"Of course you did! Oh, I forgot to introduce you to my boyfriend, Theo."

"Sure. Your boyfriend, Theo. Hi. I'm the best friend, Lan."

"Oh, she's mentioned you."

"...so me and Trix are heading upstairs if nobody needs us."

"Don't need us." Upstairs? Upstairs! Beatrix's room is not completely moved in, but has a very important feature: a soft bed.

Well, he'll make himself at home, then.

He leans back, arms folded behind his head. He gives her his most "come hither" look.

Well, in that case she can pounce on him and start kissing.

"So what did you guys find out?"

"Someone has murdered Wiccan practitioners. I don't suppose you know anything about that?"

"...in the past few days?"

"Lan didn't give a specific timeline, but I think so."

"One of them might have been."

Felicia shivers.

"We should compare notes then, and one of them means that not all of them? Do you have any of what is the... population density of demonic creatures?"

"Most of them live in Hell. The few that are actively up here wouldn't cooperate with a census. There's at least hundreds of thousands of individual demons, but anything beyond that is hard to guess. Only some kinds breed."

"Okay, do you remember if you killed someone at," she gives the addresses that Lan gave them.

If they hadn't unhugged before, they have now.

"That one," he interrupts after one of them is said out loud. "The one on Tapper Street. She had geokinesis. Good for moving rocks to make a place to stay."

Well, if they have unhugged now, then Felicia will hug him.

Hug.

He's apparently feeling clingy all of a sudden.

"The rest aren't mine. Could be any warlock or demon."

"Alright... do you know enough to tell if it should be just one other warlock or demon?"

Cling. "You could consult the book of shadows."

"The Book should help. It has most species catalogued, or so they say. It's probably not a warlock if they didn't stab the victims."

"I will check."

Felicia squeezes him and pulls him upstairs.

"The plan was to marry you in our way. That would turn you into a warlock, and then it would be easy to bring Trix to our side. Fernanda would be the harder sell, but she's always had more ambition than the whitelighters like."
