Awwww, they're being just a little bit more honest with each other. Don't worry. One of them will fuck it up sooner or later.

"But Ulfric... I'm a Stormcloak and the Dragonborn besides. If I was a man, you'd have invited me to hobnob with the others so they know and understand just who they have on their side. Fill your allies with confidence and your courtships with temptation."
"Maybe. But you would not be the same person. Your life would have taken different paths. Perhaps not a path that led here to the top of the world."
"Ulfric, do you know what this tattoo means?"
"Iona... You made it clear that the nature of that brand was personal. And I do not wish-"
"It's Altmeri. It signifies two things. That I am a slave and the name of my owner. The upper tract and the lower tract respectively."
"Iona..."
"It's why I talk so differently. Why I lack most of the Elseweyran accent and cut of the jib. I spent half of my young adult life as the slave of an Aldmeri Lord Inquisitor. He stole my virtue, he stole my dignity and he stole my body. But he did not steal my will. Regardless... this was my life for years. Serving him and his guests in public and serving his appetites in private. Then one night, he went too far. He normally allowed me to keep some personal effects, like a scepter my parents gave me when I turned fifteen. But he... did things with it. And that was too much. I killed him with my bare hands and hid the body in the kitchen's largest cauldron. I cleaned myself, then fled. I lived off the land for months and learned out of all the territories in Tamriel, Skyrim had the least amount of Aldmeri who would want vengeance on me. I made it to the border, but they recognized me and imprisoned me, ready to execute me right alongside you..."
"I remember that day. I Almost half a year ago now... You never showed fear even as you were marched to your death. You kept your head up, staring down the High Elf presence..."
"It's funny... I've often wondered if I really did die that day and that everything I've experienced since then has just been my dying thoughts as my head settles into the basket, ready to be staked outside Helgen."
"I'm not a hallucination or dream of yours, Iona. I can promise you that."
"Regardless... I'm one damaged woman, Ulfric. And I think you recognize that..."
"Iona, I appreciate experience. And it doesn't matter to me if I will not be your first."
"You misunderstand me, my Jarl. I know better than to tell you to stay away... heh... we both know you're a man who will pursue what he desires with a hunter's cunning but a man's compassion to temper it. What I mean to say is... if you do choose to pursue me... I want you to want me for who I am. Not because you feel sorry for me."

Nae worries :) Another thing with anthros is that so much emotion is conveyed through the ears. Perky, flat, one up one down etc.
You've done a great job drawing Ulfric. I've seen a lot of furry artists who have really struggled to draw hooman faces. You are not one of them.
I guess a lot of it is down to practice. I don't draw myself but i am a complete art whore, so i've seen far too much art for my own good lol

I was thinking more along the lines of the thievery occurs in the background, couple pages later we see Drunk Breton burying it somberly. Maybe in between we see Galmar trying to get it back via Errol Flynn style swashbuckling, falls off something.
When they leave the party Ulfric asks what happened to his hat. He doesn't want to talk about it.
You know, funny background event.
