Erik took Astrid back to the palace, before entering his dimension together. Once there, he guided her to the same door that once hid Emily's surprise.
Naturally, Astrid looked at him sceptically. "You're not actually going to try that BDSM club thing on me, are you? I did say once I'd be open to being tied up some time, but—"
Erik chuckled at her look and shook his head. "Don't worry, that's not what I'm doing. Our location simply uses the same sigils."
While Astrid relaxed, Erik suddenly started looking a little guilty. "I… actually feel like I should have taken you here when we were still in Norway, but…" he sighed and shrugged helplessly. "There was so much to do, and so little time. Plus, it wasn't in the best state at the time."
