Dirk stretches and growls a little. "Nope, I have no idea who that is." He sighs and yawns a little. "Is he anyone important I should be aware of?"
Dirk sits with Rinaldo and eats. "I don't really hate you. We just need to keep up appearances. It would be weird if we just became best pals. Someone might start asking questions I don't want to answer. Be careful around Flora so she doesn't get her hooks into you more than she already has. "
He drinks and asks "Mind if I borrow a horse to hellride on when it's my time to go home?"

#s://i~ibb~co/fC2fwdp/Luke~jpg "Jake's another of our cousins. Decided to go off into shadow a while back and haven't heard from since. Rumours say he's on his way back to Amber.
"I know you don't hate me. How could anyone have anything against this face? The pretending might be helpful. My enemies might come to you hoping you'll join them in a scheme. Yours could come to me.
"I need the Flora hooks if I'm going to get Kashfa full membership in the Golden Circle. I guard Arden for a while and she gets the deal done is our agreement. I'm trying to avoid all her other claws.
"There's plenty of fine horses in the stables. It is overflowing with them. He's one that's done a lot of shadow travel and a few hellrides in his time. Dakota, I call him, after a place on Earth where the riding is good. We have saddles and tackle, too. Keep him as long as you need."Both cards are ready in the morning. Dirk now has one trump card, and it is for, and from, his most hated enemy. Dakota is ready, allowing Dirk to finally ride out of this place.

After making sure he is well fed and rested, Dirk seeks out Rinaldo. “Thank you for saving my life. I think that evens the score. It's not like hurting you would bring my father back.” Dirk tucks that trump of Rinaldo away safely.
He smiles “If you ever need an Admiral for the Kashfian navy hit me up. I'll do my best to take care of that for you.”
Dirk sighs “If someday I punch you hard in the shoulder treat that as a replacement face punch. But until then I don't wish you or yours any harm.”
Eventually after making sure he is provisioned properly, Dirk mounts Dakota and takes off for home. He stops to rest the horse when needed but otherwise he's heading home.

#s://i~ibb~co/p1Qff5H/zelshad~png "That is true. Killing me is not the way to bring your father back," Rinaldo says as Dirk leaves. He rides through blasted lands, haunted lands, and broken places where crystal spires once reached into the skies and weird miniature tanks rumble across the plains. Any adventures or happenings on the way you'd like to describe?

Dirk heads out towards home. He rides hard and fast. He does take good care of Dakota for Rinaldo by resting the horse when it's needed.
He adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides as he rides. Keeping his focus on home… he tries to get there as fast as possible.
Dirk takes a path that is safe but fast. If he errs it's on the side of speed.
As he gets further away from Amber, He does come across a few shadows that worship a huge black panther with green eyes as a trickster chaos deity.

Dirk comes to the end of the universe. Dakota is more husk than horse after the long journey. It hasn't the nerve to cross a filmy into the Courts of Chaos.

Dirk pulls Dakota's head down to his chest and pets him. "Thank you my friend." He pets the horse to see if he can calm the horse. He blocks the view of the filmy and takes off his shirt to blindfold the horse. If this works then Dirk guides Dakota over the filmy and into the Courts by foot.

The horse makes it across the temporary bridge. The Courts are even more chaotic, and it would be best to keep its head covered for the whole trip through the city. Where is Dirk heading to?

Dirk is heading home to Lorcas. He wants to go home pure and simple. He does jeep the horse's head covered.

At the beginning of Lorcas Ways, Dirk is greeted by a serving demon he knows from before. He is led down hallways and through shadow jumps. Numerous portraits of his mother hang on the walls, some with candles lit in niches alongside. Portraits of his uncle are also seen, but without the candles. Through a door, he is in his uncle's favourite space, one of strange radial geometries and twisted topologies. The uncle is there with another man.
OOC: Dirk can switch over to Hammett's thread.
