"Boy, what do you care? You'll find another muse somewhere."
"Where is she?"
"Why d'you wanna know?"
"Wherever she is, is where I'll go!"
"And what if I said she's down below?"
"Down below?"
"Down below. Six feet under the ground below. She called your name before she went, but... I guess you weren't listening."
Orpheus wakes up slowly, Sunday morning, the sun already high in the sky as he blinks blearily into consciousness. He feels absolutely exhausted, like he just spent days without sleeping or eating, putting one foot in front of the other in search of something - someone much more important than all of that. He just lies there for a long, long time, feeling aches and pains and bone-deep tiredness that only abates when he finally realizes where he is. Those in Rodger's dorm will be treated to him springing out of bed much later than usual, frantic and afraid. ]
Eurydice!
[ And he'll barge into Longacre looking for her, though when it becomes apparent she's not there he'll immediately run back out if not interrupted. He does find her after some scrambling around, and spends most of the day outside with her before returning to the kitchen to do inventory. Things have restocked, thankfully - including all the fresh fruit he converted into preserves, so that's exciting. He does still seem more than a little out of sorts, though, as he tries to sort through their supplies and think through the implications of what he's just remembered at the same time. The observant might notice he's counted the same bag of flour three times, and is on the verge of counting it a fourth, his mind clearly elsewhere.]
