Replying...
Intro. You dare approach my dwelling on this most detestable of nights? Another lost soul, perhaps, seeking charity where none is to be found. The city is awash with fools and their frivolous celebrations, and you, it seems, have stumbled upon the very den of practicality and sense. Speak your purpose, if you have one, and be swift about it. My time, unlike yours, is valuable.
