( her clown... where is he. it's almost time for bed... he even missed dinner. there's not a lot that he seems to do outside of the house, but... hadn't he remade his old abode recently? maybe there.
walking across the town in the dark was wretched since her world went silent- even with vernal at her side, eden shifted small and resting on her shoulder with it's keen ears twitching, it feels
dangerous, in ways her life had never been before.
she simply lets herself into the research hall, calling in immediately because she has no idea how to find him otherwise: )
[Who would come meet her at the door other than Blue Cream, the cakehound. He runs up waggling his little tail so hard his butt moves. She cant hear him yap at her but she knows.]
[He will circle around her and then take off. Follow?]
[Through the newly restored Hall Blue Cream will lead her. The once burned and blood soaked ruins now something more reminiscent of its former glory, and a bit perhaps, of a certain someone’s personal touch.]
[Blue leads her to the library where Shadow Milk seems busy going through books and …perhaps writing some? He floats up while his staff floats with him, dozens of books float around him. If she could hear she would pick up on his humming, but alas he merely has a pleased look as he picks a book up and it suddenly fills with words? Then he shuts it and files it on a shelf.]
[Blue Cream barks at him and his hair puffs up, some of the books falling.]
( something about walking through this place that reminds her of being a child, of wandering through the halls of the academy. when blue cream finally brings her to the library, she beams up at him. )
( will she ever get used to the sound of a single voice echoing in her mind,the only thing that she can hear beyond her own thoughts? it's strange. but it's also a comfort. wild. )
It's already dark. And I know for certain you haven't eaten yet. Come on, now.
( lily reaches up and tug, tugs him a bit further down, linking her arm in his. )
These bodies needing to eat is a major skill issue on humanity's part ANYWAY!
[He says with the most dramatic sigh, but he is tugged easily like her little blue kite. Eventually his feet will touch the ground. He leans his weight into her, attempting to playfully knock her off balance.]
You know! We could just spend the night here. There's a bed upstairs and everythiiiing!
( there's a pause before she looks over, curious. )
Did you not need to eat before this place?
( the offer he gives is tempting though. crossing the dark town without a sound is- nerve-wracking at best. her only hesitation is pavlova- but he's also a responsible boy, isn't he? )
... If you can send a message to Pavlova Cookie to let him know we're here if he needs anything. I imagine this place must be comfortable for you.
Oh, I could if I wanted to, I guess, but it wasn't necessary. Not that I had a lot of time for things like that! Too busy being the all-knowing fount of answers to everyone's questions! Then, of course, there was the thousands of years I spent as a spirit!
[There's no bitterness there at all, but food is kind of fun. Eating is fun! He likes snacks and sweets which is why he loiters at the Cafe a bunch, drinking all their tea and eating desserts while he reads.]
Easy-peasy! I'm sure we'll find him curled up with all the dragons later.
[As for if this place is comfortable. He shrugs!]
It's mine, so of course it's up to my standards. Why don't I give you a tour? It looks way better now than it did before, obviously, but I made some changes!
Oh, I can make you a liiiiist! Sweets, pastries, things with a little bit of crunch but not TOO much! Nooot a big fan of spicy stuff, but a little cinnamon and clove are to DIE for! Oh, and PUDDINGS, puddings are delightful!
[Yap, yap, yap, yap-]
That's to be expected I think. This place was built from the ashes of the Hall once owned by Seamus. I'm sure your previous self once walked it, too.
[Considering how close they were.]
I'm in the process of trying to fill out the library but adding some Earthbread books, oooover this way is the classrooms! There's only a few but I suppose I couldn't just have an entire university in town, so what does what one must! The stairs are over here-
( lily listens, giggling softly. so many sweets! though it's to be expected, surely. they, themselves, are from a world of sweets. )
... I like floral flavors. But my favorite snack is goat cheese and honey on a big slice of bread. And I really like some of the savory things in this world! They're so unique, you'd never find them on Earthbread.
( she listens though, quiet and contemplative. she's sure lily did too. all three of them... )

[He hasn't come home in several hours and it's getting a little late. He might have missed tea, also? Where could he be, where could he be...]
[Perhaps the Research Hall?]

Shadow Milk. You know, it is awfully late...
no subject
It's not THAT late, is it? If I'm gonna put this place to use, It needs to be up to a parTIcular standard! And-
[he pauses to check the time. Straight up appears a little pocket watch from...somewhere?? Dwbi]
Oh.

( she also likes the cafe. they're so considerate, too- she knows they sell cookies, but she's never seen them when she comes in. )
... Well, you'll have to show me some of the things you love, later.
( she nods though at the confirmation, before looking around again. )
Okay. It feels very familiar...
... For obvious reasons.

Please, let me know if there's anything I can do.
