[A few days after the desperate situation with Elidibus, but prior to the monthly Mingle post, there is a gentle knocking upon Lahabrea's door.
It is Elidibus, unannounced. A rarity for the younger man. Clearly though there are situations that have altered his usual behavioral patterns - chiefly being that it's clear he is still recovering from everything that had transpired. Now, himself once more and rested to the point where he can once again stand, he has slipped away to seek out Lahabrea. To seek out Hephaistos.
They have much they need to discuss. It's time for Themis to give answers that he really should have long ago.
And... something else, if he is still accepted.
Whatever the result, he steels himself as he waits for the older man to answer the door. He is utterly exhausted, made clear by the dark circles beneath his eyes and the pallor of his skin. The way he stands, one hand upon the door frame to support his weight. He knows he should have waited... but he could not bring himself to delay. Not when he recalled each and every moment of the ordeal with crystal clarity.
