Yol... TOOR SHUL!!!
As it turned out his old guest room hadn't been empty. A minor angel of love had taken up residence and was quickly and efficiently given the mission to find a new place to stay. Now it was empty excluding him. He set to work remodeling it. That altar had to go, the kitchen got bigger, bedroom more lavish. A living room with a big sofa and a nice TV was laid out at the end of a short hallway that doubled as a cloakroom. It was simply untidy having your shoes on inside.
Then of course the vision pool, every self-respecting divine dabbler in human affairs has got to have a vision pool for looking at your unwitting pawns, except for Ilim it was more for checking up on his wards or so he said. It got its own room with a throne to sit in and stare into its depths. This particular one got to double as a one-way portal into the human world as well. Just behind the throne, behind a locked obsidian door, he placed his sanctum sanctorum, and he filled it with memories.
An aged and worn wooden toy, a favourite of his eldest. A charred stick, all that remained of his first gift. A only remaining copy of a book of myths called "Matendo wa Ilim" written in Swahili by a Kenyan theologian named Tendaji, simply because it was his biography.
He went outside setting a pair of Stokers (big humanoid furnaces wielding long red-hot spears) to guard it. Like the annoying buzz of a bus-sized fly he felt Nox coming back from wherever she had been. Her presence was too diffuse to make out where she was exactly, only that she was somewhere on Earth. He sat on the throne and looked down in his vision pool, Amanda was sitting in front of her computer idly looking up nearby magic shops while Calcifer was spying on some friend of hers for her. Some Jamie who was acting suspiciously or something. He couldn't hear Calcifer since they were mentally connected. Thankfully Amanda wasn't used to that yet, giving him one side of the conversation.
