Description
Shard and Jordis have a fun outing in the wilderness of the Reach. It ends relatively well, depending on interpretation.
This comic kind of mirrors some of the other Skyrim comic makers in this community, who have also mocked Skyrim's marriage system - the ones I can remember off the top of my head are Janus3003 and Sir-Douglas-of-Fir, who both poked fun at how rushed the whole romance aspect is. I instead decided to tackle it from a different angle, which is basically that I'm joking about how you require an Amulet of Mara, that the NPCs seem to somehow sense whether or not you're wearing one, that specifically wearing one is what triggers the conversation in the first place... hell, the fact that lore-wise people only ever are supposed to wear them if they're looking for marriage. Like, what if I want a 10% restoration bonus? Or how about all the random hostiles I kill that are wearing it, was Random Witch #3 planning to propose to Random Witch #5 before I raided their witch lair? Iunno, it just kinda bugs me.
Another thing I'm mirroring here is this seeming trend of having comic makers 'handle' Jordis, so to speak, which I attribute to Janus for starting it by making his own Jordis a villain. Then HelloMyNameIsEd had his Jordis possessed by Mephala, Doug's Jordis got intimidated into submission by Aela, Conn1321 just kinda stopped using his Jordis, and SereglothIV and LadyMetaRose I don't think even used her in the first place? And that's all the Skyrim comics I've read, but the point is, Jordis is basically a trope now. So, how will Shard deal with Jordis in my comic? By marrying her of course! I think this comes as a surprise to absolutely no one, given that she was prominently featured in my comics about the Forgemaster and the ox leg, not to mention that one screenshot just after I killed Ahzidal and was still riding the high from Dragon Aspect. Plus, Lydia isn't really Shard's type when you think about it. Or he's not her type, rather. Lydia always seems to fit better with the selfless hero types like Julius and Archer and Obi-Wan and John... god she's really popular isn't she. But Shard is just kind of a huge dork. And so is Jordis. They're perfect for each other. Now what I wonder is how a meeting between Shard's dorky good Jordis and Julius's yandere evil Jordis would go.

It's actually nice to see somebody picking Jordis instead of Lydia. 
I used her as a follower quite a lot, just with a different character, not with Obi-Wan, so she didn't really have any occasion to appear in my comics.
