I just had a thought. The hands here are done very well. Usually I notice hands because they are a bit off, or wrong. The better ones are drawn with 3 fingers and a thumb. IN any case, I was thinking to myself, gee, the hands are done well. As seen in the last page, with the handshake - firmly out, with pride and confidence - the hand just looks right! Excellent work! Effortlessly excellent :)

And now I notice that female Loroi females have human male hands, thanks for that.

Meh, I don't think Loroi female hands look any significantly different from human female hands...with one exception... loroi females do not grow their nails long but keep them trimmed like most human males. Split nails in combat can be Very distracting ~ and painful! :)

hi hi

These Loroi certainly aren't living the life of a hand model.

What I mean is that male ring fingers are longer on average than their index fingers, and women vice versa, the Loroi females seam to have longer ring fingers.

Its an average thing, far from a universal. But don't feel bad, I don't have an adam's apple.

Eh, long nails are a cultural/class/occupation thing. Women can and do have normal short nails if long nails would impede their work. Or just don't like it, or they are rebels.

I think "Fort Jardin" works best. Simple and effective.

So, what is that? Does not look like a weapon or something. More like a comb? Or something to stick into your hair, if you are a girl?

A gift for the handshake eh? Looks like Cloud thinks Alex is one of them no money no hand-honey types :lol:

Or perhaps she want's to show Alex the Loroi way of greeting/bonding? Combing each others hair.

Hair pin, maybe? Or possibly hat pin if she’s lived somewhere sunny.
