Really?

Well...at least they're not fighting.

Okay, I have learned a few things from this latest page.

One: It's funny,

Two: At least Gil and Tarvek aren't trying to blow a hole through each other anymore and are actually cooperating...to a point,

Three: Even in Paris, I can see that Gil was putting up a front that he was just another dumb player-nice, and finally-

Four: Tarvek just loves to bring Gil down in any way he can (last panel) XD.--Master 3x3lcior 07:06, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, great dialogue! You know, I'm getting the impression that Tarvek is actually smarter than Gil. Looking back over the last few pages, you can see him realising the meaning of the story while Gil was looking bored. He isn't surprised by the discovery that the Baron is still alive because he already knows from the story that he's been "wasped". He sees the need to get Gil away from the Baron (so that he won't get wasped too) while Gil is still saying he'll stay. And finally, just guessing, but I think Tarkek understands more from the story than he's yet admitted: he started that fight with the punch (risking his own life) to "change the subject" and stop Gil from thinking more about it too.

Cue heartwarming music sting? —jdreyfuss 13:21, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

My take is that Tarvek always compliments Gil with his left hand. If you read the last panel carefully you will see Tarvek has just admitted Gil successfully outwitted him. And Tarvek awards Gil "Well done" points. Gil's reaction is due to other teasing he has gotten about his luck with the ladies. Apparently this deception while serving him well in Paris hasn't served him well since.

When Tarvek said "But we were--" did anyone else get the impression that he was about to say "--friends!" before he changed his mind? (They were friends as children, which is why they were in the vault together.) ~Mysteria Femina~ (talkAvatar wall) 01:33, February 18, 2012 (UTC)
