(And, for those of you wondering, "Hey, didn't these two only have to work together for a month, which is thus now over? Has Lycaenion really rotted that many braincells on the computer to forget?" I reply that the Marquis was so pleased with their change in output -and, let's face it, reassigning them would make them very happy indeed, and no proper Flower wants that- that he's officially stuck them together until further notice.
It also doesn't help that Teek is impulsive and hot-headed to a fault and needs watching, and that Crelmos, given the slightest chance, will sneak in lab equipment, grab an unwary subject or two, and start his old experiments again. The amount of annoyance and fury they inspire in each other will, it is hoped, distract them from doing anything damaging, and act as a largely sufficient punishment.
I plan to write an interlude to this effect at some point. But regardless of all this, we now return to our regularly scheduled mission.)
