Yay! She’s actually pretty smart after all! It makes sense that as a slave, she would have learned the habit of being carefully observant while never letting on that she noticed anything. Now I’m wondering if maybe she started to figure things out way back in chapter 7 when she was mending his cloak and tunic and there were matching sword holes on both the front and back of both garments.
If you think about it for a second,Coal was kinda bad about keeping it under wraps. Strong in a way no teenage Norse warrior should be,killed a warband by himself with no lasting injury and survived other things no living warrior should.
This is some top-tier Coalface. I love it when our grim little Viking boy gets flustered. Saoirse has been preparing for this conversation since the cliff incident, hasn’t she?
I can’t express just how much I love this page. Everything about it is gold. AND! We finally have a direct talk about supernatural stuff with someone who wasn’t already in the know somehow! I can’t wait to see how this will turn out
I think the technical term is “differently alive”. Because obviously he´s clearly not “very dead” in the same way the people he dismembered on Iceland are.
Next scene: Coal (or it is Cole?) leaners over side of the boat, sees reflection in water, sees that his eyes Do glow, and… he really should comb his hair. It’s almost Super Saiyan level anime hair at this point. Surprised small puffins or herring gulls haven’t nested there.
Coal: (thinks) but… I’m dead…
Saoirse: (Shrugs) I know. Somehow, I’ve always known.

Serves him right for not spending more time combing his hair in polished mirrors at night

Quick, Coal, point out that you’re technically completely human, just a very dead one! That will alleviate all suspicion!

The holes were probably a clue.
kinda hard to see your own eyes when mirrors aren’t common

Huh, she’s handling this better than I was expecting of a medieval Christian.
Although she is Irish, so she might just be dumping everything that doesn’t fit her religion’s tiny worldview into the Faerie Box.
