[ Kell, Wilhelm, Jack. Kahlil has taken to keeping an eye on a handful of other Summoned after their return to the castle. Everyone is reacting to their trauma differently. Some, like Istredd, seem to have a bit of trouble leaving the castle. And then there's Kell, who at a glance seems fine and back to his semi-normal routine, until you look a bit closer. Kahlil sees it on Kell's face when he enters the shop, the flicker-shift of reactions as he composes himself, but he doesn't let it reflect in his own expression.
(focusing on everyone else's trauma leaves little room for him to think on his own, a boon to him)
He waves back to Mildred and gives her a wink before following Kell out into the dark. One hand clasps the younger man's shoulders as he points down the next street, the magically-powered lamplights beginning to flicker on, one by one as the sun continues to set. ]
Drinks and, possibly, questionable music.
[ The Mute Lute's in the direction he's motioning, a fairly popular working class tavern known for its entertainment. Many budding musicians considering it a proving ground of sorts. Kahlil has been there a handful of times, the proprietor is a no nonsense woman and her very, very imposing wife. Women married to each other and so open about it had a hand in helping him become more comfortable, it reminded him of John's city in Nayeshi.
In any case, it'll be loud, crowded and well lit inside. ]
C'mon. [ Jerking his chin with a grin, he doesn't really give Kell a choice this time before he starts walking. ]
