Mat shows up in the Horizon while Jesper is waiting. It's been a few months now since his domain has changed any, that alone a clue to his mood and mindset. Normally he's changing it in some fashion weekly.
The usual animals are around his little manor house. Hend, his horse-sized badger. The creatures in the lake. A fox made of living crystal trots by, giving Jesper a long side look as it goes past.
Shortly, Mat approaches. His beard is back, and his hair is growing out again into its usual untamed mop. He looks as he usually does, though tired. He's really not entirely sure how this is going to go. Jesper certainly seemed like he regrets it all, but he'd been drunk. Light knows all sorts of things come out when drunk that may not be meant when sober. Either way...
He'd said he'd be here, so he is. However this falls out, it has to be better than how things have been.
He climbs the little steps to the porch, eyes downcast and hands in the pockets of his familiar brocade coat.
