#Draw both and then put bam behind Geum?

[ceiling-karasu]

I’ve been thinking about Bamsaegi again. Like in Secret of Wolfspider Cave, Geumsaegi has a flashback where he meets with the commanders, and Bamsaegi listens in and then jumps out in front of them.

And the commanders aren’t upset that he was listening since they know him on sight implying he usually tags along (ignoring the ‘he will also make a good soldier’ thing going on).

So all I can imagine is something like this:

Combined with this

Or maybe even when Geumsaegi is dining with the leaders of other villages and Bamsaegi is shyly hiding in the doorway or behind Geumsaegi’s chair.

Still have to draw mice, or even a scene from Lily Bell with Bamsaegi, Undochi, and their friends sneaking away during festivals to watch the fireworks from better vantage points.

Side note: also wondering if Bamsaegi fully understands the implications of Geumsaegi having to leave. Like, did he think Geumsaegi was going to come back in a manner of weeks? Instead, the next time he sees his brother, he is now an adult.

Who took care of him during that time? If we assume Geumsaegi and Juldarami were like his parents, then that implies they didn’t have many relatives. Was it Uncle Gom? Did the village raise him collectively? Or did a neighbor take him in? Did he sit up many nights or wait during the day for his brother to finally return, feeling as if surely it would only be a few more hours?

It would be very sad if he was just considered old enough to live by himself at his age with minimal supervision, which is also likely, although I’m sure he would have had many friends taking care of him.
