"We invited you, you know?" Victoria said, resting her head on her palm. "Yet you never answered. Astaroth had hope that you were just gone somewhere, but I thought you had simply forgotten about your friend."
Rael rolled his eyes. "How could I forget someone so annoying? No. I just couldn't really make it, since I was stuck in a place where time was considerably slowed down, while time out here was significantly sped up. For me, around a day and a bit had passed, while for you, it had been close to two decades, I believe."
That would definitely explain how and why Astaroth had so many children now.
Anyhow...
"Are you mad at me?" Rael asked.
Victoria thought about it for a moment, then shook her head.
