With Miguel and now Tenma, I feel like I'm getting some decent practice at writing characters who don't speak perfect English. I resisted the urge to write them with "cuh-razy aksenstz" and instead tried to work it in through subtle things like screwing up American idioms and using less contractions than one normally would. Hopefully it's coming across well enough.
Speaking of dialog, is it clear that Elianna is replying in panel two? I found myself in one of those nightmare scenarios where the character on the right simply had to speak first, and I didn't want an obnoxious word balloon tail stretching all over the panel to reach Elianna. Let me know what you think if you would.
Meanwhile this whole chapter is about to wrap next week. In an effort to keep the narrative more focused, I'm toying with the idea of having a "star" of every chapter. Meaning while I may check in on others as well, there's one character that I keep coming back to. Elianna was the star of this chapter, and I think it went pretty well. As of now my plan for the next chapter is to star Casey and Abbey. :)
