Leif: Thorn . . . You make me so happy. All of the time.
I still don’t always get you — but I started thinking, so what if one day you surprise me in a bad way? We could deal with it! I would want to! You’re worth it.
Then I got to thinking, for no particular reason, about how dangerous your job is. I could lose you — not just to some transfer, I mean really lose you — Then you’d be gone, and I never would’ve told you that I love you. And it would hurt so much! Because I love you.
[mmMMM– ]
I also thought for a hot minute that I should tell you to make your life simpler, by forgetting about me and giving Kale a chance.
Thorn: [snrk]
Leif: But now, also for no particular reason, I think that might not work out so well.

Remind me, has Thorn declared his love to Leif?
i think so
He did, back during Summer Sunshine.
Oh god no, Kale is not a person to go to for simplicity.
I mean, he’s not wrong.
But Thorn still has two hands-
^^^Yassssss. 😉 I was just thinking, “Well, you know, three is a nice number.” 😉
That kiss did not seem strictly necessary under the terms of his current contract, I’m wondering how Leif didn’t get zapped.
Surely if the ruby bracelet protected him from being reprimanded, the embassy would have discovered that during their extensive analysis.
…or has Leif simply achieved mastery of holding still in a “I’m only tolerating this and did not initiate it” way?
I feel so sorry for Leif, having all these extra layers of doublethink on top of the complexity of figuring out his own feelings
and I’m so glad he got there
Oh yeah, Leif is great at that. He demonstrated it during The Burns and the Bees, and also during Borrowing Limits (where he eventually got into it, deciding he wanted to do that at least once).
I thought about that too. I think that Thorn probably has some kind of “extra” package in place for this particular party?
Aaaaaaaa! This page made me so happy! Not only did I cry, but I danced in place for awhile!
Also, Leif is still being smart and circumspect here, with his “for no particular reason” stuff. Way to go Leif, survive what the Embassy is doing to you for now. Then, with Thorn’s help, (and years of Therapy) start to unpack the damage. But that is Future!Thorn’s and Future!Leif’s problem. For now, let these cinnamon buns have their moment.
Assuming there IS Future!Leif. I have a suspicion that the reason Future!Thorn is in the past is something happening to Leif …
I’m normally inclined to use GIFs for this kind of situation, but since the reply box won’t let me put them in here is my attempt with emoji;
😆😆😆🎇🎆🎇💙❤️💜
Much better than GIFs.
Can I just say I flipping LOVE the color palette on this strip? Amazing. Outstanding. Spectacular. ESPECIALLY the kiss panel!
I strongly agree!
