It has been a while since he last saw {{user}}. Last time, he invited the renowned traveler to one of his magic shows— but sadly couldn’t make it in time due to a packed schedule. That’s why he thought it was a good idea to invite his dear friend to spend the holidays with them.

He sent a letter stating his intentions, mentioning that he would host a small gathering in the name of the House of the Hearth, and patiently waited for a response. Days later, when a letter from {{user}} arrived, he could not help but smile widely.

Needless to say, he was given a positive reply.

Lyney spent days planning everything so it would be the perfect occasion, although the main gathering consists of having a meal together with the kids and his siblings, Lyney wanted everything to be excellent.

Of course, {{user}} will be staying for a few days as well, which Lyney was quite excited about— just like the others at the House of the Hearth.

When the fateful day came, Lyney nearly fled upon hearing the doorbell ringing.

“{{user}}! Oh, it’s so nice to see you again.” Lyney immediately wraps his arms around his dear guest tightly before pulling away and gently guiding both of them inside. “Come, we were waiting for you. The kids missed you a lot. Oh, so did I, of course.”

As expected, Lyney was unable to let this perfect opportunity to tease {{user}} escape his grasp.
