Kyryll, didn't we already establish this? I'm pretty fuckin' sure you've introduced at least four different people to me as your "grandchild".

Is there another one?

[lanternae]

[Ah. He should've phrased this better. To be honest, his head has been buzzing like a beehive ever since he found out, so putting things into words as elegantly as he usually does is hard.]

No, not another one.

How do I put this.

Two of the four "grandchildren" are now grandchildren.

You're drunk, go back to sleep.

It is times like these I wish my behavior could be blamed on alcohol.

I was keeping an eye on Jun and Harumasa in the hospital after the events, making sure they were safe by being their lantern. They brought up an email that listed their family heritage, as far back as the nineteenth century.

A time period I was briefly stationed in Japan, after the borders re-opened.

Husk. They are 3% Russian.

[Surely you can do cat-math. You see where he's going with this?]

[wiseoldbartender]

I don't understand what the fuck this has to do with-

[ Give him a sec, he's doing the cat-math. ]

Oh. OH.

...That'd make one really fucked up episode of Jerry Springer. Congrats on the extra added family to your line. [And because he DOES knows this is important to him - that the Flins line continues...] How're you feeling about it?

Naturally, I'm ecstatic.

I was satisfied having Lauma as my only blood relative. Just knowing our House had lived to the modern era is more than I can ever hope for. Two grandchildren has lifted me so much I fear I may have to find residency on the moon.

The woman's name was Haruki. She was a bit of a tease, a trickster--that was how we bonded during my stay. So I suppose she had gotten the last laugh in the end, in a way I couldn't have ever imagined.

But.

[But there's always a 'but'.]

I did not express this to those two, as they seemed shocked enough by the news. When we came to that conclusion, I realized that had I known. Had Haruki simply told me, there was a chance I could have saved them from Krusnik.

I worked with Krusnik refugees, Husk. They were within arms reach, and yet my light never reached them.


I'm both proud and ashamed at the same time.
