Lot of Ramzi x everybody this chapter! He furthers Osric's and Basil's character development through spending time with them so I'm glad. This book is prominently about O and B, and next one I've planned to be about Ramzi and Xerxes. There's some retconning to be done about Ramzi's past, since his origin story is now non-canon. It will still align with what was said in Ace of Beasts #1 for consistency.
Page count has been upped to 90 for this book, for romance and character development.
Page notes: the debut of Xerxes' short hairstyle lol. It seems to suit him more.
I'm pretty happy with the top right panel of Osric and Ramzi! Kisses sometimes look like both people are either smooshed or too far away but actually getting a nice balance is satisfying.
Since there is a lot of thought bubbles / talking, the background is going to be toned down for the sake of eye fatigue and to minimize clutter.
There's a scene coming up where Basil asks them how they take Xerxes' cock so easily lmao. Because even though he's the oldest, Xerxes is still daddy and apparently packing Leviathan so they uh share tips LMAO
