Soon enough, Barbara left the house, got into her car, and drove off, allowing the boys and trolls to go downstairs so they could continue their talk and watch her leave.

But unfortunately for Aaarrrgghh!!!, due to his large size, he started knocking things over in the living room, and bumping his head on the lighting fixture on the ceiling. The commotion caused Jim and Toby to look away from the window and back over at the large troll.

"Your cave... too small." Aaarrrgghh!!! groaned as he knocked off stuff from the coffee table and a bookshelf in the corner of the room. Deciding to not cause anymore trouble, the large troll backed into the arcway that led into the room, while Jim and Toby started to pick up the mess.

"I do have to ask Master Jim, how did you know about Kanjigar dying? I was under the assumption that humans don't know about the existence of trolls." Blinky asked as he stood over Jim while he picked up the books from the floor, making him look up at him.

'Yeah, I was wondering when he would mention that,' Jim thought to himself.

"About that... I sort of got a history lesson from my sister during school today. She told me alot about your guy's past," Jim explained while Toby walked to the VHS's that fell from the bookshelf. All while Jim's answer left Blinky surprised.

"You have a sister?" Blinky asked, shocked with the development, as he hadn't yet seen any evidence around the house that pointed to this being the case.

"Yep. The reason why she isn't here though... is a bit of a long story," Toby admitted as he began to pick up some of the VHS's on the floor, glancing over at Blinky as he spoke.

"Even so, how would she know so much about our history?" Blinky asked, not understanding how a human would know so much about trolls.

"She recently became a Miraculous Holder. And if she finds out I told you, she will absolutely kill me," Jim realized as he picked up another book. He knew that if he said anything more than he needed to, Marinette would absolutely find a way to skin him alive.

But he needed Blinky to know that he... sort of trusted him. And since he was honest with him this far, Jim might as well be too.

"Your sister is a Miraculous Holder? There hasn't been one in nearly 200 years!" Blinky exclaimed, getting excited that there were new Miraculous Holders in the world.

'And closely related to the new Trollhunter, no less.' the six eyed troll thought to himself.

"Well, Marinette is one now, alongside her partner. They defend their hometown of Paris on the daily," Toby explained as he picked up more VHS's from the floor, revealing more about Marinette's hero life. The answer left Blinky very surprised.

"Really? Might I ask which Miraculous she and her partner are in their possession? Does it have anything to do with the names Tobias mentioned earlier? Uh... Ladybug and Chat Noir, correct?" Blinky asked, wanting to know more about the new Miraculous Holders. But that particular question triggered Jim and Toby's protective instincts.

"Hey, Marinette doesn't need to get involved with all of this. And if you think you can drag her into it, then you can shove off." Jim exclaimed as he stood up, dropping the books in his arms while jabbing a finger into Blinky's chest.

"Yeah, she's only thirteen. She already has enough on her plate." Toby added, accidently copying Jim's example and joining Jim in defending their little sister.

"Only thirteen? And she has been chosen for a Miraculous? She must be very special," Blinky praised, noticing the two boy's protectiveness of their, apparently, younger sister.
