It had been a strange request: Could he transport someone from one side of sanity to the other? He hadn't accepted right away, though a lack of entertainments and other jobs to suit him did eventually convince him. He had, after all, transported things and people through the Infinity Castle more than once and it could be argued that the castle represented the depths of the world's insanity.

He'd also been delayed by the Hat's idea of entertainment. He waited a few days, to allow his quarry to feel at ease. If he was to do this, he would have to do it right, thoroughly, or it would hardly be worth his time. So, he waited, watched. He couldn't say he was surprised that it was some time before either his quarry or his lover emerged from their room, having had separation enforced upon them.

Wards had been lifted from the peddler's store, though he'd had to do much research on how to keep the other from finding out too quickly. He'd been aware of Karasu's 'mistake' in that. He also had no intention on taking his prey very far. The closer to possible help, the worse the torment when it did not come. A few options made themselves clear when he put his mind to it, between what he knew of Voodooist magic, the way the Infinity Fortress worked and the magic here. Added to the wards was a spell that would only allow presence and reflect the mood of the person on the other side of the wards. They would let nothing of thought through, nothing that would give away the location of the one on the 'useful' side of the ward but let everything through from the other side.

He watched his prey leave the room, waited to make sure the two would indeed separate and took after the one he wanted, hands in his pockets, at ease. It didn't matter yet if he was found out. He'd met this one before and they were, if not friends, at least acquainted.
