Not pictured: The rather extensive conversation between Fox and Jamie where Jamie had to explain what, exactly, an open or poly relationship might actually mean for them. Also not pictured: Fox getting about as far as "multiple partners" before getting distracted. Still, it looks like things are starting to fall into place with him. This page, in particular, feels like a good display of this updated style being more expressive. I think I got a lot more out of Drake and Rai, even though they don't say anything, than I would have before. ^.^
