"So long as I've got three square meals a day and a descent bed, I'm satisfied. First thing I'm doing is getting out of these rags." Kaistern said securing his insignia to his arm before heading off to do some shopping, tossing his bag of freshly earned money up and down in his hand as he went.

The dorms certainly had both, at least in comparison to Kaistern's previous living conditions within the sums, so he had little to worry about in that regard. The rules for the dormitories were pretty simple, too.
1.) Don't kill your guildmates without Dulcinea's or a Co-Founder's consent.
2.) Don't burn the dorms down, or cause any real damage that you cannot fix.
3.) No guests, ever. It's too much a security risk and will result in both you and your guest being killed.
Of course, most of these after that were pretty much common sense.
Ophelia remained in her chambers, which were located in a section of the guild headquarters that was hidden beneath the earth. Her door was locked, as per usual, as she read over the letter from Kaistern again and again. It gave her an odd sense of comfort to hear his last words to her ring so clearly in her head, to look over each word and to know that it was penned by his hand.

"Now, see? That wasn't so hard now was it?" Kaistern said to himself, or rather, the nicer half as he flopped back on his new bed and folded his hands behind his head. He new the other half could hear him; it was almost how it was before, just with the ruder, cruder half as the dominant persona. "Grow a pair and stop pussing around and we'll be back on the throne in no time. I always knew you needed me to hold your hand every time fate feels like taking a s**t on us."

{So...when shall we have them reunite?}
Once she'd had enough time to herself, Ophelia carefully hid the letter away, soon leaving her chambers to do whatever work she needed to that day. She would not be seen by the normal guild members, let alone above ground level for the moment being, but that didn't matter. Every job completed, every member recruited and every coin made was just one step closer to realising her ultimate goal of vengeance. (Oh, and reclaiming the throne too.) Ophelia was extremely bitter about everything that had occured, but never did she let it show. She went on with a pleasant smile locked onto her rose red lips, her hair worn neatly and beautifully, her body dressed in fine silks suiting the loveliest of noble women. Aside from her strange tattoos and the fact that she's human, she looked like a very elegant member of high society. Silk hiding steel, so to speak.

((She could request a secret meeting with Kaistern, pass a letter along through the ranks to him.))

{Good idea~ ^.^}
Ophelia looked through the private missives sent to her personally, only to discover that one of them spoke of Kaistern's whereabouts. In fact, it stated that he'd actually joined her mercenary guild quite recently. She took no time at all to write him a request for a private meeting in her section of the guild headquarters, writing the letter out to sound as proffesional and non revealing in interest as possible. However, if sweet!Kaistern knew her as well as she'd hoped, he would immediately reccognise the handwriting as her own.

"...Oh don't start blubbering on me because some girly handwriting reminds you of your wife." Kaistern said crumpling up the letter and tossing it into a wastebasket. "My gods, I think I liked you better as some doofy manchild..." he said getting to his feet, his hands in his pockets as he went to meet the mysterious Dulcinea.

Ophelia arranged the meeting to where they would be meeting in her chambers, lest one of the other members eavesdrop and learn more than they should. Like a girl about to go on her first date, she was utterly frantic in regards to her appearance beforehand. She took forever perfecting her outfit, making sure that she looked as stunning and blatantly rich as possible.

Eventually Kaistern came knocking on her door, leaning boredly against the wall while he waited for someone to answer.

The door opened on its own, likely an enchantment or some sort of electronics she had built into the building. When Kaistern looked inside he would see a desk, a large office chair with its back turned towards the door behind said desk, and a simpler but comfy looking chair in front of it. Part of the room looked like an office, part of it looked like a bedroom, and part of it looked like a small armory for several different weapons - mostly guns and various blades though. Ophelia would not speak or reveal herself until Kaistern entered the room, not wanting to ruin the moment and all that.

Kaistern let out a low whistle as he stepped inside and looked around. "Damn fancy place for someone in charge of a bunch of goons for hire." he said as he flopped down in the comfy chair and put his feet up on the desk.

"What can I say? A few investments here and there really add up." It was then that the chair slowly turned around, revealing a grinning Ophelia. She pressed a button on the arm of one of her hairs, making the door shut behind Kaistern. "Hello, Kaistern." Now, to wait for his response.

Even dark!Kaistern looked surprised and nearly fell out of his chair from his reclined state. "Holy s**t, we thought you were dead!" he said pointing one finger at Ophelia while gripping one of the chair's arms with his other hand for stability.

"We...?" Ophelia looked Kaistern over for a bit, soon coming to the realization that Kaistern's other half had taken over. It was the only logical guess, considering Kaistern's lack of mental health and the extremely stressful situation. "That was the intent. Filthy usurpers would make things difficult otherwise." She let out a small, bell like giggle. "I would ask how you've been, but that get-up says plenty."

Kaistern regained his composure, closing his eyes for a moment as if going into deep thought. "...He's not buying it." he said finally, opening his eyes as he came out of his trance like state. "Sorry, but your husband's just too far gone in his angst and depression right now to believe you're you. So unfortunately for everyone involved, you'll be stuck with me a little while longer."
