"Yes, though not as freely as I would like." Niall replied. "There are rifts - spots where the veil between this world and mine is thin. It used to be much easier to travel back and forth. As it is now I am only able to arrive in this world at a few locations. Fortunately for me Everett's portal is still big enough to be functional."
Azazeal's offer of hospitality brought a genuine smile to Niall's face, for a brief moment he allowed himself to be seen beyond the exterior of a kindly old man to the ethereal creature of light he truly was: thin, almost translucent skin, and pointed ears. "Thank you, I would be most grateful for your hospitality." Niall loved his granddaughter but even for her sake he could not abide staying at the prison. The iron laced box too much like a tomb.
No, the inn would serve his purpose much better and perhaps even a second purpose. A friendship or at the very least an alliance with one such as Azazeal would not be without its benefits not for Niall himself but perhaps an added layer of protection for Sookie. In return Niall would offer what he could. Yes, it would be very mutually beneficial and if nothing more than at least he was certain to get a good night's sleep.
