You joke, but yeah, they're probably studying big beetles or mantids or whatever (something visual), rather than biting insects. Insects that aren't going to be attracted to humans in the first place, and thus need not be repelled/wouldn't be repelled by the same repellant.

Well she's alone in the woods with a good looking Tony and a cabin for two.
This feels like a setup to something other than a webcomic.

Are there no bugs in the Forest?
Writer, or something. And... a button? 🖲️
They're about six feet long and try to eat you there.

The ecological niche of most bugs in the Forest is probably filled by pixies or something. Plus Surma's used to British Isles bugs, which means this thing is probably about a hundred times bigger than anything she's ever seen before.

Omega...Bismuth? Or maybe Taurus? It's not really quite either of those symbols. Edit: I guess it is bismuth, and I guess Tom's always drawn it that way. I thought the horns were longer and closer together.
More questions: Is Tony part of the House that has special powers, or one of the other ones? Because it feels like we're very close to actually learning something about what the Court is...actually...trying to do? And it would be pretty awful if the Court was actually trying to pair off its own students based on their abilities or something.

Is that a riddle? Sounds like it is.

He was working on the Omega Project even now? And is the bug thing just something he thought up to do for fun while he was there?

Likely they wanted him there so the official excuse is the bug trip. Which he also enjoys on its own.

We are learning, and they are learning about each other in a relaxed environment.
He's doing something shady he's a jerk again lets all go back to clinging to our intense resentment of this character.
Or maybe that's just my interpretation.

Were we shown Surma having a blinker stone?

Tony seems honestly invested.

Yeah, it seems like Surma could use a blinker stone.

I haven't resented Tony in quite a while.

I dropped it after awhile. Now I just wanna know what's up, also the Tony we're seeing seems genuine and honest, one who can smile and have a good time.
His wife died and his hand got chopped off.
Maybe he's specifically studying insect-repellent-resistant insects.
