Getting back isn't my concern.

( he has his returning stone from several months ago, when it had been given to him to help facilitate in bringing new Aion recruits to achamoth. it has charge. so long as he is alone and undisturbed to use it, secure in similar concerns that he's not inadvertently being a security risk to his sect, it shouldn't be an issue returning to the cold, echoing caverns beneath the citadel.

he can understand the trepidation of simply going back to the lover's shrine. it had served its purpose for their first meeting, but others could teleport there just as easily as they could, and if there were any Aions that were dissipated in these last few days, they would potentially need to be taken back there to recover. makoto is similarly unenthused by the idea of being found, both because he doesn't exactly try to make his highly unusual and taboo proclivities publicly known, but also because he's not in a state to defend himself against a sudden attack.

mention of godsblood prompts a defensive prickle from makoto. still, he gleans the meaning from dextera's request — he doesn't expect him to walk into the lion's den, a place that makoto currently has no idea as to the present state. had the execution been carried out? he would have to hear from someone else. regardless, just as wary as he is of a location with moderately high Pleroma presence, he's just as wary of tipping his hand as to where the portal that eustace had set up was located. even if dextera might not use that information, someone else might — he can't be convinced the Regent is the only creature with the power to pluck out memories of use and interest.

because this is dextera, and because he offers such a fine gift, he compromises: )
Show me where we might meet, and I will tell you if I can make it there. ( it's not as perfect or clever as he would have wanted, but at least it makes it vague enough as to where the portal might be, either within or outside of godsblood proper. )
