[Elijah takes some time before he decides he's going to follow the map. The time alone is what he needs to not feel like this world will be ripped out from under him-it's all impossible, but even as he thinks the word it feels like a weak protest against reality, and pinching himself hurts. America? Xochipilli? Magic?
At the least they left him a pack and a lighter, and the room allows him a chance to collect himself. He has to keep his head, cannot let himself try to think too hard about why for the moment when what's more important is the fact that should he believe this Rau, then he's a stranger in a strange land.
Is Meredith here too? Is Petunia? Can he find them if they are?
Everything in the box goes into his pockets, and he can only hope that whatever roommate they've given him isn't someone he's going to be unable to tolerate. (He wouldn't tell them that he apparently can do magic now anyway, the request for secrecy is unnecessary.)
And there's a voice when Elijah walks in, telling him that this person is here already. Wonderful. Nothing for it but to take the initiative to introduce himself to the other man that he finds in the kitchen.]
