[unfriendlygreen]

Good.

I assume my bedroom is upstairs then?

[heaven_on_paper]

Yes. Oh. Do you require... any particular sustenance, or...?

[unfriendlygreen]

Magic aside, I am functionally human. I eat and sleep.

I cook as well.

[heaven_on_paper]

Do you?

[ He perks up and then pretends he didn't. ]

[unfriendlygreen]

Yes, it's been a pastime for a few centuries. Anything you'd like to try?

[heaven_on_paper]

Oh, well! Are there any dishes that you would you say you make particularly well?

[unfriendlygreen]

[ now he's the one vaguely offended. ]

I make everything particularly well.

[heaven_on_paper]

[ undeterred ]

A favourite, then!

[unfriendlygreen]

Boxty.

[ A sigh. ]

I'm Irish, or would be, had I been born a few centuries later.

[heaven_on_paper]

Are you? Is it a family recipe?

[unfriendlygreen]

No. The family recipe would be the stew, but I would only cook that for someone I disliked strongly.

I learned how to cook much later in life.

[heaven_on_paper]

Well, if you need time to study the map, perhaps I can bring you some ingredients.

[unfriendlygreen]

If you tell me what you want, I can procure the ingredients myself.

[heaven_on_paper]

Boxty, as you suggested.

[ From his tone, he clearly thought that had been decided. ]

[unfriendlygreen]

Do you have a kitchen?

[heaven_on_paper]

Oh, yes. A small one. But I'm sure it's in working order.

[unfriendlygreen]

Where?

[heaven_on_paper]

In the back. I'll show you.

[ Although there are books everywhere, there is, in fact, a functional if little-used kitchenette. It is mostly just stocked with tea and cocoa. There are also some very nice bottles of wine and liquor. ]

[unfriendlygreen]

[ This is not a kitchen, he does not say. ]

I suppose I can work with this.

[ He waves a hand, this time green sparkles accompany the burnt matches smell, and supplies start appearing. ]

[heaven_on_paper]

Shall I leave you to it, then?

[unfriendlygreen]

Please, I am loathe to keep you from not selling more books.

[heaven_on_paper]

Do let me know if you're looking for anything. Don't just go poking around.

[unfriendlygreen]

I am a warlock, I can get anything I need.

[heaven_on_paper]

Still, I thought you were worried about running across something on the premises that might disagree with you.

[unfriendlygreen]

This property and your belongings seem to be mundane, but if there is anything of celestial or holy origins, you may want to keep those away from me.
