"Come in. I was beginning to wonder if you'd gotten lost." This is definitely wry. Lorne doesn't truly mind; he's patient and he has little to fill his days at the moment. He steps back, pulling the door wide, and closing it after Tuo enters. "Make yourself comfortable," Lorne says with a gesture towards the sitting room, where a cheerful fire crackles in the hearth. "I'll reheat water for tea."
