Good storyline! I could read the girl's emotion from her posture(bewilderment at being rejected - is that what you intended?) and the panel with Vassily's horror-struck face close up is excellent. I like the development of his relationship with Kali and I think there's more emotion there that you could explore. How does his attitude to her protective role change, now that he's been frightened? Does he confide in her? Or perhaps in one of the other characters? Is his attitude to women maturing or has this experience sent him further into desire/fear objectification? Am I over-analysing? ;-P at least it shows your story is interesting!
