- Sandra: Larisa told me that you’re a weak-willed sinner who easily succumbed to the temptation of the flesh.
- Sandra: What do you have to say for yourself?
- Cloud: I only did it because you’re beautiful and I thought it would make you happy.

Now THIS is speechcraft!
@ Benno:
Want to see some more speechcraft? I replied to this comment on the 11th, but your comment says the 12th
@ CopperPenguin20:
I thought so… Wherever the uploader of these comics lives, it is exactly 1 hour ahead of the place I live.
@ CopperPenguin20:
Because it also says 12th on mine
Cloud knows that being honest is the only way out of this mess.
Cloud rolled a nat 20 on that one.
Wow, smooth. I’ll have to remember that one 😀
Satan: You told me that they’re both weak-willed sinners who will easily succumb to the temptations of the flesh. What have you got to say for yourself?
Larisa: Is that the Fenris wolf about to do its business on your lawn?
Satan: What?! The Aesir are supposed to have him tied up! *spins round* And how can you see my lawn from here anyway?? *turns back, sees Larisa’s receding back* …She’s good!

@ CopperPenguin20:
Perhaps this is a German webcomic, and some kind of insane timezone stuff happened…
Cloud gets 10/10. Correct answer.
@ Greenwood Goat:
Fenrir*
@ MittoMan:
Depends on where you’re from. I’m a Dane and I always knew the beast as The Fenris Wolf.
Ya know, Sandra, it wouldn’t hurt to meet him halfway
Damyum Cloud what’s your speech skill level??
Huh. Who’d have thought honesty works with women.
This isn’t the first time he’s been able to honesty his way out of a situation. Remember when she asked if he thought other girls were prettier than her?
Sometimes, honesty is just flattering and patches things up. 😀
I really feel bad for Cloud in panel 3, he looks like someone who’s puppy just died! I think he actually thought he might have lost Sandra for a moment.
So glad to see that this incident didn’t destroy their relationship.
Its what Jesus would do, Sandra….good job.
Cloud, you said the right words there dude. Glad all is well there.
Of course, her dad might still be weird for a bit.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, Cloud!
And Larisa gets off scot free?
Anonymous Pie,
Sandra did grab her mouth. That has got to hurt.
Ps.
Couldn’t click reply on your post.
Come on Sandra, just do us, erm him the favor already! You even told Larissa you want exactly that when she suggested truth or dare a few stripes ago!
*That* was the right answer.
Now we need to prevent her father and grandfather from killing Laurasia’s family and the entirety of Russia as retribution.
I know what Sandra can get Cloud for his birthday …. a nice pink dress, What! He’ll wear one to rescue Tifa from Don Corneo’s Mansion, but he wont wear one for his girlfriend
Certainly one way to get out of the doghouse.
Now Sandra may put her present to good use, provided her grandfather didn’t burn it at the stake.

So this is what she did to Sandra and Cloud. I wonder what poor Landon has comeing towards him. She already was a girlffriend quite a bit out of his confort zone before she became a succubus 🙂
Is this the first time they’ve been, however temporarily, upset with one another?
@ Markas Lin:
“Depends on where you’re from. I’m a Dane and I always knew the beast as The Fenris Wolf.”
Some of my ancestors were Danes way back and I approve this comment. Wave-tide and wolf-tide till the world ends!
I’m going to sound like a broken record but the absence of Ben and Theo in the character polls is concerning. Are they officially no longer going to appear? I know they weren’t super popular but they were two of my favorite characters.
I was going to say “a little flattery goes a long way” but since I’m sure Cloud is being honest, maybe that should be “a little honesty goes a long way” 🙂
He is also a Casanova
The weak sinner always gets the girl.
About honesty, what Cloud did not say was “…and I really wanted to see you wear it”. Now, looking back at the scenes involving him buying the lingerie, it is likely that he didn’t think that much about Sandra showing it to him and Sandra also knows Larisa was a huge contributing factor.
However, I doubt that most girls would buy a “I only did it because…” explanation that doesn’t include a “wanted to see you wear it”. repeating Clouds explanation could easily get a girl more angry.
It also does help a lot that Sandy lurves Cloudy.
On the one hand: Good to see that all is well with Sandra and Cloud 🙂
On the other hand: I can’t believe we got screwed out of seeing Ye Thuza’s reaction to Cloud’s gift 🙁
@ Crystalgate:
But if he were buying the lingerie to see it on her, then it’s not really a gift for her. She’d have every right to be angry.
I think Larisa assumed too much and gave herself too much credit, and it turns out he didn’t buy it out of lust, just out of a somewhat misguided attempt to buy his girlfriend a more mature, intimate gift.
@ CopperPenguin20:
6 hours ahead of Germany here.
“Love covers a multitude of sins.”
@ LupoCani:
Not by a long shot. There was the time that he didn’t call her the prettiest girl in the school. There was also the time when Woo got scared and peed on her (he thought she did it and that didn’t go down well). Those are the only times I can remember right now but there may be more.

@ MidoriLuna:
Larisa grossly toned down her involvement. She is the primary reason Cloud even bought the lingerie, Clouds “sinful thought” being a distant second. Heck, when Cloud snapped out of his daze, Larisa persuaded him to go along with it by insuring that Sandra would like it, not by appealing to his lust. So, Larisa was mostly talking out of her ass the previous strip.
Anyway, what I was trying to point out was that while people are praising Cloud’s speech-craft, it only worked because Sandra believed him (and in turn I’d say she believed him only because she had a good reason to), not because Cloud’s explanation is super great. I’d imagine that for most boys who tried to pull of Cloud’s stunt, they would have a more selfish motive. If they then tried Cloud’s explanation, chance is their girlfriend would call bullshit.
Granted, if one’s motive is less noble, it’s better to honestly admit it than denying it and not being believed. Even so, I don’t imagine it would go as well as it did here.
“sins” are only ever evil if you perceive them as such and don’t manage them with integrity.
I still see the poor sap in the dog-house
Someone just rolled a natural 20/exploded a bunch on their courtier/social/diplomacy rolls.
D’awww~
I mean, Sandra is one to talk here. She is tough enough to resist and reveal a succubus, yet agreed to the strip poker thing many updates earlier. That makes her a “strong-willed sinner who knowingly succumbed to the temptation of the flesh”.
