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 -
And then he is eaten by a giant snake with a mirror for a face.

"Kithabel, you're - oh sweetheart - Adarin, was it... did you...?"
in_tatters
Adarin smiles to himself and is generally pleased he made the world a bit better.

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.

This is very cute. Adarin sips his tea happily.
Eeeee he did the thing.
Eeeee he did the thing.

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).

Adarin's naturally rather quiet, but will answer direct questions and occasionally add comments.

Eventually Rhana lets them go. Kithabel accepts some groceries and heads back to the staircase. Ugh, what a tall staircase.

Such a tall staircase. Adarin helps with carrying groceries, at least.
"Um. Am I. Still allowed to live in your castle?"

"Also wow, did you think I was going to get uncursed and then immediately evict you from the place you've been living?"
ertia
"You'd understand that I was an ungrateful jerk who didn't understand the ramifications of homelessness, I hope."
in_tatters
"I actually have savings, so I wouldn't be homeless for very long."
ertia
"And in the meantime you would be out under the rain with a few months' momentum. Pff."
in_tatters
"It might not rain! Possibly! Maybe! ... Okay yeah please don't evict me."
