There's something about the unfortunate placement of the cushions that draws my eye every time I see this panel. Somehow at first glance Spiral always looks... More well built... Than normal.

I don't know L. We've only seen a few panels with her in it.
Spiral, to me, appears as usual with Loroi females ~ a young shapely attractive woman... though her expression does denote some personal joy she might be experiencing... she looks happy... not laughing just pleased.

And somehow relaxed. Like a lot of tension that fell off.
Getting out of the hard-suit might do the trick. End of a taxing shift where she was close to having lost all souls in her guard (as pilot), is finally over, and whatever happens now out of her hands.

As a fighter pilot she have been living with the threat of instant death, alone (out of sanzai range), in any battle. Now she is among friends and there is even a male here. It look bleak but if this is it, she may at least take the opportunity to enjoy herself.

Oh dear, looks like we're about to have a "personal item gift" showdown. Beryl: Captain, I think you'll find this treasured stone that was a gift to me from my son to be a far superior item, please take it. Reed: Have my training pistol from back in the academy, Captain! Fireblade: Panties! These are my panties. G-guys like that kind of stuff, right?

Yes, Fireblade, that is correct

I just now notice that Alex is apparently much taller than most Loroi. Must be weird for them.

I'm pretty sure Loroi are already used to being shorter than the Barsam, for example.

I meant that they are used to small males. The Barsam might be taller, but less Loroi-ish.

This is cutely very Disney-like... I could see Princess Kida {from Atlantis: The Lost Empire {2001}}, or Princess Ariel {The Little Mermaid}, making a similar gesture trying to imitate the human 'handshake'. Made me chuckle...

Loroi can be adorable when they aren´t interrogating, fighting or genociding someone.

So can humans, but we've done all those things too..so what's your point?

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
I’m hoping there’s some time for reflection and learning about what being a human / Lori is. The whole ‘campfire’ vibe may encourage some relaxation and personal discussion.
Or Beryl may seize the opportunity to keep grilling Alex until someone hurls pillows at her.
At risk of sounding greedy, hopefully we’ll get some scenes with dialog and personality and - this is the important bit - not whole great gobs of fresh scenery which presumably take ages to design, model, texture, light etc.
EDIT: formatting. Twice. Addendum: once Alex finds out how young - by human standards - some Loroi warriors are, he may find himself motivated to not take his pants off until safely back in human space. While we've seen the character sheets, I don't think Alex knows yet.
Thinking of he work itself and the Insider extras, Arioch clearly puts a lot of work in.
