening the fridge and getting him nothing in spite of his cries and ran after me to hiss and bite and scratch but got so hyper about it he hit the coffee table instead. and then pretended nothing happened (which I also did)
You’re not his usual can opener and you might just deliberately starve him for all he knows!
also since I’m here already: there’s literally no such as thing as GLOBAL trade. there is some trade though
When you have a population mostly deprived of chocolate better don’t let them know what they’re missing – getting hissed and scratched at would be the least of your worries!
“I’ve been wasting my life.” That’s a mood Fausta.
