on returning from a hiatus

[phrenesis]

Enough lazing about, child, there is much work to be done. Oh- no no no, don't doubt me, we have made plenty of progress since the last time you felt the need to remind me of my current predicament. [ with a vaguely theatrical flair to it: ] The wand can wait, as long as you effectively allow us both to return to my prospective allegiances.

[ allegiances with demons, Bella, and you insist on misguiding your little cousin. what a charming personality you have ]

I will give you this week, girl, any longer and we will have a far worse encounter than just this conversation.
