Actually, she's spot on! Xylic never, in so many years, has told Bactine how he feels about her, and is still extremely guarded with her although he does accept her into his very small circle of friends.

He does love Sangwine, though, in a familial way.

Fairies, being immortals, have the ability to perceive things others can't. She just plays it dumb most of the time, because wise people tend to realize being underestimated is the best policy.

Hope hasn't done anything that Xylic sees as making her worthy to be in his "clique". Also, the fact that he thinks she's after him makes him put up all kinds of spiky shields when he's around her, as he's always done in the past. He hates female attention, yet longs for it, and those two aspects of his personality can't seem to reconcile themselves. The fact that Bactine has always been extremely ignorant of Xylic's attractiveness had a large part to play in why they are so close, because he has never felt his seclusion to be threatened by her.

PLUS, as was explained by Hope some time ago, she is immortal and just plain doesn't have romanticism in her, along with a vast plethora of other mortal feelings and trappings, which is part of the reason why she's harder to identify with than most of the characters. So the kissing is moot. Too bad Xylic doesn't know that; he might like her more.

I absolutely adore Hope. I always knew she had it in her. Beautiful page by the way.

She's brilliant :) But I expected her to do something like that, wouldn't be the first time. She's just playing it cute and silly most of the time.

This page made my day! I guess I have to admit that I like Hope now.

*chuckle* Between the new page, the new chapter of Fromage, and this comment, my day was made much happier.

Haha, me neither, but then I've been rooting for Xylic/Bactine right from the start...

Still do not like Hope. She is the only character I dislike, and it's persistent so far... *sighs*

0.0 is this the same Hope?

I don't want see him kiss her. I want her do it again. Also, she's partially wrong. He opened himself to Bactine and let her come under his shield. Sangwine also had some opening, he trusted him enough to talk about his past. He protects himself against loneliness by opening his heart to the ones that earned his trust. Hope is just not inside this little circle of close friends.

I just took a quick look at random strips throughout the archives . . . wow, your style of drawing has really changed!

I love Hope's expression (mainly the eyes) in the middle-bottom panel, and the curve of her back in the rightmost center row panel. Her motions throughout the last two rows + the changing "camera" angle really capture how she is sashaying around Xylic!

I'll add "Don't mess with a fairy" to the "Let the Wookie Win" chapter of my guide to life, methinks. Beautiful page, especially the eyes of the characters. Really lets you see the emotion

Wow, way to go Hope! I love all of the expressions in the last panel, but none more than Xylics :). I totally didn't see how you could POSSIBLY make Xylic and Hope work until now...This new side of her character REALLY makes me want to see them together!

OK, I was never much of a fan of Hope, but I think you just changed my mind. That 2nd-last panel alone...
