Adarin - realizes he's one of the most shut in members of the household. It makes sense, really. He's their shield, if bandits or other nasty people show up it is up to him to keep them safe, like it is up to Jony to make the garden and Kesaven expands the house and keeps it in repair. Besides, where would he even go? All of his favorite people are right here. He'd be lonely if he went on the trips to the market.
So when there is a yelp from downstairs that sounds like it's from Tima, he's in the house and not outside chopping firewood, or at the market. He is upstairs, and he hears it, and he sprints downstairs and prepares to shield and -

Eventually Kithabel extricates herself, which just causes Rhana to hug Adarin instead.

Adarin is also fine with getting super hugged. He has been slightly hug deprived. Hugs are nice.
"I'm glad I could help."

Rhana ushers them into her house, and gets tea, which she almost brews herself, but then she just gives all the ingredients to Kithabel, who laughs softly and focuses intently on them until she has successfully created brewed tea with magic.
Sip.
Sip.

Rhana chatters happily about what-all there is for Kithabel to catch up on, and apologizes for the necessity of inviting Adarin to read her notebooks (which Kithabel writes off as nothing, obvious, definitely the right call).
