-233- [Return from a Long Absence]

[impure_tale]

[The sound of happy barking in the background.]

It would seem that I took an unexpected leave of absence. My apologies to everyone I did not speak to beforehand, and it is my sincerest hopes that I did not give you a fright.

To the many new arrivals that have come in the time I have been gone: Welcome, and enjoy your stay.

To all others: Happy New Year?

What? What might me avoided?

[impure_tale]

A joke, dear. I said I did not wish to worry anyone.

[megamind]

Well, I'm-- sorry. I had hoped you came and went of your own volition.

[impure_tale]

There is no need to apologize. I am not the sort, however, who would choose to leave so suddenly without saying a word of goodbye to my friends and loved ones first.

[megamind]

Well, yeah... but a guy can hope that you just-- went on vacation.
