[ i'm already logged into this journal so this one is first. anyway, whenever till shows up for work at the tavern, he will find a glowing figure behind the bar counter. it's entirely possible pretty much every day (except friday) that he's come by he's seen the figure around.
and today, said-figure is busy unpacking a crate of bottles to cram into shelves behind the bar. there's a baby lion sleeping on the counter itself, and there's music playing from somewhere.
but when till walks in they pause, looking up and greeting him with a nod. ]
Welcome back.

[ WOW... when i have absorbed like 10 locations total in my brain. they can be at the soundstage, where he is tuning a guitar with such absolute concentration that he jolts upright like a startled cat at the question, clutching his instrument. ]

Well that isn't great either. Unfortunately, multiple things can be terrible at the same time. Awful as it is... they've had weeks to fall into the routine. But we're closing in on the cause. So hopefully it won't be much longer now.
Oh. Hey.
[ settles down a little and gives an awkward belated wave. ]
...I'm Till. Should've gone to talk to you guys more sooner, sorry.
