He has possibly been scouting the University hospital, and is limping back after having to fight and dodge his way out to report that the place is solid with trolls and murderghosts. And that he feels a disturbance in the force.

Seems both mages have seen the omen, yet because of the language-barrier, they can't understand each other.

Todays page is gold. Lalli talks to someone besides Tuuri, which is rare, although Reynir can't understand him. Lalli seems highly uncomfortable by Reynir grabbing him, making Emil angry at Reynir. My prediction for the next page is that he shoves away Reynir saying "No-one touches my cat! He clearly doesn't like it!". None of them understand each other.

[Mélusine]

None of them understand each other.

Which makes all more funny. At least for the readers ^^

[Solokov]

...looks like a giant crow to me not an omen.

[Vafhudr]

I am seeing a tree and what seems to be the face of a moose.

But it's an omen of what?

I interpret it as the ghost horse approaching the crew.

[thorny]

I also took it for the ghost horse.

But what is that in the inset? An amulet of some sort? And are they seeing it as an inset, or is it just an inset from the readers' point of view, and part of the main image to the crew? (and are they all seeing it, or only Reynir and Lalli?)

-- I'm just full of questions today.

I think the thing in the inset is the creature's eye,  the inset panel is seen from a readers' point of view, and I imagine only the mages have the ability to see omens. Emil does look pretty clueless, after all.

Hmm, I thought the inset was the eye of the ghost. It does look like an amulet, yes.

[Basse]

The inset has been confirmed by Minna to be the creatures eye. Seems like it looks down at the crew.

Minna explains somewhere near the bottom of the comments. It's an eye.

[thorny]

Thanks, Basse and Lazy8. I've pretty much given up on reading the comments over there, as there tend to be huge numbers of which I'm only interested in a few, and because I have to enable scripting for that page about three times over to see them at all (or turn off noscript entirely, which I'm not going to do because then sooner or later either my browser or occasionally the entire computer freezes up.)

I'll enable enough to see the page this time, because otherwise your link only gets me the comic itself again.

If it's not too late to still talk about page 580, Reynir is trying to comfort Lalli by hugging because he thinks Lalli is scared. He's failing to do so, but still, he tries. This confirms my headcanon Reynir wants to comfort people by hugging them.

About page 581, I think it's possible Lalli does understand the Norwegian word 'bed', but Sigrun can't tell he does. Also, poor Lalli being hugged by Reynir and now poked by Sigrun. Stop touching him, he clearly doesn't like it. And look at Emil's big grin while playing with Kitty. That's a too big smile for the wrong cat, mister...
