Winner by a nose!

And yes this is a d'aww! moment. I wonder if the coin is going to drop for Castel about the "widd'w pwant"?

Yes Castela- you were Atsali's security binkie, her playmate and her sister before you were articulate. Neither she nor you have any memory where the other wasn't there. Different species- one family.

Organically, yes. Developmentally, not so much. At this stage, Castela is still not quite sentient, I think... There have been many, many hints that she is developing at a different rate than the human baseline - for example, her "wise beyond her years" moments, of which there are several... And then that wacky growth spurt... Which, granted, may just be a result of the comic format and time skips, but still.

Probably when she hears - and it registers - Mama refer to the plant as Castela.

Which was in the November 2 comic. http://wapsisquare.com/comic/what-have-i-said/

That IS sweet.

You wonder how the MiB handled it when they got there. You also wonder where they are, and why the attackers have apparently given up. In one hour they could have - SHOULD have - gotten in...

It strikes me that this is one of those strips that you don't tell your friends to start with when diving into Wapsi Square for the first time...

It would require a lot of explanation . . .

I have a suspicion that they have been in a running battle with the MiBies. Yes, any defences can be broken down over time. But, if they don't have the time, then those defences are effectively impenetrable. These stuck me as mercenaries, not fanatics, so they are less likely to be willing to die for the cause.

Yeah. Trying to pass it off as a remake of "The Thorn Birds" probably wouldn't help.

Does Protector-Castela sense I'm-Not-Really-Here Castela? The way those two nasty thorns are pointing suggests she does.

===============

Was Castela in the Orphanage (unbeknown to Atsali OR herself) as a bodyguard for Atsali?

GlytchMeister · Post by **GlytchMeister** » Thu Nov 10, 2016 3:59 pm

I think the thorns are just pointed protectively outward at anything and everything right now.

oldmanmickey · Post by **oldmanmickey** » Thu Nov 10, 2016 4:37 pm

Also may be at some point deep down she remembers this or at lest has vague memories.

Like the Myster said, but I do also- "not Really".

In some ways Castela is a lot older than even Katherine...
