The only thing worse than awkward silence is an even more awkward conversation.
This week’s vote incentive is preview of a project that I’ve been putting off for a long time, but finally sat down the other day and started. It’s going to take a backseat to pretty much every other thing I’m working on for the comic, but nevertheless, I’m excited for it. It’s been far too long since I broke out my clay and paints and had some fun. :3

*Giggle* Didn’t think of her as sooo good with a snappy come-back! Good on you Kiva! I feel bad for Ten, tho’. I had to deal too much with that, till I got married. *sigh* Really, what business is it of theirs?
Great Page! Really like the third panel — Kiva trying to be grateful for the space he gave her. OOOoppps.
She kicks you when you’re up, Ten, why are you surprised when she kicks you when you’re down?!?
Although, it could be just pure social ineptness on Kiva’s part, rather than malice…
Love Ten’s reaction. And why does everyone jump to those assumptions? It actually affected a past relationship of mine, caused us to break up. It can get out of control sometimes.
Oh Kiva, way to make my fairly sad day a bit better.
It’s going to be interesting to see whether “chopsticks” are cultural, dependent upon the meal or universal. I expect they’re not the latter, judging by the various implements in the background of panel 1 in the previous strip.
It’s also interesting that Ten seems so naive but has the awareness to realise that, in all probability, everyone is now assuming him to be bisexual and “involved” with Jovi. Everyone that is, except for Jovi’s next-door-neighbour(s). :-J Mixed blessing.
Lots of spoons in Ten’s childhood. So chopsticks and spoons, I don’t remember a fork, yet.
It probably is one of those utensils that is designed for specific kinds of food, lke, soup spoons, salad forks, sea food forks, things like that. We have numerous eating utensils, they may have fewer, or, maybe the chop sticks are their forks. >.<
Hahaha Kiva, you are so good at being a friend. XD
It seemed so nice and innocent before! <.< Curse you Kiva!
Ha ha, see how pleasant* she is when she actually wants company?
*pleasant as defined by Kiva and is limited to actual conversation in a socially acceptable tone of voice (ie, not yelling) despite the conversation matter and does not include physical contact of any sort, whether it be kicking, punching, or holding hands
Haha I read that in the traditional “side effects may include” voice. XD
Oh god so did I. XD
