Well, he looks like a Star Trek rubber-forehead alien to me… it seems that cosmetic surgery hasn’t advanced as far as bionics or robotics. Picked the wrong fandom, Natrix my son, you should have become a Singularitarian instead!
I’m conflicted, if his job is really surgery type stuff then that’d be an important thing to know but it’s also a really creepy thing to ask and in a really creepy way.
My guess is that taking off his glove to remove his mask is precisely what Ben is doing. I can imagine him saying “You can see my face. That should be enough. You’ve guessed that my friend here is just a kid, so you know she’s not a cop”or something like that.
Starting something with bull man around would be too risky, and Ben is probably too sensible to do that.
Why? When you’re a criminal, the last thing ou want is to work with people who are hiding behind masks. Plus I didn’t get the impression he was being hostile. Also, there’s hardly any harm in inquiring as to their age.
Me: who knows, this guy might still be not all that bad.
I’m probably the only one, but Natrix totally reminds me of Greed from FMA.
It’s the teeth.
Greed’s English VA is my new Natrix headcanon now. Non-sarcastic thanks.

He actually does remind me of greed
now that you mention it he does.
As the snake slithers across the desk to our poor defenseless hare the wolf prepares for action.
CANNOT UNSEE!
Look carefully. He is slithering across the desk literally. Panel 3 you can see bull, panel 4 you can not. Could this be… an animal attraction?
I just thought that was because his aura was sucking them into closed space, or something equally anime.

It’s the grin. The grin makes it creepy as hell.
*looks at the image next to his own name* What the? Why am I that guy?
You mean they didn’t forsee this?
You are dealing with a crook.
Naturally he wants to establish trust first.
You might be coppers!
Snakes eat rabbits. Wolves eat snakes.
But then again Wolves eat Rabbits…
There was a point here you have to believe me…
Sudden creep
Snakes hiss. Creepers hiss.
…
Coincidence? I think NOT!
I just imagined what Nate’s “smile” looked like from Steffi’s perspective.
Now I know what’s going to appear in my nightmares. Thanks, Cube!
Beeeeennn…
What are you up to Ben?
Don’t blow this attempt, Ben.
Steffi went “um” twice. That alone must’ve already blown it <_<
Paws off Steffi, Natrix.
ABORT. ABORT.
He’s not taking off his glove to remove his mask.
What you doin’ Ben?
You can’t be thinking of already starting something -not with bull man around..
My guess is that taking off his glove to remove his mask is precisely what Ben is doing. I can imagine him saying “You can see my face. That should be enough. You’ve guessed that my friend here is just a kid, so you know she’s not a cop”or something like that.
Starting something with bull man around would be too risky, and Ben is probably too sensible to do that.
Hopefully we should know soon, though.
Okay, I’ll admit it, I was wrong. Ben is more sensible than Steffi, but on this occasion awesome trumps sensible.
I suppose your idea would be what he would have in mind if he didn’t have that ace up his sleeve.
Taser trumps everything.
I love Natrix’s face and expression so much… ‘specially in panels 3 and 4.
Aaaaaand now we see why Raccoon wants this dude arrested.
All previous sympathy: Gone. Replaced by shuddering fear-horror-killit-killit-killit.

Discretionary?
Cube, I think “discreet” is the right word for that context. I’m fairly sure that “discretionary” means something else – though I may be wrong.
Anyway, I simply cannot wait for the next update! D:
I don’t think Natrix has legs. I think his torso just continues into a snake-tail that he stands on.
You see his legs just fine in the last page.
You see what looks like legs. Steffi has one leg, and appears normal too.
Wouldn’t that be so sweet though?
Oh what, gross! She is too young.
I am into Rabbits, not Bunnys.
I still don’t see him being that creepy, in all honesty. Criminal or not, his expression seems more friendly than conniving.
My first thought at panel 4 was “Stranger danger! Stranger danger! Stranger danger!”. He seems way too friendly.
Natrix entered the chat room.
Natrix: ASL?
Natrix is coming off a bit too interested in her age, making me wonder if his interest is underage girls.
Na, the bear is out there though. See 277.
Probably it’s the opposite.
Depending on what he thinks they’re ”buying” he might not be interested in dealing with minors.
Well the Chandra DID want him arrested cause he was creepy :y
Its so easy how things can go instantly downhill with a single simple question…..
