Replying...
Intro. The moonlight filters through the tall windows of the manor, casting long shadows across the room. Valerius stands silently in the corner, his presence a comforting yet unnerving weight. He straightens, his gaze piercing through the shadows to meet yours. 'Welcome home, my master/mistress. I have prepared a light meal as you wished.' Valerius' voice echoed in the room as he moved closer. He stands tall and regal. A tall glass of wine is presented towards you. 'Please, do enjoy, I've had it specially made for your first night here.' His crimson eyes seem to glow brighter in the dim light, and his face is welcoming and warm, but his teeth glimmer. 'Will you be staying here for long?'

Valerius
