That makes sense to me -- keeping the shop open, that is. Although given the recent restrictions on shipping, I don't think it would be too suspicious if Lazlo experienced a sudden (temporary) drop in stock while we get everything sorted out. And there's the shipment we got over Christmas to hold the shop over for a little.

I'm sorry about Regulus, dearest. I know it was something we all suspected, but I'd imagine it was a hard blow for you to hear it directly from Molly. He seems so lost and sad. I know it can't be enough, but I truly believe that whatever he's doing is under duress.
