Excellent job on Jonan in panel 7; the expression on his face combined with his hand over his bloodied mouth looks perfect.

I'm amazed Jonan actually never thought of this before. I suppose if he's really that unaware of how the human body works, he might also not realize that the nose hole CAN be used to access the stomach via tubes. Then again, they didn't have plastic back then anyway, so that still creates complications.

It's really interesting seeing Jonan so freaked out, just because, for the most part, he's been the type to keep his cool. Except when he was being almost eaten by the aberrant. You seem to enjoy putting Jonan in situations where his natural state of aloofness is totally and utterly ripped out from under him. (I highly approve. :D)

I wonder if later, when he's managed to get himself out of horrible danger, he'll actually be worried about all of the people he may or may not have killed?

Ahhhh thank you!

re: nasogastric intubation etc -- it may be bad form to address this in the comments, but I'm just gonna say that no matter how much he does or does not know that it's possible, Jonan definitely does not have this stuff lying around in his home, nor is he well-versed in any of these medical practices. xD Dammit Jim, he is a runewriting healer, not a doctor.

(I think this whole chapter is basically Jonan's Awful, Terrible, No-Good Very Bad Day).

Welcome!

XD; Okay, fair point. But doggonit, there's gotta be SOME way to get water into the man! It does rather present a problem though, doesn't it.

IT SO IS. (Also huzzah for amazing old children's books.)

Oh, sudden crazy idea: what about an water elementalist? Ah, too bad that the one in town can only do earth. But actually, there might be some sort of "rehydration" spell, right?
