Ivan and Micah just escaped the clutches of Vargas, and ran to Jillian for help.
Ivan is not deterred by soft murmurs or the rustle of sheets.
"AH! What the..." Jillian said.
"EEP!" Micah ducked back under the hat.
"Jillian. There is a giant naga under the house. I suggest you shoot it with your boomstick."
"It's a rifle, Ivan." Micah whispered.
"I demand you shoot it at once."
What? OUT! BOTH OF YOU!!" Jillian shouted and kicked the two off the bed.
"I am so embarrassed..." Micah muttered.
"Fine. I shall defeat him myself. Come Micah! To arms!"
"So... kids, huh?" Maric reached for a soda. "You didn't mention kids."
"They're not ... mine." Jillian said. "But does it bother you? Kids I mean?"
"No, not really. I like kids well enough." He shrugged. "That little guy with the long hair was odd, though."
"They ... ah, have a rare condition." Jillian said. "We'll talk about it later."
"Later sounds just fine." Maric said.
