As always, voting for Runewriters gets you a peek at my process! Including when I hit the wrong buttons in Photoshop.
Vote Incentive for This Comic.
She couldn't either! That's why she asked Sev to repeat it. :3

Did he also repeat the "You could both be abberants" to her or did she just guess the gist?
Also: ditto what Kiri said below me: awwwww! XD

Well, that seems like it could go either way, based on the page! xD
Either
(1) Severian has been mouthing the whole thing back to Tareth, like in panel 3, so she can lipread him instead. Since he's off panel we can't see it, and since he's not saying it aloud we can't hear him.
Or
(2) Tareth guessed at what the guard was saying and got it more or less right.
Or
(3) Tareth didn't catch the guard's response at all and just kept talking anyway, which is why her response doesn't strictly answer the guard's question.
Frankly, any of these makes sense to me!

Oh, Severian, you made the same gender mistake I did. :D Truly we are kindred spirits.

One thing I didn't notice at first, not until after looking after voting and seeing the intermediate versions, was that the guard has some sort of weird rock stuff on her hand and face.
Rocky guards, talking moon wolves, it's enough to make one start thinking that the whole "aberrant" thing is a lifestyle choice. :-/

Haha! That's an interesting thought - I wonder if aberrants are people who got altered somehow, or if it's a distinctly non-human sort of creature.

So, having a speech impediment means I'll never be mistaken for an aberrant. Cool! I'm sure that'll come in handy someday. :P

Ah! The gate lady has weird stuff growing on her. SHE must be an aberrant! KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Tareth's eyesight must be about a bazillion times better than mine; I wouldn't be able to see that guards face, let alone read her lips from that distance.
Good thing I'm not Tareth!
