"C'mon, do you take me for a complete idiot Toe?" he demands, the tone little better than a loving sibling. "Of course Flora has met my folks. In fact, she even met them without me, once."

It'd been an incredible gift in a time when he'd been struggling a lot. He values it immensely, both for the sentimental nature, and because it invokes that memory of first receiving it, where love had settled so fiercely into his chest that its warmth still echoes now in his fond smile.

"Get this," he continues, eyes widening a bit as he delivers the scandal. "Sohalia is dating Zavien now."

In fact, he starts to count off its arrival in his head.

I'm just smiling down upon my enemies
