[ The idea of there being accounts collected about this gives Claude some pause; though part of him had assumed other Summoned might check in with each other - such as with this thoughtful message - it also brings to mind the nightmares not long after he'd arrived. The Free Cities had been rather interested then and surely this would be the same since there was so much more widespread... well, everything. ]
I suppose that's something to consider, that maybe with so much noticeable destruction it might actually get others talking about what occurred and where. If there's anything to be shared between all of us then perhaps that can also narrow down some of the remaining questions.
I have to confess I'm not the biggest fan of sweets, but if I could request it then I'd like you to bring what you had in mind all the same. All the better to keep sharing things from where we're both from since I'd still like to try whatever you have in mind nonetheless. When you're ready, I'll be there.
Oh, and you didn't alter anything about the surroundings, that I promise.
[ True to his word, Claude will be waiting in his domain. This time around the front doors will be open rather than sealed shut and ready to be walked through by his visitor. Belatedly he realizes he's unsure if Hythlodaeus will need permission to take another form again, that maybe he should've offered that along with the invitation, but this time he's ready to offer that right away.
In another statement of honesty: his domain remains largely unchanged even after all of the Horizon's mishaps beyond visitors dropping in. Some of the plants have been replaced with even brighter flowers in more varieties than before, perhaps suggesting their owner is going for something cheerful not only for himself but for others visiting, but still arranged around as casually as ever. The ambiance weather-wise is as pleasant as ever in those better memories of a now distance place. All in all - and as promised - things look largely the same.
Right down to Claude sitting in one of the chairs with a book propped open in his lap, though this time if someone looks closely they might find he's studying signs related to magic from someone else's realm entirely. Pure curiosity at work, though at the sound of someone entering he looks up with a smile. ]
I'm glad to see you were able to find me hopefully as easily as before and even without the Horizon very helpfully sending us to other places. [ A bookmark's placed in between the pages, and the book's set aside to offer Hythlodaeus a seat should he like it. ] Hopefully being here's provided some reassurance there were no changes made that were unintended as well?
here works! i went ahead since you got the last one, lmk if anything needs changed!
