Finn gave a grunt of acknowledgment, closed the lid, and hefted the thing up the remainder of the stairs with an effort worthy of the Age of Heroes (in his mind anyway.)

"Alright," he said, when he reached the door. "You folks wait here," I'll be right back with the cart."

Finn arrived at the Manse, where Joss was to introduce him to a contact in the underworld. Finn was more than a little nervous, which is why he'd written a letter to Danyella and Mariya about his whereabouts to be delivered if something happened to him.

Finn wrapped on the door.
