Though I suppose there is something in this that sort of makes me wonder about Veled's relationship with Cypress?
During the total time that they spent together in the comic thus far, it seemed that Veled almost had an aunt, mother or grandmotherly presence in Cypress's presence. Even the flashbacks seem to hint that Veled has had relations with Cypress's mother for some time.
I use to think that Veled was to busy to have anything other then a proxy family with Cypress or something with how she interacted with her. I gues this page shows that she can play many roles and can play them all if necesarry at any moment. She's a very crafty and capable Celeste.
Still a very nice picture of Veled pregnant.
