Jean calls ahead before showing up, though surprise of all surprises since I keep forgetting to include him in threads they've brought Hungry with them, the Ghastly floating just behind Jean's shoulder with an over-serious air. Every now and again Jean throws the creature a bit of fish over their shoulder, which he catches without ceasing his expression of Great Seriousness which one might otherwise associate with - and all credit to Mister Neil Gaiman for this comparison - small children and mountain gorillas.

Knock knock.
