Waves washed invitingly up the beach in lazy rolls. Riley blinked a few times as he stepped through the door and into bright sunlight. He squinted, looking up and down the beach near the trees. Maenae was nearby, that’s all that Riley knew from the computer’s locator.
Then he heard the sound of laughter coming from further down the beach, closer to the water. Riley took off in the direction of the sound and within a few steps could see Maenae and two fuzzy dice frolicking in the shallows.
Maenae was barefoot, wearing a simple golden dress, with her hearing dampeners bouncing around her shoulders on their straps. The dice had the cute fuzzy look that made Riley suspect they belonged to Claudia. They were too gentle looking to be used for combat.

A WHOLE PAGE UPDATE!! This is why my buffer suffers sometimes :D
Oh well.
You're about to see a bizarre shift in how I color the comics. It's bizarre, because I love how it looks, but my process says it shouldn't look the way it does. :D

Oh yeah, Swiftpaw began updating yesterday on Patreon. It costs a minimum $1 a month to read it at one page per week. Likely only three this month due to Christmas holidays and my family being off two weeks.
I am open for commissions, btw.

It’s been a while since we last saw her. Why does she have hearing dampeners again?
Also, Claudia is not going to like having wet, salty, and sand covered dice coming back onto her ship.

It occurs to me we have never seen Claudia interact with or talk about Maenae. Everyone else has at least a little.

Claudia either doesn’t know about her, or refuses to acknowledge her, since, you know, she wants Lexx’s undivided attention, and a daughter would only get in the way.
Spikes
This is actually my point. How can she NOT know about her? I mean surely SOMEONE has mentioned her to Claudia. And I seriously doubt she wouldn’t try to exploit the “i love kids” approach.

I found the bio for her in the wiki to check on something:
http://www.shivae.org/wiki/index.php?title=Maenae
She has been shown before with those blue half globes above her eyes, but they are not there now. Are these also some sort of removable shields or filters?
The wiki also states that she has the secret ability to eavesdrop on relay conversations. This could get awkward if she asks ‘Papa’ Lexx what he and Chel have been talking about.

Those were just decorations like bows. 🙂
