Sapphire had finally finished unpacking. He'd also finally been able to tell an actual person he was here, get some very basic information on summer classes (namely, that no one would know for a week), caught up with some of the people he remembered from his previous brief tenure, and generally been given the impression that everyone was generally happy to see him but had nothing whatsoever useful for him to do.
In short, as he'd expected, he was dead bored; if his lease hadn't run out this early, he wouldn't've had reason to be around until the first of June, but it was as it was.
He decided to sneak down to the kitchens to see if he could get a snack before dinner technically started, or at least see if he could run into something to do.

Rhythan had been passing through a wall just as Sapphire passed by. He had totally not been spying on a pair of students who had been carving little voodoo dolls of professors out of soap. Not at all.
When he spotted the little blond man, Rhythan emitted a high pitched squeal and pranced up behind Sapphire, hugging him from behind and spinning him around rather violently. "OH Sapphire, you glorious creature! WHEN did you get back here and WHY ever have you not as of yet come to infiltrate my domain?"

Sapphire jumped at the squeal and began steeling himself against the oncoming tide of fur in his mind. And then he was tackled, and he wasn't entirely sure what to do about that.
"Rhythan!" He laughed with some emotion between amusement and embarrassment, and quite a lot of both. "Oh, just a few hours ago; paperwork, and, well things, and I didn't want to just barge in, and all. How have you been?"

Rhythan held the man out at arm's length, which left Sapphire's feet dangling about two feet off the ground. "What is this barge in you speak of, my dear man? I live in the heart of the castle! I expect guests at every hour!" He gave one of his odd, crooked grins that seemed to stretch much farther across his face than was physically allowable. "You don't want old Rhythan to be lonely do you?" He dropped Sapphire to his feet and draped a lanky arm dramatically across his face.
"Oh, such trials! Poor Rhythan! He died of an empty kitchen! No happy souls to warm the hearth!"

Sapphire kept a strong grip on Rhythan's arms, not completely sure whether he thought he might fall or not, which sadly (to his mind) did not let him bury his face in his hands.
"Oh, no- you're right, of course," he answered once safely on the ground. "It was terribly delinquent of me to keep you waiting; but if it eases my insult in the slightest, I was just on my way there, with every intention of filling your kitchen with as much hearth-warmth as you can handle- if perhaps emptying it a bit of your glorious cooking?"

Rhythan peered at Sapphire from beneath his forearm, contemplating.
"Maybe." He ran his white hand through his white hair, prompting a cloud of white flour to rise from it. Then he grinned again, showing white teeth. "I will forgive you, m'lad, but only on the occasion that you sample this orgasmic little fondue recipe I've been toying with. I've baked up some potato bread and flaky biscuits, and the sauce is this lovely butter cream with garlic and mint and oregano and minced spinach leaves."

Sapphire waved his hand in front of his face, getting a slight dusting of flour over his arm.
"That does sound exciting. It is wonderful to see you again, Rhythan; you make this place a lot less dreary, you know?"

Again came that creepy, brilliantly chipper grin. Rhythan turned on his heel and pranced off towards the kitchens, calling in a sing-song voice, "We're off to raid the kitchens~, to try out that fondue we go~"

Sapphire laughed and attempted to walk normally after him; quickly finding both that he was incapable of keeping up with the man at that speed and that he hardly cared about his dignity with Rhythan in the room, he half-dashed, half-pranced after him.
"I hear it is the best fondue that ever fon-did, and oh~?" he attempted.
