OMG! She's pouring wine in the midst of battle?
This looks like an episode of Cougartown!
Well she didn't have much else to do at the moment.
At least she's using a glass...
What stinks of vinegar? Ooo! The wine has gone bad because Gluttony is distracted and having a hard time maintaining the temporal flux, and some of the food stuffs are reverting to their true age! No, wait, it's just the pickled beet juice.
The pickled eggs! Samuel got some on him while choke-holding the butler.
Eh, what, you're running and leaving rosie & co ?
Well, they mustn't disturb the circle or the summoning will end. Or won't it?
Not sure, i've seen Sidney Malik step in and out the circle while he was bargaining, in a previous chapter.
Tho maybe they don't know about that. Or the circle is assumed to be a safe zone.
You can't break the lines, and the conduit (in this case, Nora) can't leave the circle. Sid could step over the line a little, but he was keeping his arm inside, since it had the conduit (bracelet) on it.
Oh, okay
If all goes well, Gluttony is in quite a pickle!
...hmm, was that pun too jarring? You're right, that was tasteless; I should have preserved your sense of decency.
I'm not sure if I can stomach these puns this early in the morning. Savour them for later, okay?
Okay, okay, I'll put a lid on it.
All your puns have soured me and made me bitter.
Aw, I thought they were sweet.
Uncle! :o
Where were you guys when I was trying to jam (!) all these puns into Sykes' dialogue?!
Well, if only you'd asked for food puns beforehand... ;)
Eh, I don't know. When you force puns, they tend to turn out half-baked. For Widdershins, we want only the upper-crust. sniffs pompously
Nah, I just said that to get a rise out of you.
We should put them to one side and entrée-duce some new main plot elements. Let's all hope the bad guys get their just desserts.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I hate to say this, but I'm afraid the Australians are beating us at the art of awful food-related puns as well as cricket (ladies team excepted of course):

Shouldn't that be "scents" of decency?
Squee! Punnery! I love a juicy pun!
Well this seems to be going smoothly. Too smoothly...
Could be worse Ethan. You could smell of a scullery...
I love the way Edie talks. It's this enchanting mix of erudite and slang. ^^
Wait for the next instalment... ^_^
Is his hair dyed?
Merely a rebellious remnant of flour or some-such, I think.
I think Ethan has flour in his hair. Is he about to meet some gentle people?
This page oddly reminds me of one of Darken's final ones. I think it's the combination of the summoning circle at the double doors.
