Chapter 30: Xavier does his magic.

 Dean: Incubus, mage. Will do anything to keep his party together.

Allan comes back from his carpet buying mission, with Augustine's bottomless bag in tow. When he pulls out the carpet, I find the differences.

"This is the closest thing I could find," he says, when we are ready to argue. "Can your friend maybe drop her some hints, that this was her original carpet?"

"That will cost us extra," I sigh at that. Xavier is a cutthroat. Yet, he is the best pride demon there is. No one can do his level of mind magic.

We hear the doorbell, and Augustine rushes to open the door. Fortunately, Betty is still unconscious. She slept through the entire cleaning spree.

Xavier steps inside the house, and eyes the situation before him. I know what this all must look like. Us, with a woman slumped on the couch, and a small turtle, playing with the empty shell of her predecessor.
