Shiver
Just like running a finger over the back someone’s neck, the tail area has a chance to make you shiver.
Kaya having an argument with her doctor over chocolate. Who saw this one coming? xD
——————————
When writing the dialogue of this page, I came up with a freelance rap that Kaya (Who IS a Utube singer, after all) could be doing at this very moment. It ended up being too much dialogue for the pages to carry, and I would have needed to redraw the second panel to be able to put it in. But here it is:
Kaya:
I’m not fat
My tummy is flat!
I can eat all the chocolate I want
It’s even healthy at that.
Right, doctor fern?
We need 5cc of answer, stat!
Fern:
It’s indeed healthy-
Kaya:
See, Kai? Don’t be a hater?
You can go ahead and eat a tater.

Chocolate is serious business! and tails are very sensitive, good to know ^^
Oh come on, now, Kaya,
listen to what’s said.
She’s just trying t’ help you
with the life that’s ahead.
Chocolate is your friend
but it ain’t the’ only one;
excessive consumption
can cut down on your fun.
So listen to the voice
that’s worse than your mother;
I say it here‘n now…
Listen to your Brother!
Cold hands on a tail.
The curious rush of sense
brings Kai to freeze frame.
…making him tense.
Which could be a drawback on the court.
Great works, as always!
Are the tails prehensile, as in, can they catch stuff with them?
Kai has intercepted a basketball with his tail before. That is as close we’ve seen to them catching things with their tails though.
Actually they have carried small things with their tails in chapter 6 and in gamer dragons and the question and answer
Tail a little sensitive Kai? Would have been a great opportunity for a “Cold Hands!” comment from Kai!
Nice little rap there in the description Robin!
The flat-abbed brat blasts phat-ass raps.
I dunno that Kaya is more sensitive about chocolate or Kai about his tail XD
Well , the best to measure a tail is to ask to Kai to sit on the corner of a bed then make him put his tail all right on
The watermark has invaded Kai’s speech bubble. The attacker must be repelled!
I like how Kaya’s ears shift with her emotions.
I thought they’d be higher for that moment, but then again I can’t tell why I think that so maybe it’s just my brain being weird
The bottom-left panel of Jesse’s Adventure looks like the cat at dinner table meme
Hehehehe.
Are you a Patreon?
Nudge nudge wink wink.
Looking again, I hope it’s just that ridge on top of his tail that is sensitive like that. Remember he’s on the basketball team which means a lot of bumps and contact (though thankfully not the kind of contact he would get with American Football). In fact that long tail of his could make for a nice short story arc featuring Kai training with Rex learning how to keep from drawing unintentional contact and fouls thanks to that long tail of his.
Tail sensitivity is pretty normal among animals,but usually not in a painful way. If it’s anything like lizards it will just cause shivers if done unexpectedly when there is not much else going on. He probably wouldn’t even feel it during basketball if he was really focused. He’ll probably end up with advantages instead if he can master the trick he used against Rex earlier in the comic instead of disadvantages from getting fouled or fouling by accident, but it can still lead to interesting story arks!
I like how Kaya is specific about which part of her is flat. If anime has taught me anything, it’s that you can get in trouble for mentioning the flatness of anything else…
Kaya does seem rather offended about being thought of as fat… but I’m not sure if that’s because of her own image, or because she doesn’t want anyone insulting chocolate…
She likes chocolate and doesn’t want to hear that she might need to eat less :p
Not that she has to. Her figure is perfectly fine xD
The twins should not have any problems with their weight.
Both are physically active, Kai more so.
Their father is a chef so family meals will be freshly cooked, not frozen and nuked.
Even burgers or pizza are health if prepared fresh from scratch.
A teenagers metabalism is running so fast, that the occasional fast food meal is quickly burnt through.
The current problem with childhood obesity is caused mainly by a sedentary lifestyle and bad diet.
yeah, good point on that. Modern day convenience isn’t always a good thing :p
Hey Robin, did you forget the newsletter this week, or is it just something going wrong for me?
Hey there 🙂
It’s send out using mailchimp. It’s automated and sometimes it has to wait in queue until it can get send out. It should arrive soon, though.
…smile!… I have a story character named “Shiver”. 🙂
Panel 3: Kaya’s really got her tail up over that one, Doc!
Doctor Fern is amused. 🙂
Cool! is it a character that shivers a lot? :p
Kaya should be careful not to have her tail up too much. She’s not wearing pants xD
The main reason kai feels a shiver up his spine. Is cause the doctor touch kai spine in his tail. since tails don’t have any organs blocking straight path to the spine the nerves carrying the aching signals do not have a fast enough way to the brain with without using the spine. So when any pain aching or pain they both go in the same path. Also I’m going to change my username cause I just realised the Toby isn’t a good username cause people might target some else because they thought they were me
This is going to be my new username for now
Well, hello there.
Wait did you just notice me or are saying hello to the new me
If you are saying hello to the new me(changing into cyber-dragon21 and changing voice to cyborg voice) hi welsh rat nice to eat i mean meat you I have 2 questions if you don’t mind 1: how do you write poems so quickly and so good? 2: how did a rat get ahold a device that can access this site?(no offence)
No offence taken.
1. Just a skill I have from somewhere. I often think they’d be much worse if I had an hour…
2. You’d be surprised how many geniuses leave things lying around that can open portals. Owain from Ozy and Millie, Doc from the Whiteboard, Doctor Amesworth, Florence Ambrose, Doctor Bowman, Doctor Mel (from Brewster Rockit)…
what was your previous username? :p
Edit: Oh, nevermind, just read your other comment.
Kai looks really surprised about that shiver. That’s odd. We’ve seen him use his tail for balance before, and he’s had it for his whole life. You’d think that both twins would be well aware of the sensitivity of tails by now. Then again, I suppose that they aren’t regularly having people grab them. Anyone else think that grabbing a dragon’s tail without prior warning would get you set on fire? It’s worse than Benji’s mask. Regardless of the reason, it’s a good touch of realism, Robin, and the art is spot-on. I just love Kai’s surprised expression! Keep up the good work, and as always, stay awesome!
Thank you, Alpha 😀
It’s like when someone runs a finger over the back of your neck. It’s an involuntary reaction :p
Also, it might not get you set on fire right away, but you’ll be warned, I would think xD
Depends on the dragon.
Kaya: “I’m not fat! My tummy is flat!”
Me: What the hell? Does Kaya think she’s Shaggy in Scooby Doo? Because unless all that weight can disappear in the next scene she should stop acting like she’s a cartoon character.
Teenagers believe themselves invincible, don’t they?
Heya again, my grouchy friend!
She just doesn’t want to be told she should eat less chocolate xD
If the shiver originated from his tail then wouldn’t it be a shiver up his spine?
probably, but the result is about the same xD
Oh, Kaya. You never cease to make me laugh.
This seems overly fun for a medical checkup, but I’m not complaining. 😉
Note to self: resist from/don’t touch/stroke dragon tails. It makes them shiver. XD
Better for it to be fun than not, right :p
The shiver is kind of like when someone runs a finger over the back of your neck, so not a big problem :p
