We were given new cups when we moved, but they’re not cups. They’re barrels. “Would you like a barrel of Earl Grey?” “Yes please. Add a hive of honey and a cow of milk as well, please.”

As someone who starts each day with a small bucket of tea, I now have mug envy. (Not just because of the logo - that also looks really nice to drink out of. Good shape, and it looks thick enough to hold heat as well.)

I am faintly horrified at the idea of putting milk in Earl Grey however.

It takes a lot of fuel to wrangle a Dread Wolf.

Seeing as how you are ex ... X-Men ... people

any news on Chris Claremont? I hear he wants to have another run at them.

Also, really happy to have you here. Always a good thing to have someone in the creative process involved. As for the DA comics, what cameos can we expect? Any other DA2 squad members? Or is that a surprise?

We don't keep up with the X-Men all that closely these days. We met Claremont back when we were on the books - we had a signing with him at SDCC. Very nice to us.

As for cameos, we don't have a ton in this mini, because Fenris is getting the full co-lead treatment. He's not a cameo - the miniseries is about Francesca and Fenris, mostly, with a big role for Vaea (and a lot of panel time and cool character choices for Autumn).

Aaand looking forward to this even more, now. lol

Just a fair warning - it starts from her perspective, so it takes a while to encounter him. Once he shows up, he's just as important as she is.

That’s good to hear. (Likes Francesca more than Fenris)

Don't worry. The plot summary gave that impression.

As someone who starts each day with a small bucket of tea, I now have mug envy. (Not just because of the logo - that also looks really nice to drink out of. Good shape, and it looks thick enough to hold heat as well.)

I am faintly horrified at the idea of putting milk in Earl Grey however.

Masala chai on the other hand...

Also... that BW mug looks to be about 1/2 to 3/4 the size of my largest mug :lol:

honey and steamed milk in Earl Grey is better than you’d think. It’s called a London Fog at one of my local coffee shops.

does this chain mail have a forward link?

Where does the name "Blue Wraith" come from? - aside from the obvious Lyrium and passing through stuff.
Why not name him after his skill?, Lyrium Ghost/Lyrium Specter.

Maybe that's the solution. Just keep throwing tea at him until he submits.

Probably cus its a nickname given by those who've managed to somehow survive an encounter with him and they know pretty much nothing about him other than what they glimpsed as they ran.

"There was a just a blue glow and next thing I see, he comes flying through the wall and cleaves Janus in half! I barely got out of there alive!"

"Yeah, yeah, sure you did."

"He's a wraith, I tell you! It ain't natural!"

"We believe you..."

^ How I picture the start of the rumors about Fenris went down in some border tavern somewhere that a bunch of slavers frequent.
