The silence left by Charlotte's departure lasted exactly three seconds.
Then something began to move inside Victor's pants pocket.
Natasha immediately narrowed her eyes.
Victor also noticed the strange movement and slowly lowered his gaze to his own pocket, clearly already imagining exactly what was about to happen.
Serafall was the first to sigh.
"Ah… so they were still there."
Before Natasha could ask what exactly she was talking about, two small black shapes exploded out of Victor's pants pocket like desperate bats trying to escape a coffin buried alive.
The two creatures flew across the hall completely uncontrollably, bumping into each other in the air while screaming simultaneously.
"GET OFF ME!"
"YOU'RE THE ONE PUSHING ME!"
Natasha's eyes widened as she watched the two bats crash directly into the living room chandelier before falling to the floor in a chaotic mass of wings, screams, and insults.
The next instant, the transformation undid.
