2-01 - A new complication

"...can we have this conversation another 10 meters away from the village?"

I'm looking forward to learning what this Demon's beef is with Flux.

2-02 - Only an idiot would attack an Angel as a fake Demon

All this shouting this close to town is going to do wonders for Flux's ability to keep their secret.  :|

I was already leaning towards "Unhand my girlfriend", but now I suspect the newcomer is also our missing Clan Daryil member.

Flux is actually non-binary.  I had to quickly pull the Bluesky version and repost it because I referred to them as "he" in the alt text...

And yes, also on Bluesky I pointed out to Merlin that it was starting to look a little like Raiders of the Lost Ark where the situation would have more-or-less resolved itself if the protagonist had stayed in bed.
Merlin's response was that it would have resulted in a number of dead villagers, to which I pointed out that Flux is now exposed not far from the village, and if they find out and get antsy, that too could result in dead villagers.

The matching tops were a nice hint about their relationship.  As for the Demon being the missing Daryil clan member, we'll have to see...

That and it's basically the core of 'Cubi fashion.

I like to think the core of Cubi fashion used to be "nothing at all" and was reluctantly changed.

2-04 - Help? Help.

One does not usually drop all masks and bravado at the mention of Daryil. Either the faux demon is our missing Cubi, or said Cubi is their third. Time will tell.

Given her wing colours, my money's on Tati being the one.

2-05 - Worry more about Daryil being mad, I'd say

Why do I get the feeling that Flux's plan to brew a 'Dads, don't be mad' potion will either blow up in their face or somehow cause more trouble?

Yeah, this plan is getting decidedly bizarre.

"Ritual"  the Furrae equivalent of "I shall fetch my finest crystals and essential oils."

Betrayer! Snitch! But also quite unexpected!

Damn, I was half expecting the bizarre plan to continue for at least a small bit.

At least now we know who her dads are.
