Ben should hold Eliza's hands, since he's wearing gloves and all :p
Mr Thackerey should offer Ms Swift his gloves. Or is that too unprogressive? Perhaps one glove?
Look, this is a classic hypothermia situation. If you're up in the mountains and one of your party members develops hypothermia, first response should be to pull out a sleeping bag or at least an emergency blanket, cuddle up together with as much surface area in contact between the two of you, and wrap the blanket around you both.
Just saying.
If he offers one glove, they can keep their bare hands warm by holding hands. Win-win
Holding hands?! This used to be a respectable comic!
Honestly! What would Baroness Worsley think?
Gren says Please have your romantic awakenings elsewhere
Looks to me like she was amused at the thought of them warming each other and then disappointed that she became the focus, instead.
They can, like, smell spirits, can't they?
Gren is about to tear herself away, causing them to fall on each other.
Gren says, "I am above all this nonsense."
I like how Eliza is just as flustered by the growing spark between them as Ben is.
They’re adorable :D
Gren barely bearing with all the flirting
"all dare you when I'm still single"
And it's so easy to make her happily partnered. In one of the Q&As she said her ideal partner was a ham. If only this was the right kind of warehouse!
Gren looks like [s]he's just about ready to spontaneously manifest magical abilities [her]self if that's what it'll take to get past this nonsense. [edit: oops]
*she
Dagnabbit, I should have checked that. Thank you.
Mal to the rescue? Or Harry? Or Wolfe? Or Sidney?
EDIT: Or maybe Mal sends the purple happy hippo to the rescue!
I'm afraid all of them have things to do just now... like, it's possible that they'd capture the goon trying to get Mal and get to know about Pryce and his captives from him... but it takes time!
We have Sharpe as well, though.
Important: does anyone know they're missing? I still think their best bet is Ben summoning something to help. Too bad he's busy flirting :P
Gren is a professional.
Also depending on her coat it might be the first time she's been at a comfortable temperature in a while ;)
I've actually been in a freezer like that once. It was terrifying. Thank god for Osha mandating handles on the insides of those big walk in freezers these days.
Or when the handle is old and a bit warped, and sure, nobody's been stuck in there... YET. But... >_<
I knew Gren would be a good chaperone.
Gren appears not to want to have this job. She would prefer more sausages instead. Unfrozen if possible.
I love these two.
Gren might have to quit being the middle-dog and go check out whether the fish are too frozen to eat.
I just want to shake them and yell "KISS ALREADY"
Honestly I love these awkward beans. Excitable nerds make for great flustered crushes. Extra pleased that my girl Eliza is getting some romance. I was a little worried that a core trans character was gonna be "too busy" for feelings.
I mean those globes weren't going to destroy themselves...
...nice.
"You're meant to... h-huddle together for warmth."
*Fan base collectively gasps*
"Uhm. With the dog, I m-mean."
*Fan base collectively sighs in disappointment*
Eliza is flirting as hard as she can, but she's still not quite THAT forward ;)
Greenwich is. Just. Not. Having. This.
Gren gets tired of this, and just picks the lock.
...yes, the lock that's on the other side of the door.
Gren is so embarrassed for the humans.
and there was only one dog!
I mean you really do want to start the huddling thing asap.
OK if you're doing the huddling thing correctly everyone is naked, or in their underwear and in a sleeping bag, bed, or equivalent. Clothing gets in the way of sharing warmth since it is supposed to keep the individual warm, not the group.
So there you go.
How close are they to the anchor? Did Gren just sense Henry come back? Mommmaaaaaa
*Harry is a name, phone.
Gren don't got time for drama, out there in the world, there's sausages to eat.
How's she feel about fish?
Summon desperation to tear the door offx
I love how Harry-esque Gren's grumpiness looks in those last few panels. Not too surprising that she'd pick up some of those mannerisms over time...
Things humans find useful about Gren:
1. Companionship
2. Detection of magic
3. Plausible deniability
Harry just before going through Nyree's door: "Tell Sid...hff...to look after Gren for me."

Guys. Get a room.
...
Oh, right. You did that already. Good job! Now make with the snuggling!
I doubt Gren will mind.
eyes the next comic Oh won't she? Insufficient petting, I think.
I will admit I was mildly disappointed.
In a way that I called Gren by the correct name for a female dog. It might not get approved as a comment by those in power. XD
ah yeah, i have a word filter set on that one for probably obvious reasons :)
Completely understandable, but it still had to be tried. XD
The times I've had my comments blocked by Youtube-bots then again...
You can't even write "scum" there. Ô_o'
Not only was it a (in my mind) hilarious 40k-referencial comment of some length, but it took me until the third attempt before I realised which word kept sinking my comment. XP
All written with phone, no less. -_-''''
The facial expressions of Gren are SO the highlight of this strip. I just can't stop laughing. We really need Gren expression stickers. :D
With how hard she's blushing I'm amazed steam isn't coming off the top of Eliza's head ^_^
Gren's expression are hilarious.
No no no you don't hug the dogs, you're supposed to eat the dogs. Just not their livers. Sorry, Gren, but traditions matter.
