[ She's not really sure if Kor's eagerness is a good sign or a worrisome one. Better that she doesn't gives this too much thought, or the pain of having to share that secret with him will have all been for nothing but making one grand mess.
Merisia leaves Kor with a brief but clear set of directions to her apartment, mostly through images and maps. ]
I'll leave the door open for you.
[ With that she does the mental equivalent of backing away, though she doesn't cut off the connection. For whatever reason, she doesn't want to just yet, even though she really doesn't have anything else to say. If anything, it's something to focus on to keep her nerves from getting worse than they already are.
It scares Merisia that she has no idea what Kor will even do. He did say that he would be giving the help he thought she needed, not necessarily the help she herself wanted. Would he really remove it? Would he leave it there? He didn't share her negative opinion of it, after all. She had little choice but to trust Kor's judgement, and hope that however he opted to carry his decision out didn't hurt either of them.
When Kor arrives, the apartment will be dark and somewhat sapped of color. Not impossible to see in, but clear enough that some emotional effects are at play. There's also a cold static in the air, flickering about every minute or so. Carbuncle is nowhere to be seen, although there is a large cat sleeping on top of a haphazard pile of books (how he's comfortable there is anyone's guess). Merisia sits at a desk surrounded by even more piles and stacks of books, her back turned and her amulet - a meteor-shaped pendant - clutched tightly in one hand. ]
