[That gets Riddle to look over, bemused.]

Is Auntie Livna this...easy-going?

[He can't help but chuckle a little.]

Most of the time, yeah.

So who's the black sheep in the family, Mother or her?!

[Or their uncle.]

[Excuse him, he needs to stifle a snicker first--]

Neither, if you'd believe it. It's actually-- oh, you've definitely never met Uncle Caden, huh.

All I know is Mother refuses to acknowledge his existence, except when filling out family medical history forms. Should I be worried?

If you consider "comes around every six months with expensive gifts he won't discuss acquiring, also won't discuss what he's been up to while he's been gone, stays for dinner, then disappears for another six months" something to worry about, yes. Also, he smokes like a chimney.

...like, tobacco or....? Allen, is our uncle a drug lord?

It's definitely tobacco, but I wouldn't discount the drug lord thing. I don't know and at this point I'm too scared to ask.

I would be too.

[He finally gestures for Allen to sit down.]

...what does Auntie do?

[... Oh, right, sitting down, he should do that.]

Oh, Mom's a librarian.

And your...dad? Other parent? I don't--

Dad, yeah. He owns a flower shop.

Really? Which--wait, do you still live in the Kingdom?

Yes! Heavenly Blooms is Dad's shop.

Oh, Trey loves that one. I didn't Uncle...? What's his name?

Dad's name is Liam!

Liam.

[A small smile.]

...do you think we could video call them? Right now?

Yes, absolutely, they'd love to meet you!

[Give him a sec while he digs out his phone--]

[Riddle gestures for Allen to sit closer. He can't do anything about how exhausted he looks, but oh well.]

[And Allen will sit closer as he calls Livna. The woman's beaming as she picks up.]

Allen, good evening!

Hi, Mom. Is Dad around?

Of course--say, is that...?

...hi, Auntie.

[Riddle tries to smile, but it's mostly shy and shaky.]

Allen found me.

Riddle...! Oh-- Liam, honey, come over here, come meet our nephew!

[A man comes into view soon after, eyes widening briefly before he smiles softly.]

So you're Raven's boy, huh? Liv and I have been wanting to meet you for a long time.

[Maybe Riddle's getting emotional and teary eyed. He's had a rough day or so.]

I didn't even know about you, Uncle, sorry. Mother only mentioned Auntie once or twice, that was it. It's nice to meet you.

That's alright. Raven never really approved of me anyway. It's nice to meet you, too. Better late than never, yeah?

[Livna's pretty obviously emotional and teary herself, if it's any consolation.]

After all this time... Oh, I'm so glad to finally meet you, Riddle.

Likewise. [. . .] Mother was right. I do look more like Auntie than her.
