My theory is that everyone started gossiping that Kat was "a gay" because of her weird hipster haircut!

It would not be that gentle of a curve. And there is already a staggering volume of porn depicting the two. I know there was one that was created sometime between Kat getting the love letter and Paz asking her out. So, well done, random porn artist. I am worried as to how you know about that. Where does one even find out about stuff like that? Do you really need me to answer that? |

Just noticed how Rey's popping into large wolf form while Kat's foot was still there almost knocked her backwards XD have the omniscient POV we the readers have. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Is our prediction accuracy rate up into the single-digit percentages yet? Or is it still in tenths of a percent? ;P |

I thought Kat would have trouble telling Annie because she felt awkward about it not that she didn't know how Annie would react to it.

Well, it's been in development for a couple of years now, albeit in a pretty subtle manner. Kat slowly stopped talking about boys or birds, when you'd think that going through puberty would add to her interest. Then there was that party and little misunderstanding with Paz, and ever since Kat has been decidedly uncomfortable about all things involving romance and public closeness with Annie. Plenty of people did count 2+2, though I don't think that anyone expected Paz to be Kat's closet key. On the contrary, I think a lot of people expected Paz would be the eventual subject of affection, although most of us didn't expect Paz to be the one to make the first move! And on the fire elemental's "need to reproduce". Erm, maybe you need a refresher course in reproduction and evolution? What evolution? Elementals are supernatural, so they only evolve in the minds of people. As Lightice stated earlier "there can only be one" so you could maybe better compare them to phoenixes then to people. We don't know that yet; it might well be that there is no choice for fire elementals, they may be hard-wired to reproduce (or maybe actually rejuvenate) . On the other hand Tony might still be successful in removing or changing the elemental part. Whatever, I'm enjoying this story immensely, and this forum and the sometimes fiery discussions of this work of fiction are a bonus. |

I wonder if Surma could have (theoretically) had a second child in the time after Annie was born but before she died. Would the fire-elemental-ness have been diluted between two offspring? Well, the 'flame' went on from Surma to Annie; since Surma not even survived that process I think there's simply no flame left for the hypothetical second child. Or, having to feed it two children, she would have died faster, and there's no way to tell if the flame is sufficient for two persons. For the problems with lineage: Nature surely didn't provide for the possibility of mating humans and fire elementals. There are quirks and flaws to a union like that. Also fire elementals are beings of aether. Most hybrids of natural beings (say, horse and donkey, lion and tiger) are even sterile. Yeah, mules and ligers are sterile. Hmmm... maybe Annie wouldn't be able to have kids. Who knows? |

Hmmm... maybe Annie wouldn't be able to have kids. Who knows? Well, her mother was fertile, and she was not entirely human nor entirely elemental, implying normal biological rules don't apply. However, something could happen if Tony has been mucking around with things, as people have suggested. |

Here, take a closer look: i.imgur.com/yaRzCaU.jpg |

Buried? I'd expect it to be reduced to ashes.
For that matter, there should be flames, not lightnings.

Yeah, mules and ligers are sterile. Hmmm... maybe Annie wouldn't be able to have kids. Who knows? mules and ligers are sterile, but there is a stable percentage of fertile specimens, actually. Not that it means much when we are talking about supernatural creatures. Since Surma wasn't a first generation fire elemental hybrid, there's no reason to assume Annie to be biologically infertile, either. |

The next page kind of implies that what she's worried about is losing her best friend because her best friend might think gays are horrible or something, which is probably a bit different to what people assumed Kat was worried about |

Isn't it hard enough to tell your friend you're dating someone? |

I think it's important to remember that a lot of things in this comic happen "off screen". Just the fact that Kat is the one to go after Paz in Faraway Morning suggests that they're pretty good friends at that point, and they HAVE been raising a baby bird together. With Paz being the one to break Kat out of her funk and the aforementioned bird raising, I think it's entirely possibly that Kat has had a crush on Paz for a while now. Whether or not she recognized it as romantic in nature prior to Faraway Morning is up in the air (when I was younger I had a FEROCIOUS crush on a girl that I only realized was a crush in retrospect, just because at the time being a big gaymo wasn't even something that was on my radar), but Rey may have seen it for what it was since he's been broadly hinting at things for a long time. ^ This! There is a lot of time that passes between chapters and sometimes within. I am sure the girls actually attend classes daily, but we have only seen a few. Annie, Paz & Kat are all in the same class (it started at 7qn, so 9qn now?) so they see one another several hours per day. As Momo says, baby City Face! We have only seen Kat at the place Paz works twice, but does that mean she has only been there those two times? She probably drops by fairly often to look in on their pet project of taking care of the baby bird. |

She probably drops by fairly often to look in on their pet project of taking care of the baby bird. She said she would stop by to check on the bird. There's also the fact that she knew, as she was picking up the baby pigeon, that Paz would be at the animal-care facility at that time, and possibly where said facility is. As far as I can recall there was very little prior to that point to indicate that Paz was that much involved with animals, or that she and Kat interacted much. |
