Year, month, those were sureties, hanging from a wooden peg and dangling over the far end of the counter. But day...well. He was glad the Professor hadn't asked him that. "A century isn't so far-fetched, I suppose, given the goings on around here. Praytell, was the Manor at least standing when you went to sleep?"
This was asked rather cheekily, as obviously, if the zombie had known to come into the kitchen and where the food was located, he could be presumed to have some foreknowledge of Lavenza. Alrec almost burned himself when he dropped the wooden spoon onto the range. Professor Bennett could know quite a bit about Lavenza, if he had indeed been around at the turn of the century. Other occupants were transient, newcomers, it seemed, skulking about the Manor's corners and mostly keeping to themselves.
He picked up the spoon with a sigh. No, it'd be impossible. All of Lavenza's original occupants had mysteriously disappeared. "Perhaps you might know a few good stories that I haven't yet, at least."
A glance toward the door in the kitchen, which Alrec had never been tempted to investigate. Truly, he'd not seen far too much of the Manor--who knew what else lay in wait? Perhaps the next zombie wouldn't be so accommodating to leaving his brains uneaten, nor have such a cultured repartee. "Just a lab in the basement, then? Or an actual living suite?"
Oh, now, that was just insensitive.
"I mean of course a place to stay, to sleep. There are several rooms available upstairs if you'd prefer that to a musty basement. If indeed it is musty," he added with a self-deprecating smile. It wasn't exactly his place to attempt to rent out rooms, but he assumed anything would be preferable to 'musty'. For all he knew, the lab could have been a lavish guesthouse and Quintin had merely had no need to come out. Except, apparently, food. And water. Alrec shook his head, the movement stirring upright strands of blond hair.
"So physical beings, then?" he asked, leaning against the counter. "I don't know that our studies have much in common at the source then--what with you looking at tangible and my nose stuck in books on the...intangible."
"All the same, I won't turn down a good opportunity to research...and I have been meaning to branch out to glean other basics. Must, probably, and soon, given the current company the Manor keeps. Yes, I...I think I should like that very much, thank you!" Alrec spoke the last with a great deal of enthusiasm as he fanned away steam and went to retrieve a plate and fork for his living dead...colleague. Once in his hands, he thrust it across the counter and smiled.

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
