Especially when telling said ghost "no" or doing the unconscionably rude 'walk-through' was akin to kicking a starving puppy with giant, soul-rending eyes. There was enough misery in the room just now without his adding to it. Alrec cleared his throat as the phantom pressure caging him in sent a warmth through his frame. "I, er. Ambrose," he started gently, since it could get most uncomfortable if he said nothing. It helped not a whit that his body remained annoyingly aware that he hadn't had a good, actual lay from anybody in months--well before he moved to Lavenza. The doctor shifted his hips but froze soon after as there really was no 'away from the ghost' in his present position. Thwarted by manners, he opted to skirt the issue altogether this time.
"Cobwebs were just a suggestion. It's not that they'd make me happy, per se. In a roundabout way, maybe?" Damn, but holding an unaffected discussion while a ghost tried to snuggle in close was more difficult than he'd thought. "With. Bringing. With the bringing in of more guests. Thought--thought maybe making people more drawn into the atmosphere of 'old, haunted manor' as opposed to 'clean, tidy--Ambrose, when I breathe you are very, very close."
So much for skirting the issue. Truly, he was very close without the breathing, but with it, the pressure on Alrec's chest increased as though he were pressing against a tangible man's bare chest instead of a ghost.
He watched the play of expressions across the ghost's facade and rushed to consider escape routes that wouldn't hurt his feelings. It's nice to be able to get burdens off one's chest. Too harsh? It's damnably vague and yet still probably too harsh. How about: Maybe later? Right. Because I don't already have enough trouble getting to sleep without...interruptions. Maybe it'd be best if he pretended not to understand this particular offer. Con the ghost into sitting down while I sip at a good cup of hot tea. Perhaps. A pair of sleepy blue-gray eyes met the ghost's smoldering gaze. "It is kind of you to offer help. Opportunities to get troubles off my mind are surprisingly sparse inside these walls."

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