Speaking is a bit of an unusual way of conveying thoughts, for a race that naturally communicates through localized mental networks. And pheromones. Some travelers have reported that when a few indrel seemed to be having a (silent) heated discussion amongst themselves, they could really smell the result.
In the trip report, it is described as: “Kinda… tangy, I guess? Hell if I know.” This then led to an investigative survey funded by several prominent local tradehouses to determine whether or not the indrel’s pheromones were capable of influencing other races, and/or if they were filled with some manner of delicious tangy fruitlike substance. The result was negative on b counts, and the scholar who suggested the studies was ritualistically pelted with books by his peers for his failure.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
The ritualistic pelting with books needs to be a thing.
The look of hate
Sure, take liberties with your friends hair.
That acidic death stare is called for.
Can we talk about later on down the comic that THIS PAGE singlehandedly saved the plotline many MANY pages down the line? Her behavior towards hair.
Yeah, Elim’s little prank here bought them a lot of time and goodwill.
Did the chant SHAME! SHAME! while doing the pelting?
“You are a dead man, Elim Dorelga.”
It’s beginning to look like there is a second set of limbs on the Indrel’s back, with three digits securely holding on to the shoulders. On page 3, fourth panel, the Indrel taking payment is using one of these limbs. Hah, and the rock plaque in the first panel on page 3 shows that the Indrel have six limbs. Curious physiology the bugs have, yes indeed.
If this is ever animated, I think she should be voiced by Shohreh Agdashloo.
