The Sciences, Part 2

I know I kinda did this gag before with the Wizard, where Hero doesn't have any say in the matter… but it's just so fun!

Sometimes in a story, a stranger will be kind enough to take the weary travelers into his own home, give them a hot meal and a bed, free of charge. And sometimes, they JUST DON'T WANT IT.

I should probably note something strange about this - while I'd figured out these two characters for a while, I hadn't actually DRAWN them. So they were basically thrown together at the last minute. Surprisingly, I think I did pretty well.

Originally, I think they were both supposed to have dark hair. Then when I drew her, I realized she looked a bit like an old friend of mine, and I almost made her blonde, and he'd have brown hair. In the end though, I decided Legendia needs more redheads.

Besides, I have a blonde coming in later.

So, who are these two unusual people? We'll find out soon enough. And what the heck kind of hat is he wearing? I… don't know, really. It's kinda flopsy though. I assume it (and probably his shirt) was made from a burlap bag. Because he's eccentric like that.
