…I think the water came across pretty well in these panels.

(continued from 1392)
…TA-DAA! All of a sudden, she ends up with TANface GREENhair and locks lips with her instead!
Elven Magic at its best!

WTF? seriously… just, wow. eh, what did i expect from reading a fantasy-romance book, not going to suggest the dreamland chronicles to anyone now. I mean seriously, was that really necessary? dude, you really need to stop the ‘fanservice’…

Agreed, eyes open would look really odd. No one gets their faces that close together with your eyes wide open unless it’s a fast peck, and I doubt a fast peck would read well in a comic like this, nor would it potentially transfer what has to be powerful shape-shifting magic.

But in my defense, in #1392, she IS nearly touching hands with the green-skinned one!
So please check the last panel in 1392, maybe you should replace the mermaid there?

Something just occured to me: it may just be necessary to hold the mermaid’s head, in order to keep her steady, as she is floating, whereas Nastajia is still held up by her feet on the sand below the water… so in order to not kiss her nose, or somesuch, she had no choice but to hold her head. And as Scott already said, it seems that having them with their eyes open looked weird…

I agree–but in this case there are two further considerations:

1. Not only are we dealing with another culture, but another species. Merpeople may not only have rather different cultural forms, but the whole basis of those forms, such as what is intimate or a “come on” may be shaped by their physiology.

2. Then there’s the whole magic aspect, and the need to be transformed by a kiss to take your undersea form. Perhaps it needs something–and so Nastajia, having gotten used to it, knows that it’s “just a peck”, while Alex is reading into it from his own experience from the Dayworld Earth.

I’d say that the kiss is perfectly innocent and suitable for children and does convey what it was mean to, on the other hand I think most of us adults are going to infer things whether we try to or not… on a more practical level neither elves nor merpeople are human, they are otherworldly, and thus might just be significantly more comfortable with physical contact than humans.
