VDBiF 32 - Trauma

...Or lack thereof.

So Tyrian being out of his usual culture has noticed some things.  Like it's Not Okay to talk about eating people here on Earth.  In Fairyland, it's possible for anything and everything to talk, be it animal mineral or vegetable, so no-one really bothers about talking about eating people (although doing it right to their face if you're serious about it is considered very bad taste, but joking about it is okay).  Will has adjusted to the whole thing, but it's something he was (and is, with people he doesn't know) very nervous about - see  fav.me/d5tr7xy for an example...

Fairies usually encounter humans in Fairyland where they expect humans to adjust to fairy culture or far more likely, they have no damn idea they're being so insensitive and they wouldn't care anyway.  Tyrian does care, but he's never had such a close relationship with a human before, nor has he really been anywhere he's been pushed out of his comfort zone like this and had to adjust to another culture.  He's spent all week being told 'you can't talk about that, it makes people uncomfortable' (i.e: fav.me/d6u17gv )and now they're alone and what with the whole biting thing, he's finally able to talk about it without worrying about getting clobbered with a frying pan or something.  This is Will's way of reassuring him that he's not remotely uncomfortable or traumatised at all.

I am so so happy to get on with this finally~  Just a few more and I will be done with this arc X3  And then we can shove Tyr outside his comfort zone in entirely new ways.

Oh and I forgot to say... he's a little lightheaded from blood loss, and a bit tired (fun fact: Will's accent gets more American the more tired he gets...) but he knows exactly what he's doing.

This was actually going to happen in a different strip, called 'slow day' where Will had no ideas for jokes or routines, so he just plonked himself on Tyr's knee.  He takes his fooling very seriously.  But this is better cos now there are feels involved and stuff.
