Since the characters are for the majority hundreds of years old you can imagine that there is a lot of backstory. It seems that we got a nice chunk of a flashback of it in this volume.
In the previous volume this was handled more as telling history or sharing gossip which was amusing because of the lens it was told from. For the flashback it was more of a lived experience so not much humor.
I'm still enjoying the story and since it is predominantly character based with some "baddie-of-the-week" elements the previous experiences of a nigh immortal character are integral.
