1: Tullus tilts his head curiously, half smirking.
Tullus: Have we met, Ms. Klein?
2: Lea watches him quizzically, shrugging.
Lea: Once, I think. You were here visiting two months ago, for…
I think you needed some old letters for a speech?
Tullus: I don’t recall, but… maybe. Your face just seems familiar…
Lea: Beats me.
3: Tullus’s hand fiddles around with something on the desk.
Tullus: You’re… Egyptian, right? Your accent is slight, but I recognize it.
Lea: Guilty.
4: Tullus is looking down at the desk, not at her.
Tullus: Any insight on the protests today?
5: Lea looks worriedly out the window, eyes wide and reflecting the bright light from outdoors.
6: Another view of the two of them speaking – facing each other but keeping distant.
Lea: I don’t have much to say about it, sir.
Tullus: Ms. Klein… in times like this, it’s important that we’re all on the same team.
Oh yeah, he’s suspicious.
I feel like
– the Doyen is someone else in disguise too
– Lea’s speech mannerisms/attitude are going to get Julia recognized
(- the Doyen knows Julia from her online stuff)
I cannot be the only one noticing that the lights are unreasonably bright, right?
Well, define “unreasonably”. There *are* a lot more ceiling lights that we’d put into a RL office, so it’s not simply comic physics …
Reflections, but also the sheer lines of light coming down from each. That’s not normally needed to convey lighting and I don’t recall it coming up, or coming up as much, in the comic before. So either it’s a choice on the part of the Vatican, or it’s a choice on the part of Rebecca.
I have got to say, the work on the light reflection in the eyes has been absolutely amazing. I am stunned by the details you’re working into all of this!
I think I understand it-
I guess, the protest is about an Egyptian, religious statue being removed from the Vatican’s lands, + Ms. Klein is Egyptian so he suspects that she might be mad about the Egyptian statue being recently owned by the Vatican?
