A flat-color drawing of AU Lyle Wainfleet & Ellie set ~5 years after QL defect to have her. He has patchy, outgrown hair/scruff (note: I didn't draw his hairline nearly fucked-up enough here💔), a dad bod, and the Awa'atlu equivalent of a farmer's tan—though subtle from the pinkish color palette.
Holding Eljay piggyback-style, Wainfleet looks out of the corner of his eye to where a scribbled note says "Jake doing some important shit offscreen idk" as he whispers conspiratorially with his daughter. Ellie has a gap-toothed look of awe, oblivious to the fact that her dad is 110% yanking her chain and trying to hide his clear amusement about it.

TRANSCRIPT
L: You know when I first met him he almost got eaten? Pretty much saved his life.
E: How?
L: Security escort. So basically if I wasn't there, I mean, who knows? I just let him take the credit 'cause he was real embarrassed
(so don't go telling anyone).
E: (excited) Didja break any bones??
[in a small sketch at the bottom, Lyle turns around with a deflated look at his spawn]
L: Why is your first question always if I got horribly injured. (Thinking/muttering to himself) Are you hoping I'll say yes??
___
Ellie, equally unaware that she's ruined his fun, is unphased.
