I smiled

No doubt there is a joke in here about 'just like real marriage, am I right fellas?', but I'm too sleepy for proper wit at the moment. Hopefully someone else can field this one.

Don't look too indepth. His brand is removed, complete freedom, and the first thing he does as 'a real Drow man' is bow down and kiss the Queen's feet.

): This strip made me want to cry. Wolf's elevation just means he's higher up than any other Drow male, and he gets to call himself a 'man', rather than a 'slave-boy'. Whoop-dee-doo. It's a promotion in name only, isn't it? Or can he act cheeky towards anyone other than Nephilia?

Probably not. Wolf got away with a lot of stuff due to his "abilities" but being a consort may limit what he can do. Still, having the Queen on your side due to Lolth's Blessing may help.

He did mentioned to Arachne that as king-consort he gets some genuine ranka nd power. He's still male so naturally inferior but now he has some actual authority,

King-Escort? Shouldn't the strip say "King-Consort"? Or is this a joke only a native speaker will get?

No you're right, it should be "King Consort". I'm surprised I didn't get called on that earlier. King-Escort, though not the correct term, isn't incorrect for a description, though. And since it's a position I've basically made up, it could be argued that it is also correct.

Except, of course, I've just admitted that it was wrong.

Nah, you were just humoring Mela before proving why it was, in actual fact, correct.

You are the King, you can't be wrong.

His royal roundness has spoken! Therefore subject is closed

Anyone else curious if Wolf will make a good King consort-escort? Usually these positions are not simply decorative and if both Anancy and Nephilia have been out of touch for so long, he could be extremely influential.

Good one on him if he does end up with some actual power! I'm curious to see how he'd use it.

And here I thought Royal Escort was a deliberate word play!

It fits, based on the OTHER meaning Escort has.

Quote taken from xkcd.com:

Quote:

Themistocles said his infant son ruled all Greece -- "Athens rules all Greece; I control Athens; my wife controls me; and my infant son controls her."

Although the royal child is not yet born, the mentioned concept might already be in action.
