As he was led through the strange building of many doors, Cedric was unsure of what to expect. When Elliot opened the door of his apartment, Cedric’s eyes took in everything. Stricken with awe, his face reddened a little feeling so tickled to even be there. He came into this new world unsure if he would even find Elliot, and here he was, standing in Elliot’s apartment.<br/><br/>There were so many things that caught his gaze and made him hesitate; television, ceiling fans, refrigerators, sinks, interior lighting. Things that modern folk don't bat an eye at or ponder their workings. Knowing he could spend a whole millenium trying to make sense of the technology around him, Cedric consciously decided to ignore the things that were beginning to give him a colossal headache.<br/><br/>“Your home is very lovely.” He complimented before Elliot ran off to get him some clothes. While Elliot was away, Cedric took a moment to look at the pictures and the paintings hung up on the wall. Again, his mind wanted to question how in the world a photograph was even possible, but the pictures themselves made Cedric even more curious.<i>Is this... him and his kin?</i>He wondered with a soft smile gracing his lips. It made him so happy to know that Elliot possibly knew his family. And the way they all smiled in the photos gave Cedric the hope that he had a happier upbringing than in his past life. The paintings reminded Cedric that Edward hadn’t really changed that much. He still loved the outdoors and that alone just warmed Cedric’s heart.<br/><br/>When the other man came back he accepted what he was given. “Thank you.” Cedric replied and for a moment he looked deep into those beautiful blue eyes. His attention was suddenly grabbed by Charlie who surprised him by licking his hand. Cedric smiled down at him. Charlie was just so adorable and reminded Cedric of his companion when the he was just a boy.  A big white dog with long floppy ears and a fluffy coat.<i>Venus</i>was her name and Cedric thought about her from time to time. She was long gone though he never thought of getting another pet. No other dog was as obedient or loving and Cedric couldn’t bring himself to ever replace her.<br/><br/>He was tempted to kneel down and scratch Charlie behind his ears, but before he could do that, Elliot called his dog off and said goodbye for the night. “Alright. I bid you goodnight, Edward.” Cedric said without catching his mistake and gently closed the door behind Elliot.<br/><br/>After being being left alone, Cedric took the liberty to get himself well acquainted with his new surroundings. The first thing he wanted to do was get out of his current attire. From being outside all day his clothes had absorbed his sweat making him feel gross and filthy. Not to mention his hair felt slick and was beginning to appear stringy. He didn’t know what he was going to do about that though.<br/><br/>At first he was a little hesitant to put the clothes on. He was used to wearing silk robes, so Cedric was a little skeptical as to if this stuff would even be comfortable to sleep in. His eyebrows pressed together as he held up the pair of pajama pants to inspect them. It was hard to believe people slept in such strange things.<br/><br/>Before changing his clothes, Cedric figured he better hide away the things he brought along with him. Walking over to the nightstand, he opened the drawer and placed the potion and the ruby amulet inside for safekeeping. Once those things had been taken care of, Cedric stripped himself of his clothes, put on the ones he had been given, and was utterly surprised as to how comfortable they actually were. He then folded up his dirty clothes and set them on top of an old dresser.<br/><br/>While he was wide awake, Cedric opened the door to the small bathroom which connected to the guest bedroom he was staying in. From watching Elliot, Cedric learned that flipping the white lever on the wall caused the lights to come on. In there he discovered the function of the sink. “Oh wow.” Cedric said as he turned the knobs on and off. Although he didn’t know the exact purpose of the toilet yet, Cedric watched in awe as the water swirled around, disappeared down a tunnel, and refilled itself like magic. After that he discovered the shower. He turned the the knobs and water rained down. As he stuck his hand in he quickly learned that the left knob release cold water and the right released hot. By the bar of soap sitting off to the side, he realized that this this little area must be where people washed themselves, and needless to say, he thought the shower was super cool. Another thing he figured out was that the curtain hanging on the side kept water from getting on the floor, so he pulled it back before getting undressed again.<br/><br/>Once he was all fresh and clean, Cedric turned off the water, got dried off with the towels he found, and then dressed himself back up. Walking back into the bedroom, Cedric combed his hair out with his fingers and dried his hair thoroughly with one of the towels.<br/><br/>Looking back at the pictures that lined the wall, Cedric wanted to ask Elliot about the people in them. By then it seemed to be really late, so Cedric decided that he’d ask him about it in the morning.<br/><br/>The time traveler turned back to the bathroom as something crossed his mind. The wizards told him to contact them as soon as possible. In the bathroom he turned off the lights and stared into the mirror. It took him a minute to remember how the incantation went, but after reciting the words in an archaic language, the mirror began to glow and light the pitch black room in a bright jade hue. Through the crack beneath another door which connected to the hallway, the bright light could be seen. The glass rippled as if it were water and his reflection was replaced with the apparitions of his wizards. Their voices were audible as they conversed with their king. They told him the country was doing fine under his brother’s rule and Cedric told them he had found Edward without any difficulty at all. The wizards then informed him that a certain clairvoyant friend of his had also been reborn and could be of some help in recovering Edward’s memories. He knew exactly who they were talking about.<i>Naomi</i>was her previous identity and in this life she was known as<i>Amanda</i>. Cedric wasn’t sure how he would find her, but knew he must somehow.
