You really do... I have to admit, I'm surprised.

[A beat, as Riddle considers not speaking before he just says, sort of in a rush:]

It's probably because of her bad...bad temper.

[Liam is making a valiant effort to not crack up, as Livna blinks a few times before chuckling.

Allen, meanwhile, is grinning.]

Perhaps so. She's always been like that--I'm pretty sure she gets that from our mother; she had quite the temper, too. Caden always did enjoy testing both of them.

[Livna's shaking her head, but smiling.]

...is Uncle Caden a drug lord? Allen made it sound like he might be one.

We're... pretty sure he's not, but... I've never been entirely certain--

Liam!

It'd make sense!

[Livna is clearly ignoring that as she addresses Riddle again.]

While it's true we don't have a solid idea what he does, I'm fairly certain Caden isn't a drug lord. [A beat.] I'm also fairly certain what he gets up to isn't precisely legal, however.

Pyramid schemes?

Oh, no, he's definitely not that type-- and thank goodness for that.

[That makes Riddle hmph.]

Good. Otherwise I might have to take off his head.

[He pauses, realizing what he just said. And to who.

How to explain your UM to the aunt and uncle you just met? And also Overblotting?]

... Pardon?

[Liam remains quiet, but his expression is clearly concerned.

Allen just brushes his shoulder against Riddle's. He's... here for moral support...?]

...my Unique Magic. I've had it since middle school. It's called "Off With Your Head", and it lets me prevent someone from using any magic by a...a collar-type lock around their neck.

Ah, I see...

[She is, at least, slightly less concerned!

Liam lets out a low whistle.]

Since middle school, huh? That's pretty impressive.

Mm. Mother didn't want me to go to high school without it.

[So unlike, say, Azul, who found his because he wanted to find his early, Riddle didn't have a choice.]

Ah, I see...

[AND WE'RE RIGHT BACK TO CONCERNED. If Livna hadn't cut ties with Raven, she swears she would have a word with her sister about that...

Liam's quiet for a moment or two more, before he pipes up--]

Well, at least that discovery was probably more dignified than Allen figuring out his.

[--Which prompts Allen to go bright red and start sputtering.]

Dad!

---wait, Allen has his Unique Magic?

[Looking at his cousin now.]

What is it? How'd you find it?

Portals, basically-- and we are not talking about how I found it!

[Excuse Liam practically dying of laughter...]

I was a pretty clumsy kid, and that's all I'm saying on the matter.

[Oh, Riddle is already trying not to laugh.]

Portals? And clumsy?

Drop it and leave it alone, Riddle.

[HUFFING.

Livna laughs quietly.]

Now, now, let's not embarrass Allen too badly...

I could make you write an essay on it, you know. I am your Prefect.

[He won't, but.]

And I would sooner spend a month collared, no thank you.

I mean, if you need that to make sure you don't have any more accidents--

That's not funny!

Now, now...

[A little giggle.]

Sorry, Allen. It's cute.

Easy for you to say...

[There's a little grumbling, but there's no bite to it. If anything, Allen seems relieved.]

It is! As long as you weren't hurt?

I did get injured, yes.

[Which probably explains why it's a bit of a sore (hah) spot.]
