Well he can’t just explain that he needs to keep him around because he’s dead and needs to complete a holy quest for his gods before he can go to his equivalent of heaven. Better to have the girl disappointed in him rather than absolutely terrified of him.
D: She tries to do the right thing.
She tries! Hard to do when Coal is such a buttface.
Ah, Coal, you’re not so good at making friends…
He’s not here to make friends! He’s got a job to do!
I thought they’d gotten her a new dress?
And Coal is still such a little asshat. Can’t help it, I suppose – he judges everyone by his own standard. No imagination to speak of.
Hedda didn’t want a new dress! So they didn’t get one. Also Coal is an asshat for a while. :3
ahaha, Coal is making a judicious retreat from the puppy eyes in the last panel.
He knows when to retreat.

Or thinking he was really, really crazy.
Dawww…Hedda’s giving Coal puppy eyes.
Hang on…where’s Eire again?
Eire is Ireland. They’re in Denmark.
Okay, thanks.
Puppy Eyes are basically her default expression, she can’t help it!
Coal’s thoughts: Haha! I have beaten the puppy eyes!
Hahaha, he’s immune to most Puppy Eyes.
One of the few advantages of being undead.
I love Coal! Even though he’s quite single-minded, there’s still more going on than people think.
That’s what you think. But is it true?
Hopefully.
