Well, my grandmothers both lived in the same small town in Germany and I didn’t know everyone there. And I visited them each summer vacation for a month. But they seem to know me when I last visited about ten years after their death.
What Kai’s neglecting to point out is that he’s a very social person and spent most of his formative years surrounded by @$$#013s. He has had a LOT more reasons to make friends with everyone in his grandparents’ hometown than his own.
it is wonderful, not very often you get to date a cat 🙂
!!!

I date my brother’s cat at about 12 years. 😛
Kai’s gone to pot
and he’s taken his date;
to see if gloves can evade
the obvious fate…
He knows everyone
year out and year in.
This is a small village,
not Rome or Turin.
What’s new in their day?
A pot to arrange?
Won’t her parents
think it quite strange?
I’ve tried throwing a bowl on a wheel. I’m better at the pinch pot method. They don’t look as good, but I can actually get it into the shape and size I want without it collapsing back into a pile of clay. Unfortunately I don’t have access to a kiln at the moment. I had a certain glaze I loved using called “floating blue” that was supposed to cook brown with patches of blue in it, but whenever I put it in a bowl or pot and I got a solid brown outside with a turquoise waterfall looking pattern on the inside.
Wet clay, pretty dress, I hope Serena has a spare apron for Near!
“Look at THAT! White [dress], black [clay].”
“That’s what being fearless is all about!”
I wonder if the theme of this whole date is going to be Near wanting to do stuff that her outfit is too fancy for XD
Wet clay, fluffy fur.
Ok. Kai is channeling Patrick Swayze, and Near is Demi Moore. This date just got a lot more interesting.
Could fun to hear someone refer to Kai and Kaya as a dragon from Italian lore as a joke, or how they both only show some of the properties of said dragon.
Robin’s probably going to do some research that now, if they weren’t already.
With how everything is going so far, along with the translating dragon, this’ll be a date to remember for both Near and Kai.
How many people live in this town? And will we learn its name? Does it have one?
I wonder how close Kai is to reaching Dunbar’s Number… Near should put on an apron if she wants to try her paw at pottery, don’t want any stray globs of clay to get on her pretty dress or her fur. By the end of the day, the whole town may know about Kai and Near’s date whether from seeing it, being called by Annabella, or hearing it through the grapevine. When will we see Kaya? Is she also helping Annabella’s plot from the shadows?
I looked up what that was, as an introvert I don’t think I could even name 50 people that I know.
There’s no real consensus on the exact number of connections in Dunbar’s number. The highest I’ve seen it estimated at is 200, but personally I think that’s way too high
Dunbar’s number is one of those things I discover every so often and then forget about before discovering it again. Personally, I feel like that entire premise is operating under the assumption that all humans’ minds work the same way, which is blatantly untrue. A “personal” Dunbar’s number makes a LOT more sense than a Dunbar’s number for humanity as a whole.
Panel 1: I don’t suppose you could add a comma to “you”?
English grammar doesn’t require the use of so many commas. It’s a matter of individual style… You may prefer more, the author may prefer fewer…
There’s a useful guideline you can use. Try saying it out loud and if you can hear a little pause in your speech, you may need a comma. For example, try saying “I’ll send it to you as well” and then say “I’ll send it to you if you want it”. When I do this I can hear myself make a little pause between “you” and “if” in the second example. So that might want a comma. But I don’t make any pause between “you” and “as” in the first.
Back in the 1950s the BBC had short interval films between programmes, one of which was a potter working some clay on a wheel. I don’t think his face was ever shown, just his hands, and I don’t think anyone ever figured out what the finished product was supposed to be!
Growing up, my Dad was 1 of the best Bus Mechanics the local depot had. And basically everyone in the depot knew everyone else & their families. I didn’t know them all, but all the Staff knew us. That meant I got many free trips that I shouldn’t really have had, but also that basically every bus was also a spy for my Dad.
Once accidentally rode my bike for around a kilometre without my helmet coming home from High School before getting off and walking it back, but it was too late – my Dad asked about it that night, had to give a full explanation….
The upsides and downsides of “everyone knows everyone else” situations….
Aside from doing pottery, I wonder if Kai will get show of his dragon breath by starting a fire in the kiln.
That would be neat!
