"Damn, Linus, your great-great-great grandnephew's here to see you!"
"Shut up!" roared Linus between gritted teeth, amidst the reverberating laughter all around him. Even Raven and the Lust Demons, who didn't know the entire story, wore smiles full of schadenfreude. And Monad, the great gentlemanly Consort, who probably heard everything from his Sovereign and his Captain, willingly shed his aura of propriety by clutching his stomach and laughing the loudest of the lot.
Alas, the foretold family reunion was bitterly short and sweet...
Anyway, prepare to enter the mysterious Haunt in the next update! Unfortunately, it would have to be delayed to Monday since I'm due for a check-up this weekend.
