C272: Line Out

When Phy informed about Fur visiting their house the whole family started preparing for something grand. The sculpture industy are thristy to have the Cinnamon family as a guest. When Phy picked them up. He was glad his parents went overboard in sending their family engine. It's Fur with a bunch of kids.

Phy introduced himself and was surprised to hear how the kids were well mannered.

When they entered the mansion. They got welcomed by a confetti with violen played live as they entered. Urchin felt like they entered a wedding ceremony not a get-together house.

Fur got overwhelmed and whispered at Phy.

"Are you sure we entered the right door. It felt like someone is getting married."

Phy snickered and eyed Fur.

"Nope, it's just them going extravagant for you."

Phy's father looked old. His bald head and small face shows how his waist might break in every step. When the old man introduced himself. The kids bow their head back at him. When Phy seated with them on the long table the old man spoke.

"Phy, don't be shameless and eat later."

Phy gripped his fork and spoon but Ole suddenly spoke.

"But he is the reason why we are here."

The old man just faked a laugh and answered.

"Young lady their is a custom within the house that those who are unethical cannot merge with the main table."

"I see, the maybe you can't eat with us." Ole pointed.

Fut was about to halt Ole but Sycamore held Fur'a hand. A sign that Ole knew what she is doing. Fur glanced at Phy who looked amused with Ole.

The old man raise his eyebrows in irritation and tried to inquire calmly as possible.

"Why so? But this is my house."

"Yes, but you said unethical. Isn't that it's unethical to drive away your own family to eat when it's time to eat. My grandpa said so."

The old man had no choice but to allow Phy and reconsider the child's word since she is a guest.

"I see, then let us eat." The old man stated.

"Apologize!" Urchin uttured before everybody can eat their fill.

The old man tilted his head.

Urchin looked directly on the old man's eyes and said.

"Apologize for calling your own family shameless." His tune were more of royalty not of demand. He was like a prince of justice that suddenly entered the long table.

Phy can't hide his awe when his old man apologize. The kids were intriguing his curiosity more than he expected.

"Sorry, for having the kids." Fur explained

Phy just wave it off but deep within he is glad that Fur understood his message.

The mansion were full of sculpture that looked the same as the one in the museum.

"Your father really liked old people to sculp with as his model." Fur muttured intending to catch any sign or clue from Phy.

"It's not my father, it's my step mother." Phy corrected as he lead them to the art room.

"This are collection of your paintings. You see our family is your fan." Phy spoke.

Sycamore observed how Phy would occasionally had his eyes roving to survey their every move. Gladly Ain came with Kahieli and Nimrod. Ain had transformed them into tiny people as they freely investigate the area.

Urchin, Sycamore, Ole and Cherith was the actual companion of Fur.

Phy glanced at Urchin who was admiring the laminated family picture. Ole stared at the painting made by Fur. Cherith played with the cloth wall in the artroom as Sycamore pace toward phy unnoticed and allowed Phy to bump at him. Sycamore juat wave it off and stood up. He gave the signal that he got all the details.

Ain, Nimrod and Kahieli took every clip that they needed. After the meal they trailed the old man and heared how he was pissed toward Ole and Urchin. The woman with a salacious tone comforted the old man. When Ain heared how the woman tried to allure the man. Ain knew that she is not an ordinary human. When the old man left, a younger man who resembles Phy came in and heared how the man adressed the woman as mother. Ain took a short peek and instantly covered Kahieli and Nimrod's eyes. Ain can see how the woman sipped in the man's youth.

Ain sliced the space and took a glance of the woman but was almost spotted. He diverted his slice outside of the mansion. When Phy send them home, His eyes held sadness and releief. Fur assured him that he is there for him. When Ain spoke about what they witnessed, Fur confirmed it with Phy's line.

"Yes, Phy also mention that it is his step mother who collect the old sculptures."

Sycamore gazed at them and said.

"I saw it. He is the demon's host. She would eat the male's youth and would have Phy sculp it."

"Maybe the old man is jealous since his wife fancies his son." Ain added.

"Also the old is only 46 years old. For him to look like that means his youth got sapped out." Fur stated.

"Phy mentioned a while ago that his step mother loves to wonder when the moon wanes." Fur added.

"It means tomorrow night, some thing might occur." Sycamore pitch in.

Agsus studied the clip and noticed more details.

"Look, the older brother's skin is starting to get wrinkly." Ole pointed.

"I bet Phy is well secured by the woman that is why he is hated." Urchin commented.

"But since when? I was always with him and I did not notice anything wrong." Fur muttered.

"Maybe, as a friend he did not allow you to view that side of their family." Agsus said.

"Your his first friend and it would really put him on a spot where he spoke of the supernatural but will you believe him?" Kish voiced out from the counter. Selah gigled and grabbed Kish's hair.

"I am not sure either." Fur admitted as he stared at the clips they acquired.
