[Well, he's certainly been gone for quite some time. Probably enough for the kids to worry and all. So, when he doesn't find them on the farm, he figures that they might be in the bustling tavern, where there seems to be quite a bit of people lingering about. Which, you know, would have bugged him when he first got here, but... Something weird certainly happened, and he's about 10x older than than he first got here. He's gotten over most of his worries, and that was enough.
So, when he takes a step into the tavern, he manages to push himself past the crowd, and over to the bartender. Astralin brushing some of his hair back, and speaking up a bit loudly so he can describe Kotone to him. Luckily, the bartender having seen her, points him in a general direction. Easily walking past the crowd, and placing a hand on Kotone's shoulder. Not to surprise her or anything, but here he is.]
