Adrien sniffled a bit - he looked down, trying to avoid showing his patchy face to Val. His fingers tightened onto the staff. "Thank you", he said. He wiped his face with his handkerchief, then went to prop the staff against a cabinet. "Is it okay if I leave it here for now?".

"Of course", Val said, taking his seat back on the armchair. "You can use it whenever and wherever you want, too".

"I -- I can?".

"Of course you can. At this point, I trust you to cast magic responsibly, without my supervision".

Adrien couldn't help but giggle in response to that. "Should you really give me this much power?".

Val chuckled. "...Perhaps not", he said. "But I will anyway. Or, at least, if you must explode things, warn me first".

Adrien took a seat at the table. "I'll try to", he laughed.

The Gifts of Darkness - Chapter 20 - Page 10

This is the last update that will come from the apartment in California; next week, my wife and I are moving back to Italy, in the town in Puglia where I was born and grew up. We are moving into a gorgeous old building in the historical part of town. It is very exciting.

We will be able to move into the building in early September, so we will spend all of August at my family. For this reason, you may consider the comic to be in partial hiatus for a month; I will continue working on new pages and stuff whenever possible, but I imagine I'll have lots of other things to sort out - all the stuff for the new house and the moving back process, and also it's been 4 years since the last time I've been there and seen my family. Thank you for your continued support, and see you again from beautiful southern Italy.
