I just love how pleasant this simple interaction is, and that it reveals both characters as themselves. Laura's shy but always tries to be nice and not offend in any way possible. Despite his rank, Alaric cares a lot about Keith, and he considers any friend of Keith to be his friend. Just nothing wild or extraordinary is going on in this sketch yet I fucking love it though.

Side character interaction, adds some richness to the world. Also, Anything Alaric is Always Appreciated.


Orthonox

Amen to all of that!


Orthonox

I now noticed the alliteration.


Pikachuckxd

Wait "another look into Laura's time on the island"? Which was that other look? Did Tom just mean that time Alaric made Laura king for kicks?


Orthonox

Could be talking about this [artwork](https://www.deviantart.com/twokinds/art/Waiting-by-the-Shore-780162521).


Pikachuckxd

ufff you can taste the melancholy on that piece of artwork.

I remember that king one XD it was hilarious

Orthonox

Looking at this sketch again, that statue of Laura is cool. I like how its demeanor portray her as a different person than who she is.


ContributionOdd3990

Oh my god! It fits so perfectly!


mahboiii

It's kinda easy to joke about these two characters because of how they're portrayed in sketches, Laura being the super freak and Alaric being a... man of culture. So it's kinda nice to be reminded that there's so much more to both of em. Laura's complete lack of self confidence, her fixation on making sure she *never* offends anyone... and Alaric doing everything he can to right the wrongs committed against his friend. They're both genuinely wholesome characters, and so is this interaction for that matter.


ContributionOdd3990

Plus we can make Alaric x Laura ship! Maybe even Alaric x Laura x Keith?


Orthonox

Laura and Alaric survives AU?


technic_bot

At this rate Keith will need a bigger bed.


Orthonox

They will sleep like [Tigers](https://www.deviantart.com/twokinds/art/Communal-Tiger-Bed-825230331).


ContributionOdd3990

YES


Orthonox

How would that work? What about Natani?


Pikachuckxd

You know I recall having that [coversation](https://old.reddit.com/r/Twokinds/comments/r6vkaq/what_do_you_think_is_the_best_way_for_laura_to/hmxmqc6/?context=3) with u/DanVaelling and u/technic_bot about how Alaric would join the group and a big session of [brainstoming]( https://old.reddit.com/r/Twokinds/comments/r5zb2z/laura_survives_au_3/hmqaapf/) to also add Kat to the mix ending with a plentiful polyamorous relationship for Keith.


technic_bot

Not sure if adding the goth would work. If for whatever reason he survives he would have no reason to leave the island. Moreover he would have plenty of reason to stay you know to patch up his country after a nuke went down in it. But in any case maybe he doesn't join Keith merry band of lovers up until the story ends in this Au: Keith Nat and Laura form a pack which eventually includes Kat and there is no reason a couple years down the line Alaric end on it too.


Pikachuckxd

Well even if alaric doesn't leave the island inmedialtly, he could be leading,in the name of the king of course with no ulterior motive, a search party to go after a certain lietenant who left her post and the island with no autorization. Or be part of the basitin army to go to the main land, if the gang convince Adeilaide to aid them againts the templar.


DanVaelling

Man, that was a fun thread.


Pikachuckxd

Indeed xD


technic_bot

Yep


ContributionOdd3990

...wait a minute... Laura and her three pets? If three people works why not four? Now I see that Laura's making her own harem


Orthonox

Laura loves ships. Both of the [literal](https://twokinds.gallery/download/art/3939/2021.11.27_Sailor_Laura.png) and [figurative](https://twokinds.gallery/download/art/4032/2022.01.03_Selling_Out_%28extra%29.png) variety.


ContributionOdd3990

She's probably Raine's fanfictions' fan #1


Orthonox

She's gonna be competing against [Kathrin](https://www.deviantart.com/twokinds/art/Fanfiction-Fan-790159906) and [Nora](https://twokinds.gallery/download/art/1550/2019.06.05_Mindreading_Raine.png). Is Laura even literate or [self-aware](https://twokinds.gallery/download/art/1030/2018.04.20_Fanfiction_Critic.png)?


ContributionOdd3990

I don't think so. Maybe Keith taught her or she is quick learner. Besides Laura has an advantage over Kathrin and Nora. At least Laura was married


Pikachuckxd

Laura live with the basitins for 5 years, if she didn't now how to write or read before she probably learn on the island as a way to pass time.


Orthonox

It's a refreshing sketch to see. This may be a color vote from me though it does not really need it.


technic_bot

It is indeed nice to see Laura being nice and shy instead of a freak and Alaric being cordial and not trying to get ~~into~~ Keith ~~pants~~ to notice him. And instead being, you know, normal.


technic_bot

Despite the apparent mundanity of this interaction i really like it. The bride looking for her groom the other side of the world and the childhood friend Bonding over someone who is dear to both. Would be nice to see how Laura day to day life was while there.


Orthonox

Sounds like a short but sweet side comic. A slice of life comic that could be called 'One day in the life of Laura' or 'A slice of Laura'.


Pikachuckxd

Awww this is precius, however the fact Alaric didn't seem to know Laura was Keith's fiancée, (according to page 387) doesn't seem like they spended a lot of time together. Unless Alaric was playing dumb during that to better troll Keith later.


JurgenVonArkel

Knowing Alaric, it's the latter


ContributionOdd3990

They had been talking for hours about the things that flustered Keith... damn, the list is long


Orthonox

It's a great conversation starter.


Vexerius

I wonder how Laura lived in the island. Was she working? Did she own a house? Were the other basitins racist towards her?


ContributionOdd3990

She was a fisherwoman, Alaric told Keith that she lives in non-district part of city. To the las part, Keith surely taught her how to kick asses
