"No," says Ienzo, as innocently as he can manage. "I did, but it disappeared. And as for who does the cleaning, I mostly try to look after myself, but." It occurs to him that he's going to have to explain the Bees to Bertie's aunt. He is filled with a creeping sense of dread, not unlike the one time he was unfortunate enough to encounter Maleficent herself on one of his missions. It's probably for the best to try to get her to understand before calling any of them in, since he's fairly certain an abnormally large Bee would be fairly alarming to someone not adequately prepared to encounter one.
"Bertie's London - your London is populated solely by humans, isn't it? All animals present are simply animals not not Animals." It should be noted that Ienzo uses different words for lower and uppercase "animals" here, the latter implying a much higher capacity for learning. "Because that isn't the case in a great many worlds, which have sapient representatives of a great many other members of the animal kingdom, and some plants as well. There's some debate of course as to why there appear to be no examples of non-sapient humans when there are so many of every other creature, but I digress. The Incipisphere was one such world, and Bertie brought some of its natives here with him and they've been helping to look after the place. Would you like to meet them?"
Nervously, he starts to prepare a spell. For what exactly he isn't sure, but the nice thing about shields and illusions is they're helpful in a great number of situations, especially when it comes to defusing awkward encounters. He has a strong feeling this is going to be an awkward encounter.
