Dax <3 . So it has been 10 years and Alix was still a teenager, huh?

swankivy

Yeah! Back in Issue #269 he told Dax he was nineteen when they were just getting to know each other!

Alix was a teenager when he ran away to the circus?

swankivy

Yes, Alix was a teenager when he did everything he did before we met him in Issue #269. For the record, characterizing all people who work in circuses as "running away" to work there isn't accurate.

It's kind of a cliché trope that kids running away from home go to work in the circus (heck, We're Back, A Dinosaur Story was all about that). I just assumed he ran away because he's a freak, or his parents kicked him out? Was he a orphan or what?

swankivy

I know that people say "ran away to join the circus" all the time. But as established many many times, "tropes" are not the inspiration for how I write this story. Alix still has a relationship with his parents (which we learn about when Weaver teases him about them giving him money). Being a "freak" certainly figures into Alix's decisions not to live in human society, but he was not forced into any of his situations, by his parents or by others.

Any comments left here are PUBLIC. If you are not comfortable with that, mail me directly.
