Description GASP! Such a rare creature, self-reflection! ...Oh noes, it's gone again.
Personally I don't think shooting practise is a good enough reason.  
endeear , though it's not what he really meant to do, when you wrote about dinner I almost couldn't help myself from typing 'omg yes literally!'
I'm sorry I'm late, I'm on vacation so next page might be late as well

Cause he got used to her a bit  Also, finds himself in completely new situations where he has to think of what to do instead of applying a standard procedure.

By applying standard procedure, do you mean going for the speech? "Do not interfere in Thalmor's... Blah blah blah..."
The speech always works, we have seen it 😂

I mean all procedures Thalmors have for interacting with inferior races... But you're right, in his case rather speech than anything else  
Or just quiet stare from under the hood, not an official procedure but very reliable

Maybe we're all on crack here and hallucinating, because I saw that too... 
But maybe, just maybe, he can be a normal guy at times UwU

Hey glad to see I kinda guessed Poor Celia though... I hate to agree with him but tbh I'd like to see her snap or do anything except beg for scraps and wallow in self-pity. At least she got food but at what price? Not sure if he's shocked how improper he sounded for a supposedly superior Thalmor officer or the fact that what he said was hurtful...

Wilczomlecz In reply to endeear [2019-08-07 01:32:06 +0000 UTC]

Well, I agree about her. If she won't take some initiative herself, nobody will help her. That's partly why he treats her like that, he takes her submissiveness as cowardice and bootlicking. But don't worry, if he tries hard enough she will snap eventually... 
By both, he thought such low behavior doesn't fit Thalmor standards, and felt uneasy seeing the effect of what he said (also seeing how uncomfortably close to her he got).

Is that Maeranmar genuinely smiling on the bottom left panel?! Might it be the first time on all the comic so far in which he is smiling out of pure joy and not out of commitment or irony?
*rubs eyes in amazement* 😮

Wilczomlecz In reply to RikiiMarinedragon [2019-08-07 00:20:51 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm, he is kinda happy, but that's because he reminded himself visiting Imperials and pushing them around and enjoys his superiority.
Actually the closest we ever got to real smile was first panel in A Beast Behind, page 113 , when he was genuinely happy... for one second.
So we still have to wait for that big moment

Wow he actually has a shred of self criticizm sometimes. And Celia is just too much of a scaredycat. By now she should have noticed that Maeranmar is all talk. Killing a harmless bird, wow so badass. Celia, just kick him in the nuts finally. Ah but he gave her normal food at the end. He just had to flex a bit first, not to be seen as kind. We all have to take care of our reputation after all, now haven't we?

Told you he has some normal feelings She did notice he barks more than bites a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't even think of going anywhere near him, but she's still not sure what he's capable of. And still too timid to stand up to him, especially because she thinks he's rightfully angry at her. And the more meek she is, the more brash he becomes...
Actually he doesn't think it's badass to kill little birds, he just really wants to aim like a pro. And yes, reputation is priceless and must be protected at all costs~!

Ah, you wrote! I'm so happy! Pfh whatever would he do to her? He already likes her, he just didn't notice it yet. No, Maeranmar, I was just joking, please don't kil meaarghblargh...dies.

I'll always write back, sooner or later *looks around carefully, I don't want to die next* Honestly, if she showed she's not inimidated by him, he probably wouldn't know what to do XD Same as he doesn't know how he should treat her, or how he feels about her

Speaking about his feelings towards Celia, when will the story I requested appear? Good thing Maeranmar is a Thalmor, otherwise probably nobody would be afraid of him, and I don't know how he'd deal with the disappointment.

If he survives the Stormcloaks, shortly after. So not far in the plot, but since I upload just weekly I'm afraid it still may be long wait. But meanwhile I can make a nice drawing of one scene that will probably appear in it ^^
Oh my God, if he wasn't a Thalmor and people disrespected him even more he'd be devastated... On the other hand, he'd never move from Summerset, so maybe he'd feel no pressure to scare anyone.

Rienh In reply to Wilczomlecz [2019-08-08 04:30:03 +0000 UTC]

I'm rooting for him surviving the Stormcloaks then. I think if he wasn't a Thalmor, people would suddenly respect him more. Or not, if his attitude would be the same. But surrounded by other altmers he'd probably behave differently, because he is a huge coward.

Wilczomlecz In reply to Rienh [2019-08-09 00:06:15 +0000 UTC]

With other Altmers around he'd have less reasons to be upset, so he'd probably chill a bit and wouldn't be such an ass.
He's not a complete coward though, he did try to fight several times even though he could've avoided it. The effects weren't great, but still

He seemed to be pretty uncomfortable in the presence of other Thalmor agents though. I think if he is with others of the same status, meaning he can't feel himself to be superior to them, then he becomes tense. What is he without his superiority complex anyway? Just a regular altmer? That's nothing special.

Wilczomlecz In reply to Rienh [2019-08-09 11:54:54 +0000 UTC]

Actually he gets relaxed only with people of the same status around. Normally he'd be happy to see them... But by then he was hanging around with heretic who murdered other Thalmor agents, far away from his official destination, with money from official Thalmor enemy... And he knew his fate would be gruesome if they found out.
