Tell me, have you journeyed far? You seem weary. Do not worry, you may rest in my castle tonight.

Ah, where are my manners? You may call me Count La-Ducar, current owner of this land. Tell me, what are your names? Oh, I must seem terribly rude, I apologize. I was about to sit down for dinner, would you care to join me?

That is excellent to hear.

I hope you fancy roasted chicken with scalloped potatoes, beef gravy and the finest wine you will find in all of Transylvania. Oh, do not worry about me, I do not usually eat until later. This dinner is primarily for my servants, but there is usually quite a bit of food leftover, so your presence is not imposing. After you eat, if you wish, you may adjourn to your rooms. The guest bedrooms are up the stairs and to the left, choose any room you wish.

Unfortunately, I must soon be leaving, I have business in the town below. But please, do not hesitate to make yourselves at home. Have a good night's sleep.

After all, rest is good for the blood.

Ha ha ha ha....
