"Was it something I said?"

Following some estimates of Nei'chelle's actions should she spot Gadas in the yard, he decides he's heard enough and beats a hasty exit to the gate. Tanya, being well aware of what Nei'chelle is capable of (or at least what she thinks she's capable of) doesn't blame him for excusing himself, although it's not for the reason she thinks.

Some minor artistic tweaks include a change in the way I rendered highlights in Tanya's hair, and hey, I showed her from behind, something I rarely do. Applying shading to the "grass" texture beneath the table and seat was an afterthought, although I should have extended some of the grass around their feet like I did the legs of the stool. Oh well, live and learn. I've decided to start shading the characters' eyes with an airbrushed black shadow rather than simply darkening a section of the iris. It seems to look more three-dimensional with this tactic.
