You receive a message on your GHS from Alvin. It is a naughty picture of Muzet.
There are few he’s given his GHS number out to; receiving messages from those outside the Svent family are a rare occasion, leaving little surprise to register upon checking mobile device after the small ‘beep’ that constituted his alert. Casually the apparatus was flipped open--he might as well see what his cousin wanted this time, after all--
Except this wasn’t a text message. It was a photo. Of--

[text: Alfred Vint Svent:] Cousin. Have you ever heard the concept ‘private affairs’? Perhaps you ought learn it. Keep your affairs private. From me. Forever. [text: Alfred Vint Svent:] If not I’ll contact Balan and spread the stories of ‘Alfred the crybaby’ around every market in the combined worlds.
