If anyone here is secretly possessed, I need to speak with you.

No, wait: ]

This is not a trap.

[ There. ]

[Dead silence for a short time. And then, in a slightly tight tone:]

You having family didn't... occur to me.

[exequy]

Good. You are welcome to forget it now.

[justice_is_blond]

That'd be a little difficult.

[exsecutus]

Everyone has family somewhere. Occasionally in cupboards or more comfortably entombed. Kostos is lucky that he has a very living family who he loves writing letters to.

See, that was funny.

[justice_is_blond]

Not every mage knows about their birth family, let alone has contact with them.

[He wouldn't write his father, he would his mother, so he both understands why Kostos would and wouldn't.]

[exequy]

We're all aware.

[exsecutus]

Yes. And, shockingly, there are many, many others who could say the same. Which is what makes my brother so lucky.
