There's a brother waiting for you, wherever you're staying, Candy.
This might not actually be a strange thing if he was not a) looking older, if only a little, in ways most people might not be able to grasp; and b) you hadn't seen him off just a couple of days ago.
There was a thing with a time elemental. A really young time elemental. Cot didn't even know there were time elementals, but apparently there are and apparently? They can send you back in time twenty years. ...They can probably send you back in time in other increments as well, but for him, it's twenty years.
So here he is, feet propped up on the furniture, flipping through a book, waiting for his sister to see if she can help him figure out how to get back again.
