You have a right. It's gorgeous, and I love the way you've kept the essence of the story but changed it so it's your own here. The personalities of the characters show through so well--Taran cares about Eilonwy, but he really wants to see that sword, too! The details you added are great. The dirt, the blood. Is that some stubble on Fflewddur? They've been running a full day and night by now. Well done. And thank you! :)

Thank you dear! I love how you notice the details. Yep, Fflewddur's sporting some growth; realistically he should have more, but let's pretend he'd just shaved the morning before Achren tossed him in the dungeon. XD
It's somewhat challenging to show exactly how much time passes while they are traveling; counting up actual days revealed in the text makes it seem like only a week or so, but this does not seem very plausible, even if they save significant time by cutting through the Fair Folk realm. Not sure how I'm going to show it all! But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Oh my gosh I love this page! The colors of the first panel are just gorgeous! And Fflewddur is so fatherly and adorable!

Second what Odd May said about the sunrise colors -- that background is lovely. Sleepy Eilonwy is adorable, and Fflewddur's obvious affection for her reminds me of your double drabble "Almost" on FFNet. The guys' expressions in the last panel are great, too. Poor Taran just can't catch a break, even if he was just trying to make her more comfortable in this case. Should've listened to the bard -- a Fflam is prudent, at least about some things. ;-)

Yes I had that drabble in mind here! From a practical point Fflewddur is the only one strong enough to pick her up, but it did make for a good little insight moment into his character.
I can't decide if Taran's motivations are truly purely altruistic here. I think he's mostly concerned about her comfort, but it still is a pretty convenient excuse for getting his hands on the sword. Lucky for him that E isn't quite as far gone as she seems. And this whole paragraph is, I think, exactly what's running through Fflewddur's head at the moment.
