Author Notes:
As foreshadowed last year, we'll now go visit Babette's family.
Tarik is of Turkish descent and (like the majority of Turks) of Muslim background, though personally he is living a rather secular life.
Also, Tarik makes the point here that the modern day common usage of "Luddite" for people who are simply stubborn technophobes is a bit of a shift from the term's original meaning.
User comments:
He, Babette and Cleo breaking out the Diomedian horses again for traveling to their destination is a funny thought, though...
(BTW, one can tell that he doesn't e.g. take Islamic dietary rules very seriously by that fact that we have already seen him drinking alcohol several times...)
(However that doesn’t mean everyone’s going places. Good luck to this “meet the parents” stunt.)
I was to lazy to come up with a good character design for Babette's motherBabette's mother is already deceased.We'll see Babette's sister and her sister's spouse instead.
