Manners

Incredible work!

Now i am wondering if O`Shen is serious about being her friend or if he just said that to placate Mara, also it is cool that he warns her about the dangers of the other less "xenophilic" Tau for that concept is seldom explored in the lore. (Currently laughing at the fact Mara does her best to not study, she is like a spoiled child)

Well Done. Do you still post to tumblr?

Does this mean Mara full name should be something like Shas‘La Gue'Vesa M'ara if she tried to have one or am I misunderstanding something?

I want him to pat my head.

I love that you included the hand signs thing. T'au communication is very subtle, and small gestures convey a lot. Great details on this one!

Thank you for my daily Tau lessons

This was very interesting. The chalkboard appearing is the Tau’Va’s gift to O’Shen of course.

I can really tell that you worked hard on this one. It's excellent.

That's sweet... in a racist, patronizing kind of way.

Awesome comic as well. And I like how you show how not all T’au are really accepting of humans because of their reputation and also the Imperium too. In addition, I like how the manners are based on southeast Asian cultures where you have to address people older than you or with higher rank with their titles and rank. Something respecting your superiors and elderly. And you can only say their name in a casual manner if you’re friends with them or close to them.

I'd say "Tau aren't beating the weeb accusations," but people forget the Eldar *literally* have a weapon called "the Shuriken cannon," and their walkers are legally distinct EVA units.

Love it :) We're spoilt! Several pages in one go and they feel even more polished (dialogue, colouring, etc.) than usual. If I recall correctly, it's quite rare that Mara adresses other Taus by their name in dialogue. Subtle change but it makes me relate even more. Thanks for the lovely comics

I love how due to the precedent of your comics showing the T'au's darker side I genuinely can't tell if O'shen is being genuine or if he's just subtly furthering the eventual, total assimilation of gue'vesa into the empire. Hell, it may well be both! Edit: I was gonna say cultural genocide of gue'vesa but given kroot and Vespid seem to retain their cultures (if somewhat changed) I don't think thats in the cards necessarily

“I am civilized”, love that image. Proud Mara is awesome. Also I love how se wanted to hear that they’re friends. Mara just needs a hug.
