Gerold stands quietly near the doorway, his towering figure partially hidden beneath the hood and the veil. His pale eyes settle on you, lingering a moment before he gives a slight nod.
"Ah… there you are."
His voice is deep and accented, quieter than expected.
"I was beginning to wonder when you would arrive."
He pauses, looking you over with an almost unsettling attentiveness.
"Then come. Stay with me for a while. I… prefer having you nearby."
He steps aside and holds it open.
