It's only a matter of a few months to determine that Arkady is not in his domain. What's odd is that it should have taken him a shorter amount of time than that, but there seems to be conflicting information on whether or not Arkady is dead, which is unusual at best and somewhat alarming at worst.
It doesn't seem like he ever made it to the Underworld (no one possesses the power to escape once fully there), but it's possible that he stopped along the way there and turned back. That alone isn't all that unusual. Plenty of people destined for his realm were in comas, or had near-death experiences. There were stops along the way, metaphorically speaking, before the point of no return. But what's odd about Arkady is that there's debate in what Ereuvir can sense on where he belongs.
It's not enough that he would normally do something like this, take this kind of time, but Ashley's description of his brother has him intrigued as does the bits and pieces of their story he's picked up, and how angry Ashley had seemed about Arkady being alive when he had told him. Or perhaps just disappointed? He wasn't entirely sure.
Ashley has been... complex to deal with, but immensely satisfying, and he can't help but keep wondering about the entire story, the other half. And so, he started trying to track Arkady through the world of the living.
It doesn't work, of course. He has no powers above, even with someone who perhaps needs to be below. But eventually, he's not sure why, he has the idea to hone in on Ashley's remains, which he is innately and easily able to do... and when he discovers that they're in separate places, it's almost a foregone conclusion that he would track them down.
Which brings him here. The door of a manor and an ostensibly human, ostensibly modern sort of look for himself. He doesn't have a "plan", really, but he doesn't intend to be particularly subtle, either, beyond his current appearance, which is an expensive, tailored suit in a deep shade of blue, almost black, every bit of him screaming businessman or possibly noble, despite the fact that he's unaccompanied and rather casually just knocking on the door.

"Tell me how good he feels," he murmurs, "Convince me I should let him do the same to me," he smirks, "Or keep that for yourself, for now, and tell me how much you want to pose for the both of us, while I take my pleasure of him."

He licks his lips for Ereuvir, entranced by him, and then laughs at the question, sweet and wicked.
"Do whatever you please, my lord," Ashley says, crying out again as Arkady thrusts hard and deep into him again, reminding him that he still belongs to his brother. "Fuck him, or let him fuck you. If you want me to pose still and obedient while you do, you'll have to tie me up."

The view of Ashley and Ereuvir having a moment makes Arkady give a particularly sharp thrust. It's a combination of arousal and a reminder that a part of Ashley will always belong to his brother. Arkady brushes a bit of Ashley's hair aside and leans in to bite his neck.

It's not that he doesn't want to join in, he's intensely possessive, but he understands that this is a reunion, and he has all the time in the world. It's an easy thing, to let them reacquaint themselves, re-stake their claims. But his patience for merely watching is growing thin all the same, particularly with that breathless little comment from Arkady, who is the one he has more trouble reading just due to lack of familiarity.
He leans in and claims Ashley's mouth, decisively but not roughly, deliberately exploiting knowing exactly how Ashley likes to be kissed. He keeps it brief, though. The noises Ashley is making are too good to muffle for long.
