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 rubs a hand over one of her eyes. "Nnnng."
She sits up, eyes still shut. If Adarin wants to bolt now's the time.

Bolting is really tempting. He could just go, run to the hills, never be seen again...
But, he thinks, she deserves some kind of explanation.
He clears his throat, looking at his shoes. "Um. Hi."

Her eyes snap open. She stares at him, then glances left and right to evaluate her present location, then sweeps her hair out of her face with one hand.
Then:
"...it's gone," she whispers.

A man who really dearly wants to flee for his life.
"A-Adarin," he says, with only a hint of a wobble. "Um. Your mother let me stay here, I'm - I should go tell her you're awake?"
Meaning, 'Can I please go run and hide now?'

"...That is really interesting if true but not what I was getting at. How did I wake up if it didn't happen by itself as soon as Dianira got the other sorceress?"

He really, really looks like he would rather melt on the spot over tell her. But since melting on the spot is not an option...
"The, um, there's, well you see, the, the - 'fairly traditional breaking'?"
(Someone just have pity on this man and kill him. He never should have tried to wake her up. ... He doesn't mean that. But he should have possibly fled the room, earlier.)

"And. Er."
Well if he's already doomed, might as well explain everything to her so that when she kills him she can be informed properly.

"I mean, your - mother held out hope Dianira could get you in a century or two, it just. Would have. Kind of sucked. A lot."

He giggles, a little, at that.
"You're welcome."
He rubs his face.
"I can't believe it actually worked. I felt like a creep the entire time, I am so sorry, it was for the express purpose of." Hand wave towards her.

"I assume Rhana likes you, if she okayed it." She swings her legs out over the edge of her bed, sighs, "This is going to suck," stands, and immediately overbalances and falls on her face.
