This is, possibly for the first time ever, a house he thinks he can deal with.
It's really nice. Aggressively nice, in fact, but in exchange for aggressively not that, he'll take this any day. And anyway he feels good. (That in itself is too familiar, the first dream he had here was also a house, also a sourceless feeling of comfort, the ease that allowed him to fall so neatly into Zagreus' very first trap, but it's so easy to just push that down - don't think about it, it's so much better not to think about it.)
He doesn't settle yet, choosing instead to wander, looking for someone he knows. He really wants company, maybe from someone other than the usual - not for the usual reasons, either. That, too, is a little strange, but he doesn't stop to analyze it. He steps from one inviting room into another, scanning for a familiar face.
