you have no idea how much i want to post the next page. also instead of 'pivotal' i originally had written 'pivotable' because my brain is mush. got pivot tables on my mind i guess.
additionally, spelling pivotal is awkward because i do say it like pivit.
also hey look, my friend Shizamura is holding a crowdfunding camaign for the 4th O Sarilho book! So go back it because i do need that book.

TRANSCRIPT:
panel 1: the throne room door shuts behind Bon. He looks back at it as Marek starts talking. Marek (off-screen): "Hana has spoken very highly of you, basbeo." Bon looks at Marek with a frown and a pout. Marek continues (off-screen): "he seems to be quite enamored with you."
panel 2: Marek shrugs dismissively. Marek: "he's set on the notion that you are SUFFERING and MUST be released." Marek looks at Bon sternly. Marek: "even after explaining the particulars of your... situation." He smiles and shrugs. Marek: "You must know as well as I that he is just stubborn like that."
panel 3: Marek continues (off-screen): "which is why I asked to speak with you-" Bon looks at him more quizzically than frowny.
panel 4: Marek sits on his weird little throne chair and gestures to Bon. Marek: "You may be able to get him to see reason where we were unable to."
panel 5: Bon is patiently listening to Marek, who continues: "he has been given a pivotal role on a very important project. and his reluctance to cooperate has put him in a dangerous position." Bon frowns at this, but still remains silent, just listening.
panel 6: Marek touches a hand to his heart to show JUST how honest and sincere he is being. Marek: "So all I am asking you to do is to convince Hana to cooperate with the crown, for his own sake.." He holds a hand up. Marek: "I will not ask you to do this without compensation, of course."
