#i realise red can't say anything because that would defeat the purpose of storytelling

it's nice to be on the right path

though something tells me there's a bit more to this than may be initially apparent

(and tess looks so cool?? so cool here)

I noticed that Erin opened his sleeve before summoning up his fire in the latest page. Does he NEED to reveal the rune tattoos to use them? Or is it just a thing he does, like a quirk of his casting style?

Well, most mages with runic tattoos don’t need to do anything with them in order to draw on their power. However, it is pretty interesting that, every time we���ve seen Erin cast, he’s touched one of his tattoos first.
