Leonid chuckled at the automatic answer he was given. He did appreciate that very much. He settled more comfortably into his seat as he listened to Victor speak. Whatever he had been expecting had most certainly not been the words uttered. He blinked in shock for a moment as Victor described how he had come upon his wife, still as a corpse with her eyes open. He had not heard of any death announcement for a Mrs. Daphnel.

He felt like he was missing a large puzzle piece here, such as why the woman had gotten angry. But the 'back in her body' part clicked things into place for him for part of the whole thing at least. "Sounds like she had taken Spiritus Sancti," Leonid explained, now understanding how confusing and blindsiding that must have been for his spectral lover. "And she had given no hint at all that she might be doing so? That had to be shocking to see her as a corpse with no ample warning."
