In case you are wondering what the "Bong Bong"s are - they are supposed to be the alarm bells going off throughout the city. I didn't want to make them too obvious and also felt like both characters would not feel the need to further comment on it.

In case you are wondering who the captain is talking about in panel three - someone was deliberately keeping scouts from reporting what might be approaching the city. And Slania might have had a hunch already who was responsible for that. But wasn't really able to do much about it.

In case you are wondering if Ricard always looks this worried ... yes. She has a resting worried face. But also pretty good reason to be worried right now.
