>>101941112Ehh, reading a bit too much into it, I think. Unless there's some sort of supplementary material I never read indicating otherwise.
>>101940907I like Cio apart from the romantic stuff that's been done with her character right now, as it hasn't really been done that well. I could ignore the current flaws, though, so long as future developments are done better, however. Hell, I've done that for pretty much every comic I've read and liked well enough to not drop.
As for Zaid; of the points I believe people haven't ever mentioned, I do think Zaid was being somewhat emotionally manipulative when he 'backed off' from sex. Now I say emotionally manipulative, but not more so than any other person would be on average and not in the same sense that zealots use to paint a bad picture of someone. Aside from that, this picture of him shaving, presumably in preparation for doing it with Allison, somehow just makes him look more relatable and likeable in my eyes.
