Etienne sat on the couch in the living room, reading the multitude of messages from Money slowly. The TV blared in the background loudly as Gabe attended to his normal duties close by.
"Good afternoon, this is Ellie Moreno with the SNN, your Super News Network. Six months have passed since the public last saw or heard from the King of Esoterica. Speculation continues to grow that the king is currently missing. The Esoterica Royal Family refuses to comment on the matter."
Etienne grabbed the remote and turned the TV down. He tapped on a voicemail from Money and put it up to his ear.
"Hey Prince," Money began. His voice was distressed and raspy, far from his usual demeanor, "I know you're busy and still acclimating to regular life. If I went through what you did, I might never show my face outside again."
