[The Exorcist is still probably stuck in that room cut off from the rest. That quiet, quiet room where nothing seems to be working. The fake sun hasn't even bother to rise or fall within the last few days, weeks, or was it months? The electricity had gone out forcing him to use candles and fireplaces for means of light.

It was probably a distressing few days if it hadn't been even more distressing before that.

Something lights up on a wall though. It is faint at first at a singular point, but that point begins to move and expand. It expands and draws lines of light on the wall. Most are circular in nature, but they do tend to crisscross around each other.

In the end a huge magical symbol taller than he is stands firmly etched on the wall.]

You've never needed anything, Exorcist. But that doesn't mean it isn't nice to have.

[He leans forward kissing the edge of his jaw before replying.]

My, my. I haven't had rough sex in a while. Up for the challenge?

Just let me know what you like.

How accommodating.

[He bites his jaw lightly before skipping his neck and undoing the buttons of the Exorcist's shirt. At and this rate, he might be a little faster than the other at getting them off.]

[The Noah should certainly be faster at it; this guy is done unbuttoning, but it took... a while...

He'll try to make up for his damaged hands and run-down state with enthusiasm and attentiveness, as much as he can.

Later on, he'll probably feel halfway to passing out, but also more than pleased.]

[Tyki will drape his coat over him assuming showering happened in this extra dimensional space. Let's just say it did.]

Why don't you rest for the night before moving on? Hmmm, and I was wondering if there was anything you would like to take with you?

[Showering would be good, yes! He tugs on the coat a little.]

Ah... I must have imposed on you enough by now.

There was the matter of that favor you wanted?

I don't mind. I do have all the time in the world.

Yes, I want you to bring her with you.

Her?

[He seems very surprised and uncomfortable, but he lacks his former... distaste for her.]

She died. I waited, but -- she wasn't coming back.

[He speaks quickly but haltingly.]

I buried her in the courtyard before it disappeared. Her body was rotting by then, understand? Even if I was... wrong, that place couldn't even bring me back properly -- between that body and the lack of food, she'd have died again right away.

I know. I know. I'm not blaming you.

[Putting a hand on his shoulder.]

She is my creation. That I can fix, but I would like you to take her along. You can part ways after the fact, but having a little bit of the past to bring with you is something I think will help.

[He relaxes a little.]

If there's a way to bring her, then I will, but how do you expect to get her?

Good.

Then stay here. I'll go fetch her. Hopefully you didn't bury her too deep.

It was a shallow grave.

[As soon as the Noah is off to fetch, this guy will sigh and lie down. He doesn't want to appear too run-down if he can help it, so he figures he should take advantage of any wait and rest.]

[He'll get a good nap in as Tyki excavates and heals the body. When he comes back he'll be carrying her bridal style before resting her on a bench.

He will try not to wake the former Exorcist. Again, he is in no rush.]

[He'll sleep like the dead for a time. When he does come around, he blinks groggily, then bolts upright in alarm; it takes him an extra moment or two to fully wake up and remember where he is.]

... Sorry, I shouldn't have fallen asleep.

[He'll go quiet when he spots the body.]

She's alive. Not awake, but alive.

And I don't see why you shouldn't have gotten some sleep. You needed it.

Well, it can't be terribly interesting to watch me sleep.

She wasn't... alive... when you found her, was she? [Looking very, very uneasy.]

You don't have to entertain me every moment of the day.

No, she wasn't.

Perhaps not, but if this is the last time we're going to see each other, sleeping seems like a waste.

[He nods, mostly relieved.] I suppose -- that you found her means she and I were only cut off from the rest of the Dressing Room, not that it was disappearing. For all its faults, I'm glad it isn't gone.

That I don't know about. The state of that place. But I did tell you that I made it, didn't I? I'll fix up any loose ends later.

You really don't mind taking her with you?

[He shrugs.]

It's a favor, isn't it? Besides, I practically lived with her for a time. I can probably stand her company a little longer.

[Sorry I have been so slow!]

Thank you. I wouldn't want to leave her here. I don't expect to be staying long myself after the fact.

[No worries; you know I don't mind.]

Well, this isn't the kind of place a person lingers in, is it?

On that note, I should be going.

I do have a gift before you go.

[He hands him a letter with the words 'If you ever get tired of your world' on the front of it. It has a bit more weight than a letter.]

[He takes the letter.]

"In case of boredom, open letter," hmm? Do you mind if I look at this now, or would you rather I save it for the right time, if it ever comes?

At least I knew it was going to catch your attention.

I'll tell you what is in it, a piece of the Ark. You will most likely loose your memories upon going to another world. Though you may be lucking and not. In either case, this is a chance for you to decide you didn't like the world I picked for you and would want another.

In short, using that piece of the Ark will bring you back to me and we can try again if you like.

[Shrugging with a smile.]

Sometimes I just like to leave doors ajar when I can.
