Thank you so much! I have to keep coming up with ways to depict night scenes so they don't get boring!

Lovely scene in the last panel, although why do I feel like that bird is a spy? Maybe it's just me being paranoid

Aww thank you!! Hahah well that's the problem with supernatural stories - everything starts being a potential vampire!

Sebastian's thoughts exactly!

Oh man, Sebastian looks so annoyed in the first frame haha
I feel for him

He really was! Such bad timing!

I feel like they won't have the chance to talk later.

Rats. Nothing like missing the right moment. 'It isn't really' ....Sounds like someone has said more than he meant to.
Great last panel- the sparrow standing in for Athena's owl ?

Indeed! I imagine Sebastian is good at encouraging people to talk and sometimes they say more than they originally intended to. Folquet certainly has, especially that, in general, he doesn't have great trust for religious institutions and their representatives.

Ah, well spotted! Yes, the fact that the Hospitallers actually accept Night Brothers is already a sign for Folquet that perhaps opening up here is not that dangerous for him. Though, to be fair, he also has a certain suspicion about vampires IN a religious institution. Not vampires being Christian, mind you, but being in the ranks of the institution. As will be shown in the next chapters, Folquet has...unusual...friends and has a connection to Catharism (though he is not a Cathar himself). So his anxiousness is definitely not out of the blue....

That said a religious institution that doesn’t damn vampires for their physical state should show some increased open-mindedness seeing as I would imagine some other people might try to justify crimes against them by their faith.

Exactly! To be honest, Folquet finds the existence of Night Brothers among Hospitallers and Templars surprising (in a positive way) and rather fascinating. I will be trying to show, throughout the comic, that there are very varied reactions to this fact among vampires, ranging from appreciation to downright contempt! People’s attitudes can be so different!

Nice sparrow! I love all the setting your pages have, it really grounds the story well. This whole venture has just been a pleasure to look at, I hope you know, it's very good. There's not a lot going on in this page, but I can still appreciate it.
I love Seb's "really?" face in the first panel there.

It was supposed to be a nightingale :sweat: I need to polish up my bird-drawing skills! 
I'm glad you think so. I know this page is slow, but some pages just have to slow down, you know?
Heh, it's rare that someone gets on Seb's nerves...but Borja managed!

Nah, it’s more likely my bird identifying skills that needs that polish. 
I agree, good stories need to ebb and flow. I don’t like everyone’s tendency to just shove as much action in as possible. Let the narrative breathe once and awhile.
Your story does this quite well

The nightingale in the last panel is indeed a lovely addition - great work! I hope this 'later' will not be too late - I still want to find out who tried to kill Folquet! OR perhaps, we will find out some other way? It is great to see how the story develops

I'm so glad you like it. I felt like I want something quaint and insignificant looking over the 'grand scheme of things'

Some people have plot-amour and some people get plot-blocked there is something for everyone 😇
But I‘m curious how things will turned out with that lute 🤔🙃
