"It's nice to meet you, Leon, and Trisiphone." Elias said, making sure to repeat their names to ensure he had them correct.
At Trisiphone's question, he debated with himself for a moment as to how much detail he should go into. "Well... the short answer would be because of the invitation I received, and that I'd heard plenty of rumours about this building around the town anyway so I wanted to check it out." Elias replied, sounding quite excited about the situation.
"Oh-" Elias seemed to remember, and he seized Ari's wrist and pulled him forward to be a part of the conversation as well, "-and Ari here also got an invite, didn't you?" Addressing Leon and Trisiphone, he added, "Ari and I were already friends - along with most of the others in our group - so we figured we may as well arrive as a group."
Ah - realising he was still holding onto Ari's wrist, Elias let go quickly.

He laughed lightly. "Do not be concerned. I would be lore surprised if you had heard of me. We try to keep to ourselves here, it's rare we invite anyone from outside the Manor." Cedric explained. He was careful not to mention humans specifically, but there was a moment that he thought he might slip up. He was very well aware of the risks he'd be taking if he revealed the true nature of the residents of the Manor.

Deciding to change the subject, she continued, "Oh, Caelan, I finally managed to outsource that scotch you like. It's over with the rest of the drinks." Lilith seemed quite pleased with herself for that. "And, Leela, I had the chefs make plenty of your favourite snacks." At least that was something she could do right. Anything someone liked, she could reliably find it. Even if it took days, or even weeks, she would be determined.
"And these amethysts," she gestured to her necklace and bracelet, "I've been trying to get my hands on for ages, they're the perfect size and quality."

"Huh. Well I guess I never thought of it that way. Given I've lived here for a good number of years." Xanthe said, airily, though a glance at Tanwen, and they were careful to dial their enthusiasm back a little. They even took a small step back from the human. This human did not seem like the sort they should risk accidentally revealing the non-human status of themselves and the other residents.
"I thought there were all sorts of rumours about town about the Manor, but maybe you managed to avoid them all." Xanthe said, with a slight shrug. "But no matter! I'm sure you'll have a... hmm... fun's not the right word. Interesting..? Time?" they continued, evidently speaking aloud their thought process as to how to word their sentence. "What's your name, anyway?"
