[The music is the first thing that draws his attention as he starts to wake. Something he hadn't missed, even if it got to the point after so long where the infuriating racket was automatically tuned out.

Fury, he hadn't missed it.

The second thing is realizing that he has a headache--like the sort he'd had after taking blows in training, or in a fight. How that had happened, he had no idea.

Third, is after so long without bathing in the heat and humidity of this place, he feels absolutely disgusting. His hair is heavy with grease and sweat and he needs a shower immediately.

He strips the bed and pillows first and foremost, tossing the linens in a corner to be dealt with in the wash before he grabs a towel and clothing and grumps his way over to the bathroom.

It's a good 45 minutes before he gets out and another 15 before he pads downstairs with his hair still damp and getting the back of his shirt wet and Iceheart plastered to his side out of concern.

When he sees a shark flying by the window along with the wind and rain, he almost gives it up and goes back to bed, but he eventually makes it down to the kitchen.]

[With Emet-Selch holding Dirk Strider captive in his lab and no access to that, the second best thing is his home. So he makes this his haunt. Plus the... inclement weather outside encouraging him to barricade for a little longer. He sits at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, looking every ounce as ridiculous as he always does.]

Oh, good. You're moving again. Though... I wouldn't leave too soon if I were you.

[It is absolutely a day to stay inside, not that Ardbert hadn't gone out and caught himself a shark earlier for the novelty of it all. What sorta fishing enthusiast would he be if he didn't?? But besides that, he was firmly indoors. Resigned to drinking around the house and browsing his gear.

Hearing Estinien up and about was a plus to the day, and he held himself back from checking on him when the shower seemed to run long. He had talked to Emet about this, it wasn't like he was going to just pass back out mid shower...

He looks up when Estinien finally joins him in the kitchen and as if he was waiting for him this whole time, he cracks open a beer and holds it up for him.]

Welcome back. Took you long enough.

[Except... he definitely wasn't just waiting for him. This was a man who was going to spend his day casually drinking and eating a very large portion of little smokies he had prepared. It's more than enough to share, but... it most likely wasn't his original game plan.]
