Eee, exciting! I love that little smile on Baron in the third panel and that last shot in silhouette – gives a real pause to the moment, and I actually have no idea of how Baron will react to the news. He’s a mysterious fellow in some ways, as his casino/medieval tapestry-themed inner life attests to.
Yup. That whole strip is just gorgeous; me, I like the last panel best, but they’re all really beautiful. Love how they shade from colorful in panel 1 to near-monochrome in panel 4, it’s colors as punctuation.
I don’t think he’s going to him for advice. It’s just a nice little gesture of reconciliation. He’s making a point that he’s sharing these news with Baron instead of with Tip.
Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls
Is that a song there, and do I belong there?
I’ve never been there, but I know the way
I’m going to go back there someday
…..I’m just gonna sit her and smile to myself a lot. A whole lot. I know things are going to get weird and there’ll be angst, but I’ve been hoping things’d head this way. Also, Nick? Do not say no. Accept what the Universe has given you, and when your brain urges you to say no just STFU and say ‘yes.’
Yee-Ha! This has been a long time coming, and it makes me very happy. (Of course, complications will arise. But Nick and Ginny seem to have realized what they want, and have been heading there pretty steadily for some time, so a happy ending seems quite plausible.)
Not sure if checking to see if baron is listening, or she actually proposed to Nick, it could go either way.

WHAT?!
We know Nick was planning to propose to Gin. But it sounds like Nick’s response was “Er, this is so sudden! I need time to think about it. ”
Or he just ran away.
And now he’s turning to Baron Mistycorn for advice? After almost terminating him?
Is Virginia bringing her confused turmoil to Dr. Wilken?
(BTW, panel 1 is just – there’s no other way to say it – a work of art!)

Thanks, but it’s just the scene in The Muppet Movie where they camp in the desert.
Most of my work is Muppet-based.
“Just”. Heh.
I thought I recognized it!
Also, Ginny proposed! Eeeeeee!

Yay. Congratulations folks.
Wait. What?
GIN DID WHAT

Say No? He’s already been thinking about the Chupah.

…WELL then.
I freaking love this storyline.
I wonder if Virginia’s read any Bujold.
Nice reference!
I have noted how pretty much all Bujold’s stories turn into (or never were anything but) love stories.
Love this!
Say yes, Nick.
I’m guessing he already did.
Nice!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY CONGRATULATIONS CUTIES!!!!!
(Like, okay, fine, it’s not a done deal yet. But please please please you two are such cuties together!!!)
Wait, what would the offspring look like? (might be code based..)
I’m now picturing a baby carriage with a propeller, hovering three feet off of the ground, being pushed by the proud, smiling parents.
I figured their offspring would look like the delivery drone who dropped off something for Baron M. at the beginning of this storyline.
Yes because everyone knows cybernetics are hereditary.
Skin Horse always surprises me in the best ways.
“Most of my work is Muppet-based.”
Mine, too.
Worrisome thing is, I’m a cancer geneticist.
Exciting times.
*applauds*
Dr. Lee to her Nick did propose. A startling thing to disclose. The Baron was stunned by the news Nick spun by. And a wedding will come, I suppose.
Mazel tov!
What? Somebody had to say it.
(TUNE: “Edelweiss”, Rodgers & Hammerstein)
Mazel tov! Mazel tov!
Minibus is so groovy …
Desert night, full moon bright,
(Scene was swiped from a movie.)
Nick and Virginia, in love to stay!
Choosers they, not beggars!
Soon they’re wed, share a bed …
Two to one says she’s preggers!
The way these stories go, I keep expecting Gin to die or something. Of course, death is…relative around here.
Squeee!
