"Need anything ready if you do need to go to work?"
Emil smiled again as he sat, and mulled over the question
"Hmm, not much would hopefully be needed. But if you find a screwdriver, Phillips head, a nice sized stone with a flat bottom and some rags. Feel free to leave them within reach of wherever we are keeping them, if you happen to come across them that is. And thank you my friend, for leading me back."With that Emil turned and began to follow the familiar path towards the house, his nose picking up both familiar of home and the smell of death unfamiliar in this place. Slowing down as he neared the house, he breathed deeply as he settled his nerves, and hoped silently that the door was unlocked. As he reached the door he probed its surface with his nose until he found the handle, and after dropped his bundle momentarily he bit down on to turn. Thankfully it turned and opened with a satisfying clunk, and allowed the Bolverk inside. He entered gingerly as not to run into anyone, turning the slunk through the hallways till he found what sounded like an empty bathroom, it's echoing and lack of shouting/screaming at him confirming that it was safe to enter. Closing the door he deposited his bundle and went to the center of the room to sit. Clearing his mind he began the shift, groaning internally as the discomfort spread like wildfire. He kept his mouth shut as his bones rearranged, changed, lengthened and popped into place. But after it was all said and done he lay back on the cold tile floor with a satisfied sigh. He waited a moment before he stood and dressed himself in a slight hurry, he was running late after all.
After he pulled his jacket on Emil paused. Reaching up he undid the tight hooks that held his blinder in place. Breathing deeply he removed it with a touch of hesitation. But, much to his relief, the light in the bathroom was off and did not dazzle him as he removed the bandage like blinder. Using his fingers he combed his tangle of hair back before using the blinder to tie it in place. As he opened the door he was greeted by the familiar nondescript smear of color that was the walls of the house. Emil slightly laughed internally, he used to hate abstract art but now his world was a minimalist painting with only the two shades of light and dark, the artist's revenge he supposed. As he laughed he traced his way to a small out of the way supply closet, in which he had stored his cane. After retrieving it he began to make his way to the sound of the group and the smell of food, the *tick-tack* of the metal tip of the stick preceding him. He paused a moment as the smell of death grew, overpowering the smells of food and home. Hanging his head he muttered a few nondescript things, his face solemn. He drew in a deep breath, committing the last scraps of Susanna and Ted's sent to memory.
Shaking his head he put on a slight grin, fake or not it was better than looking like a undertaker, and continued on. He entered the kitchen, seeking out the sound of the Ulfric among the crowed. He looked for a couple minutes, passively passing people to register them against his memories. He did this until he found someone he hoped was the right person, (as both the smell and sound fit the bill), he bowed slightly
"I apologize for my lateness, and any possible dishevelment of my appearance. But I respond to your summons as I am."
