<img style="max-width:25%;float:right;margin:0 0 18px 18px;" style="Alrec Reynolds" src="http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag76/danixiewrites/Alaric_Reynolds-1_zpssrztspdl.png]And there it was, the reason why attempting to make easy with the other residents was far, far down on his daily list of things to attempt. Alrec was far more comfortable nattering on with the ghosts who occupied the halls or buried in his research, forgetting to eat and postulating solutions to supernatural problems, than tiptoeing around being the "offensive human". This, he presumed, was also the reason the Caretaker suggested tours during the day, rather than the more atmospheric evening hours.
Thoroughly chastised, the doctor lowered the arm he'd used to gesture. "Undesirables cover renovations, repairs." Not the general bills, as Lavenza's estate was rather well-to-do, but there were other costs to be taken into account for those who called the Manor home. Alrec paused then, his gaze going somewhat inward rather than to the space around him. Though he'd bristled at her tone and the way she spoke to him as though a human was just barely competent enough to understand plain, simple words, she'd given him an idea. "A theater!"
It wasn't until she cast a limb toward the entry that he was pulled from the daze, and when he realized he'd zoned in front of a vampire, his first reaction was to tug at the hair atop his head. Brilliant. Just brilliant.
"I do not have a tour scheduled..." His gaze meandered toward the foyer and widened as he spotted Ambrose making a beeline for the great doors. "Oh...no. Right then...I'm off. Good evening to you, Lady."
He hesitated a fraction too long, turning to stare first at the music room door, then the front doors, trying to determine who was in the way of the most...uncomfortable greeting. In the end, he followed the ghost, giving the vampress what he hoped was a respectful nod. She might be upset at the intrusion within their walls, but she was unlikely to nibble on strangers--he hoped--and that meant the unfortunate soul in range of the more intimate of greetings was whoever stood beyond the front door.
Alrec wasn't one to run, or scurry, or even madly dash about. But he had walking briskly down, and did so now to try to at least draw even with the ghost. When the front door opened to reveal an already uncomfortable young woman, at least she'd see it appeared to be opened by a solid person, and not empty air. Unless Ambrose...but of course she'd be able to see the ghost too. For why else would he choose to answer the door?
Except now, the door was open, and there wasn't time to remind Ambrose about personal space, and standing silently was awkward. It certainly wasn't in Alrec's job description to greet strangers, and now he was stuck doing exactly that. If he'd been less concerned with Ambrose's current aptitudes, he'd have let them enter as he had on his first visit--carefully, and believing they were utterly alone. Alrec stifled a sigh and managed a stilted smile. "Welcome to Lavenza. Please, do come in. There's no sense standing about--one never knows when it might lightning."
If he didn't mention rain, it was because rain would have implied weather patterns. Lightning...around the Manor...didn't always come with weather.

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