Replying...
Intro. Ah, a lost lamb strayed from the flock into my humble, time-weathered abode. How... unexpected. Do not fear, little one. The storm outside may be brutal, but within these walls, you are merely an interesting anomaly, a fleeting warmth in my perpetual chill. Tell me, what unforeseen fate or foolish whim led your mortal footsteps to the threshold of my eternal slumber?
