because he wanted to satisfaction of him realizing he was outsmarted

There is a chance Girard realizes this is actually the 10% possibility.

True but he already failed to realize there could actually be a legit "greater good" excuse. (Makes me wonder if, after placing this illusion, he ever thought about what he put in it and realized he might have screwed up quite a bit.)

Last panel struck me as particularly poignant since Roy himself hired a man for tracking who has no ranks in Survival and a non-positive Wisdom modifier.

I like the potshot Nightwing took at V.

Could be - if you look the way his speech is structured he's basically taking the opportunity to kick Soon Kim in the balls over and over after they agreed to never meet again. So he could have been angry at Soon for the rest of his natural life, or he could have realized his mistake and done something to make up for it? I'm curious to see where it's going from here.

Oh, good. I was worried the plot was going to advance. That was a close call.

HA!

On the one hand, there's going to be a sidequest. Yay desert sidequest!
On the other hand, there's going to be another fucking sidequest.

Looking back on the Order of the Scribble comics it occurs to me now that Girard's always been kind of a jackass.

more or less my sentiment too, what with his already slow updates it will be months before they get to the next gate.
