42.04 Local Hero
“Local Hero” Huge accolades often skim over the details and award the goal achieved. I find it is the small asides that mean the most.
Be careful out there.

Panel 1
In a more quiet location and from very close, Tik is having a moment holding a handkerchief up to nose to stem the sadness the gobo miner is trying to contain. Approaching from behind are the two gobos from the rally, the one in the wide-brimmed wizard hat with the gnarled staff and the other with the robes, tattooed facial stripe going over the scalp and bell-topped staff, ringing out a deep "Dūm Dūm" as the pair close within speaking distance.
Nob, narrating: "<After the rally.>"
Wizardly gobo: "<Tik! Gobo of the hour!>"
Panel 2
The scene flips and Tik - now in the (short) distance turns and responds. The gobo grins and points two fingers towards the pair, quickly masking the true emotions under a guise of mirth. The wizardly gobo, with arms spread, continues to approach while the one in robes is just entering view.
Tik: "<Hey now! This was a team effort!>"
Wizardly gobo: "<We were but the fuse to your planted bombs.>"
Panel 3
As Tik and the wizard meet, they give each other a hug. Tik smiles softly at the quiet words received during the embrace. The robed gobo, now more fully in view, glances to the left (and towards the viewer) curiously...
Wizardly gobo, whispering: "<You saved many.>"
Robed gobo: "<What's wrong with... was it "Nab"?>"
Panel 4
...and the point of view changes to what is seen: Nab sitting on a chest, head in hands and back to the viewer. The gobo is flanked by a barrel and a sack, set to the right of the corner of a wooden structure - most likely the rear of the building attached to the stage.
Tik, offscreen: "<It is. The rally was... eye opening.>"
Robed gobo, offscreen: "<In many ways.>"
