“I would ask what happened, but you already said it’s none of my business.”

“Keep the tea to yourself, then. That’s fine too.”

“That narrows it down by…nothing. Incredible.”

“Who pissed in your pool today? Your mood is more sour than a freshly exorcised demon.”

“Leviathan, the Sin of Envy, giant sea serpent of a dragon…” Placing a lit cigarette between his lips with a chuckle. “I know him well.”

“Humble.” Head cocked to one side, flashing his teeth in a menacing smile. “I’m far more powerful than a regular god.”

“Blessings come from the god who gives them. In this case: me.”

“You can call me whatever you like, but I don’t rule over Heaven. Wrong god, I’m afraid.”

“You don’t care for blessings?”

“Bless you, my child.”

“Correct. There’s one in particular bothering our producer.”

Rumbling out a content purr. “Your faith in me is what keeps me going through these tough times… Thank you.”

“You and me both… I’m monitoring the situation as closely as I can.”

Lifting his head to nuzzle Artem’s cheek with a soft chuckle. “Don’t worry… I’m not reckless. I know how to stay undetected.”
