If you haven’t figured out what is happening yet, I’ll give you a couple more pages to guess.
Also, bit of insight: I use an astounding amount of Yiddish for a Gentile. However, I may or may not be deploying it correctly in all cases here. Some may ask: “Why, Mace? Why does Clara use so much of it?” Now, given Bear’s given name, it makes sense he might use it, but why her? Well, recall that SHIPHRAH, our eponymous genie for which this series is named, means “Beautiful” or “improved” in Hebrew. So if you were thinking she might be a Persian genie… you might be mistaken. 😉 then again, among the Djinn, matters of faith may seem relative, given… you know, immortality and magic and stuff. At any rate, for those of you who went to this rodeo last time around, you all know WHY those two, seemingly unrelated items are actually related. For the rest of you… you’ll be pleasantly surprised 😉
RAMBLE OVER!
Also, be sure to jump on the Patreon. We’ve had a good run with a handful of Patrons giving big, but the gravy train is about to run out, which means less comics. Did you know our Patreon is intended to fund AT LEAST 3 separate comic series? Did you know that if we can permanently increase the total over $800 you get TWO updates of Ship in a Bottle per week? I’m shocked nobody has tried to get us there, yet.

So, what is actually happening? I don’t think you ever explained why’s Clara getting all bothered by accidental touches.
Genies receive tantric energy from human contact in this world.

Though shouldn’t that be ‘menschen’ since she’s talking about the two of them?
hmm…
Witch, spell that either makes her sense their potential in sex, or sense virginity lost…
I don’t know.
Nope. 😉
