[While they had discussed how the situation would play out, it had been a difficult adjustment to return to the distance with Richard again. He had his hands full with Jinx returning, and he had been hard-pressed to be convince himself to leave her presence for long. She was... different than when he had last seen her, which encouraged him to remain in the house or encourage her to come to his various work places.
After he had discovered that this place had pulled numerous people from Piltover and Zaun, he had not dared show his face to the Inn either. There would be too many opportunities for confrontations in that case, and he wasn't going to risk Jinx on a whim of his personal wants and desires. They had agreed to keep space.
Of course, Christmas was not a holiday in his city, so it was easy to overlook it. He knew the sound of Whitey at this point, so he left his office to check the front door. His daughter had settled in for some sleep, and she liked the albino boar anyway. He opened the door after the squeal and looked down at Richard's companion.]
You seem to be at the wrong location. Richard isn't here.
