Oh lawd, give all the hugs!

Now I'm curious on how Chili goes from wanting to be a healer, to growing chilli peppers that can melt steel

Oh Hai Noobmister.

That's in her blood! :D

You'd be surprised at how many health benefits capsiacin (the stuff that makes hot peppers hot) has. Used right, it can even dull pain (yes, really).

Maaanm She's such a good mother. She explains what was wrong with her actions, but praises her intent. Would be nice if more real-life parents followed that example.

these days it's always either ignoring them, let them do whatever they want, or beat the crap out of them. >_>

This. Respect for the parents that are deeply involved with their child!

Boy, wonder how "the talk" went between her and Chili's teacher? 8o

Chili barely dodged a bullet right there.

God all thes characters are so sweet ;w; They are so easy to love <3

Chili has every reason to run away when a selfish teacher blames the student for not doing right, when she should've understood Chili needed extra guidence. The only note I'd leave is a Fuck You and go. (Excellent page btw! Your pacing and body language is amazing as always!)

i think something like that did happen. although, it was on a wall rather then a note. lol

I want to see that conversation with her teacher. "You made that sweet child think herself worthless!" says the angry Tree with storm clouds and lightning.

Oh how i love how Luna shows Chili that her intention was the problem was not the problem. Only the fact that she still needs to learn a lot and gather some experience was the problem.

Wow...I'd like to offer tutelage as an apothecary, I was trained. And my master was colorblind.
He taught me how to identify certain leaves, by base appearance of the leaf, smell and by the stem appearance
(So many times I had to stop people planting poison ivy, when they thought it was Box Elder or Boston Ivy) and when we needed to tell the difference quickly
he had an obsidian glass monocle. Turns out if in a hurry, several leaves will have a sheen or shine that shows under the glass

Now that, is awesome. I didn't know you could see that with an obsidian monocle, but it's crazy that it helped him that much! Especially a flex with him being colorblind, it makes me wonder who his teacher was and what they did to help him become such a positive influence in his field.

He was from Russia. Moved to USA, with his family after world war 1. He lived around Oregon and he never spoke much about his master. He mentioned he was terrified of her. Everyone called her a witch and she acted like one. His mother demanded he learn from her. As for the monocle. Something about level of UV absorption. Caused poisonous plants to shine when looking through it. Poison Oak and Ivy, being the easiest examples

I met him at a renfaire when I was 7 and was fascinated by him. Something told me, he was safe and he was wise. So he taught me and I learned with earnest. Sadly, he passed away about ten years go. So I couldn't complete training to become a fully recognized apothecary, so now I just occasionally gather herbs. It's irritating when you're pulling soft bark off a willow and people ask you "Why don't you just buy the aspirin instead of making it?"

i always thought chilli was like a leaf creature. but no apparently she's fluffy

Mother : empathy and kindness
Teacher : Explosiveness and brashness

Now Im curious of how that convo between the tree and the teacher went e3e/

Chili is breaking my heart, holy shit. I love these comics so much.

Mama Luna cares so much for Chili ;w; <3

now i really wanna hug her ;__;

I really like the interaction between Luna and Chili because of the way the first explains things to the second about what happened in order to make her (Chili) understand that it is not too late to recover and be better the next time.

*urge to hug has reached over 9000!!!!*

Poke the sad Chili

D'aww the way she grabs her ear thingy <3

methinks chili SHOULD have run away, what was she supposed to do?? Stand and let her teacher call her a murderer???? she's a kid!!

You're so good at making engaging and portraying emotion! plus the colors are so pretty, and the flow is wonderful too!

Very nice, I love it!

Thank you for the huge compliment! :D I spend a LOT of time to figuring out the flow nd tha pacing.

Yup. Chili ain't goin nowhere.

I love the childlike actions of Mira, poking and touching something new to her as she examines it.

And in addition to these, it also means that she's very direct and friendly with others ^^ I'm happy you noticed it!

Trying her best with dialogues xD

sadness aside, Chili's head is small enough to be a basketball for the mother
