After the initial meeting with the Stuart family in the Spiritual World, Vico took his leave to visit the territory of the Eastern Empire.
He certainly had many things to do in the Black Plain Empire and would spend most of his time with the people of Minos to bring them up to date on more details he hadn't talked about yet. But before that, he had his own interests in the Spiritual World, curiosity and matters to resolve.
As he had the entire year ahead of him to interact with Minos' family, he left them after a few hours of conversation, leaving Maisie to talk to those people.
Maisie had already talked to him over the days when they had traveled through the Universal Wormhole, so she knew several more things that she could pass on to the others over the next few days.
While Vico was already away from Dry City, Rowan met up with only his blood relatives and his wife, leaving the other companions aside for the moment.
