( ...if he had known how much of an abominable pain it was for dextera to get home, he probably would have been amenable the first time to meeting him elsewhere... but, then again, dextera had requested that as their meeting place.

in the receptive openness as he waits for a location, he can't help an obvious lilt of amusement that escapes him at the interjected comment. one colored with abject fondness, and he mostly keeps the faint condescension out of it. )

You remembered. I'm glad.

( though, honestly, given the "gifts" that dextera is bringing, makoto might have made a singular exception in this case.

the location is outside of the city, just as the portal that eustace placed is. it's not that it's close, but it's not egregiously far either. he's certain he could make the walk, but he will likely have to walk an additional distance so he can appear to arrive from a different direction than the one pointing directly to the portal (just in case).

still. it's doable. ) It will take some time, but I should be able to make it there. Perhaps - in two or three hours' time?
