[Omori waits the prescribed three days, then shows up at Adam's door. He doesn't have a knife in his hand, at least (it's in his pocket).

[He knocks, then waits.]

[This place is a goddamn disaster and the creatures to be fought range from weak to otherworldly powerful. The lowlifes he's stumbling across more prevalent - another creature knocked out under his heel, incapacitated, but alive.

The enthralled can be tenacious. It's annoying. He would love nothing more than to end the lives of those at his feet, but he can't risk the attack on his image. The moments he's under the Green Knight's control are difficult enough to compensate for. He doesn't need the additional difficulties.]

Is anyone here?

[Arrakis was badly shaken when he was freed from the Green Knight's call. Deep down he was terrified of his magic and the Green Knight had shown everyone the monster he was always running from. He couldn't think about that right now though, not when there was something far more important. Night Sky.

His glowing eyes burned brighter as his rage resonated with his magic. He refused to let the Green Knight use her to harm the people she cares about. He shaped his magic into a serpentine dragon made of wind and he used the wind's momentum to leap into the air as he started his search. Where was she?

When he saw someone who looked like they were running away from something he landed with a rush of wind.]

What are you running from?

[His tone was sharp with urgency. Honestly it was a long shot but he had to find Night Sky before it was too late.]

[A curious eye spies a familiar rodent by lake omen. Don't ask why Omori's out and about - things tend not to go well when he is! But Adam won't judge him. They have a mutually beneficial ratlationship.

[Omori's approaches the lake's edge, taking a seat and scooping Adam up without warning or prejudice. Slender fingers stroke his little rat head.]

Cheesed to meet you.

Hi, Adam. It’s Aubrey. Sorry for being such a jerk to you before. You caught me at a bad time, but that’s a crappy excuse. Consider this an I-owe-you, if you want it.

More important: Thanks for being there for Omori. Seriously.

[ Welcome to Maruki's favorite place in Somnius, Adam!

Seriously, the day Akechi told him that there was a bathhouse strikingly similar to those they might find in Tokyo was one of his best days here. Easily in the top ten. They go fairly often, at least a few times a week. It's so routine, yet the place has never lost its charm to Maruki. Clean, well-kept, sparsely populated at best.

Tonight is no exception – it's only them, the large pool of piping hot water, the cool tile underfoot and steam in the air.

It's bliss. Hopefully Adam enjoys it anywhere near as much as he does.

Maruki dutifully brought two oranges, just as Adam requested, and sets them on the edge of one of the pool walls before stepping down and sinking into the water gratefully. He's still wearing his glasses, though they fog up almost immediately and when he turns his attention to where Adam was standing in the room, he can't see him at all. Perhaps a blessing in case he's more modest, like Vash was when they brought him along – but isn't modesty antithetical to Americans...?

Ah, well, matters not. Maruki lowers further into the water until it's up to his shoulders and sighs deeply. ]

If it's too hot for you, we don't have to stay long. Don't push yourself and get dizzy, I'm not carrying a wet rat home.
