[She's trying not to look amused but she is curious about what he'll come up with.]
As long as both of us won't trip over details then that's a good idea. At the very least, no one is going to remember you as the man who nearly broke my bones.
Nearly, is it? At least you can concede that much.
[For what it's worth, that can soothe his pride a little more. It really is something of a miracle that he didn't just immediately choose to break her neck on a whim; but that worked out in the end, didn't it?]
But yes. I'll just spin it as me being... an artist in town. On vacation, but looking for his next bout of inspiration from the locals.
[Villains have hobbies, too. Sometimes those hobbies are under utilized because a man's been trapped in a lab for twenty years, but he still sometimes found the time. Papa, at the very least, did not let his kids wither away from boredom; stimulation of the mind was always important for garnering better results in a testing environment. That was the hope, anyway.]
Well. If there's a local art supply store, then I know where to begin my explorations.
I have some supplies on hand as well. As for money, I'll provide it.
[A teachers' salary is still in that frustrating problem of not being worth what it should be but hey, Amelia's never found money to be a problem due to saving, other investments, and the Witch King providing. He's at least good at that for some reason.]
I'll also provide a map of the area and the names of some locals who are friendly enough. They're good at welcoming people from out of town.
[She'll hit up Adam to help in falsifying some documentation in the meawhile.]
Yes, it'll stay put. It has a way of knowing when I need something in particular so since you are my guest, it'll keep any room you stay in within reach.
But if you do get lost, I'll tug you out. It hasn't happened before.
[After what those damn kids put him through, not to mention his frying-via-heated-sunlight, he still feels a little overwrought, even if his body has healed. Even a lich is not immune to feeling tired.]
Maybe explore the garden in the backyard while you're gone. I'll claim a bedroom for myself when you get back.

Well... That's a good way to blend in. The town is known for some beautiful local spots that artists tend to flock to.
You'll need art supplies then.

[He sounds satisfied with this. It gives him an excuse to poke around the town, just a curious artist looking for a spot to inspire.]
Then it sounds like we’re off to a good start. It’ll give me something to do while we wait to make progress on sending me home.
I’ll pick up a few things tomorrow then.

For the house, you can explore the rooms in the hallway, bar mine of course.
[She holds up her hand to list off some of the rooms that are most recurring in the ever-shifting hallway.]
There's the spare bedrooms, spare bathrooms, a library, a greenhouse, a bathhouse, oh, and a storage closet.
[well, only a few of those things sound like they fit in her house]
There might be other rooms too but if they disappear it means they're not being used for anything important.
no subject
The room I claim for myself- [Because surely he's not going to be delegated to the couch??] -isn't going to disappear on whim then, right?
[Hopefully an interdimensional guests counts as "important".]

[A beat.]
Not yet anyway.

...If I get lost in one more strange dimension, even if it is just a guest room, Amelia, then I will be very unhappy about that.

[is she joking she must be but her tone is so dry—]
I'll be leaving for school now. [It would be nice to take the whole day off but she doesn't want to leave everything to her paper doll.]
You can rest some more for now or... Hm. Plenty of free time for you. I'll let you know when I'm getting to work on your case.
no subject
I'll take today to rest.
