[Mat is reasonably certain that he could, if not for obligations in the real world, spend most of his time right here in the Horizon. How does anyone tear themselves away? The ability to create whatever the mind desires...and not just an image of it! A real, solid thing! A person could try out a dozen different lives in a month, if they wanted.
But he does have an actual life, and it's not terrible anymore, so he only spends a good portion of his time here. Currently he's working on adding glowing flowers to an artfully twisted tree, not far from the pond that is scheduled for an upgrade. He's waiting for Julie, and glad she's coming. Beyond the alterations she's promised to make, he has a few...queries, about the creature she'd sent.
At the moment he's not too concerned about it - it's contained for now - and is simply focusing on his work. He's dressed as he commonly is in Thorne, in his black brocade coat with the purple and gold, far nicer than when Julie last saw him. In the gleam of the flowers he forms in his hands and floats up to attach to the tree, his face is serene and focused in a way it rarely is. His Wheel of Fortune pendant rests on his chest, looking brightly polished.
To ensure she can easily find him in the natural maze of his domain, a sparkling stone path has appeared directly to this spot, lined with tall sunflowers that bend to point the way as Julie passes.]
