Continuing the Emma And Ash sketchbook.

Concluding Chapter one : Following the pevious pic something shocking and confrontational happens between Emma and Ash ( i don't want to give away all twists and spoilers)

... and while they are both sort of in shock Emma's secretary and assistant Celemcott Walker arrives at Emma's office. ( The following events takes place off-camera, as it were : The guards had informed Walker of Ash's return as he had requested them to do seven years ago when he had to take care of Emma during her emotional collapse. Walker immediately went to Governor Dellins' office to try to have Ash ejected from town post haste. Dellins has other plans and instead renews Ash's pass from the previous governor on the condition that Ash perform a few services for him regarding the native unrest. This placates Walker in that Ash will have to go off with Dellins for awhile, leaving Emma alone.) So Walker arrives with the new pass explaining the conditions. A few minutes later Dellins himself arrives (with more guards) informing Ash that he is to come with him as they have much to talk about and that Emma and Walker will take good care of Teesha in the meantime.

So.......this page isn't quite finished as another character was supposed to be in that upper left blank panel. Also i just realized while doing the digi clean-up on this tonight that there is a bit of Alicia Austin influence on this pic, and some elements of her influence throughout the series.( Old time furs will remember her from the founding years of the fandom she and Terrie Smith were co-guests of honor at ConFurence V in '94 .)

...and i don't have a date on this...pencil could be circa '08 ??? with trad ink being finished in '16.
