Emet-Selch would agree that it's nice to be back in Duplicity. Insincerity was different and a bit chaotic sure, but it wasn't exactly his idea of a great time. Being the tired old man that he is now, he's only too happy to retire to the apartment and rest for a while. Of course he isn't really Hythlodaeus's keeper, so he would have just lazily waved a hand when his partner said he was leaving. He has no idea what's in store for his near future.

"Welcome home," He announces once Hythlodaeus returns. He'd just been reading something in the living area, but his lover has his full attention now. Or, at least, the purple collar does.

"A ... collar?" He gives Hythlodaeus a strange look, like he doesn't quite get it yet.
