RT´s Pet Comic #4

Our beloved, cuddly, little interrogator: ready for action and eager for affection.

You thought it was just cats? No, no, a Rogue Trader's entourage (menagerie) includes all kinds of cute animals!

I haven't the faintest idea what to do with a pet fish. Do you peck at the wall or stare at it? Wouldn't either scare them to death? A Cthulhu monster is staring at them, and they'll have nowhere to swim. 

Well, to make up for that, I present Mermaid Cassia. Why haven't I seen any fanart of her with a fish tail yet? It's so obvious. If I ever finish this little comic series, I'll give Mermaid Cassia another proper portrait.

Second comic with our favorite murder kitty.

First of at least six comics about the Rogue Trader‘s pets. This time with Not-your-xenos-pet-mon‘keigh-cat Yrliet.

Oh, definitely! My iconoclast RT would have folded like a cheap lawn chair.

I'm pretty sure Xavier did that mostly to satisfy his own ego and to show the cute new RT that he's even more powerful than them (control freak and dom that he is).

With the other two, far more experienced RTs, he wouldn't have been able to pull that crap. Calligos would have laughed in his face and Incendia would have just sneered and told him that she's already blindly devoted to the Imperium and such actions are childish and unworthy of an Inquisitor. But with our RT? He can happily live out that fantasy. How long did he even sit there waiting for us to come? I bet he was excited and full of anticipation the whole time.

HC: Like Heinrix, he had carefully prepared his speeches, and unlike Heinrix, he also included some variations for RT that deviated from the script (so that he didn't start stuttering like a certain baffled interrogator). I tell you, that comment, about his sensitive hands in our bedchambers, was carefully planned as he strolled through our private quarters just minutes earlier.

Gotta appreciate the gaslighting:

He's the one who barged into my study at night, knocked out my servant and sat in my chair. And now he claims that he's in no mood to squabble? That I'm being the difficult one here?

I love this character so much - how he gets under your skin, making you shake with impotent rage. I bet most RTs killed XC just for this stunt. The funny thing is that if he'd politely requested RT's cooperation, 99% of RTs would've totally bought into his dilfy rizz and handed him his stupid shard on a silver platter.
