Song pushed her plate - which had originally been James' plate - across to Ren. There was still one whole slice of toast on it, untouched except for the coating of honey and cinnamon which Song had applied.
Then she turned her attention back to James.
"Alright. I'll tell you, but your sister's had a rough time lately. If you do anything to make it worse...."
She didn't finish the sentence, and she began the story in a brisk voice before anything else could be said.
"About a year and a half ago our friend Josiah acquired a magic book which came with a complimentary succubus. That part probably doesn't surprise you. And, being as fascinated as I am by demons and such, I had to go make friends. I'd like to say it was my winning personality, but I think it was just my persistence that overcame her usual dislike for other women. Either way, she got used to me and I got attached to her. Insert a few crazy shenanigans here, including a body switch between her and Josiah. While reversing that, the two of them soulbonded so that Lilith could have a bit more freedom without endangering the entire male populace. The side effect is that Josi's now half demon. You'll recall I said there were two others..." She paused for a sip of tea. "...Things go on, we win the War of Hearts, everyone's happy, and then Lilith's dead pirate decides to be undead and possess Josiah."
She stopped there, giving the others a chance to add anything if they felt like it, and trying to judge what James thought of the story so far.
