If you're going to go out, may as well do it with a (forced) smile!
MOTHS! <3 Soooo cute looking! And poor Kass. You can just see his panic and suffering, even though he's smiling.
Well done, Valsalia. You keep amazing me with your ability to mix the most tricky emotions perfectly together.

Awright! Thanks; I wanted to make sure to get a good "Welp, guess this is it!" face.
Kass, that'd make for a really short story. Jeez. It's almost like she's not aware she's part of a narrative.
Also yay giant moths! I LOVE moths! They're friggin adorable. I refuse to kill them when they come in my house. I always shoo them out. Mothra FTW.

One of the specific goals I laid down for this comic was, "Must contain big fuzzy moths."
That is the single greatest goal ever set down in the history of mankind.
Going to see "za man". THAT can't be good!
But then again...seeing his taste in bugs...maybe it is a good thing? Anyone who likes bugs is already up a notch in my book.
Also dat last-panel face. The derp is strong with this one.

Well technically it was the current The Man's great-great-great-great grandfather who took a liking to the ivenmoths upon traveling to the area, and named his small, upstart tradehouse after them. It's been customary for the bloodline to show some degree of respect for the ivenmoths ever since, but the current The Man is especially fond of them, as he breeds them and keeps a few as personal pets.
...That doesn't mean he hasn't ordered the deaths of more than a few people, but that's just how business goes around here!

"Nothing personal my friend...it's all just business...
Now where's my snuffle-fluffykins? Who's a good moth? You are! Yes you are!!"
Now where's my snuffle-fluffykins? Who's a good moth? You are! Yes you are!!"
Or, "I am sorry; I'm not a cruel man, but your actions have forced my hand. Toss him into the moth pit!"
*Hundreds of big fuzzy moths descend upon the accused, batting him with dusty wings and lash him with their tiny curly tongues*

And the guy is just sitting in the moth pit as hundreds of cuddly moths float around him and brush him with their soft wings.
He's all, "Mmmmkay then...."

That third panel face would be great for a slideshow Icon for the comic! Also, I can't help but be reminded of a certain Indiana Jones (and the temple of DOOM) gif when looking at that last panel! YouTube version here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4s7vNU9uHw
Haha, that exact scene played out in my head as I was putting the text in. And yeah, Kass' third panel face is actually my favorite, despite how much fun I had with the fourth panel.
Now I'm left pondering whether you're rewriting it to make my guess incorrect because it was too good, or rewriting it to make it correct because it was, well, too good.
Ay think sow, Thanatos2k, but Ay don't think marrying a buffalow is legal yet, even in California. Maybe next year?
is this more than a metaphor? Does he actually glow and hang out in a tower?
No no he doesn't hang out in the tower, he stands atop it to glow.
(Actually the top floors are embedded in the cavern wall so this is impossible)

Ivenmoths are a dangerous and predatory species!
...If you're a fly.
...If you're a fly.
Pretty much all the same thing in the end, except that only one of them is troubled by the Hamburglar.
wow seems like this top guy is the final judge of death the way Kass is freaking out o:
Well as the one in power, he could certainly have him executed for any reason at all!
Feudalism; not even once.

That one yellow Moth looks like a friend of mine! X3
:o Don't worry Kass! ... :| It won't help your current predicument.

The man up top should hire some decorators to decorate the terrarium the moths are living in because they look sad. Look at the second panel. That yellow moth is definetly frowning. :( But what do I care? I don't even like bugs. Except maybe Yannit, even though she might go crazy and eat my face off. But, hey. After a while, if she apologizes, I'll let it go.
Later on we will see "Za man up top" have a canvas thrown over him to keep blood off his tunic when a subordinate has his head chopped off.
Kass has reason to fear.

Having read the rest of the comic, I find it strange that these moths are in a cage while the others aren't.
Viracroix likes to have a selection of some of the more visually appealing ones hang out in the glass display for guests from time to time! They don't care.
I keep having to remind myself that this is a Late Medieval/Early Renaissance equivalent setting, because the animal keeper in me is frothing mad that they don't have any apparent enrichment. Even just give them a couple rocks to climb on!
