MHA #6, Sunday Evening

The last two days in the Kincaid-Price household had been, uh, interesting. First and most obviously, there was the appearance of some animal but not actually animal visitors. There had been Kestrel, of course, and then there'd been who had shown up claiming to belong to Verity:

"Jack."

"Your name is Jack."

"Yup"

"Jack the jackalope?"

"Yup."


The talking part of which wasn't even as startling as it might be for most. And that was because of the mice. Which led to the other really interesting thing: once they'd figured out that these animals- daemons- were in fact extensions of human souls, two schools of thought had immediately formed: those that believed the new arrivals needed to have names bestowed upon them so they could be properly worked into the canon, and those who believed that, as part of their gods, they were already covered, namewise.

That the daemons would likely disappear either tomorrow or in a few days, as is typical with Fandom, Did Not Matter, as it had been pointed out that They Have Always Been There, You Just Did Not Know It. Therefore, they would continue to exist once they've disappeared.

"For does NOT the Pilgrim Priestess search high and low for he God of Empty Rooms and Cold Regrets with no sign of him nor proof he still lives? Is not our entire life based around the faith of That Which We Feel But Can Not See?" remarked one of the acolytes early on in the discussion.

So that was the background noise as Liam (and Kestrel, who wasn't really much help per se but had Opinions) was in the kitchen, preparing some Ginataang Talong with some Deep Fried Cauliflower on the side. The eggplant had finished simmering and now it was just a matter of waiting for the deep fryer to finish as they waited for their guests.

"I'm just trying to keep you from feeling bad when my awesome culinary skills leave you in the dark," Verity lied.

"I am your wife," Verity informed him. "Half of them belong to me."

"They should have thought of that before not being here sooner," Verity announced.

"Convincing Jack not to encourage the mice?" Verity asked hopefully.

"Last time we did that, you burned dinner and somehow that was my fault," Verity sniffed.

...She knew what she'd done.

"Hey!" Verity protested. "Thems my rightful property!"

"Yes," Verity replied.

She could make that joke only because Liam knew she didn't mean it at all.

"You love my ass," Verity told him. "Also, I refuse to believe you didn't know I was going to plunder the cauliflower and therefore took steps to make sure it didn't affect dinner."

"I mean, you've met me even once and you are a super-pushover for the mice," Verity said thoughtfully. "So signs point to yes."

"No one is surprised by this," Jack said, hopping by the kitchen. "Literally no one."

"...He's not wrong."
