"It is simple, my dear. I wanted to personally meet the one who help the child of my serf." He said with a thankful smile. "I never heard of someone that could heal that type of wound, though I am as well a magic user. Oh and gave him enough food for a decent meal."He marked a pause. "Is the child back with his family by the way?"
He walked Aluria throughout the mansion, showing her around and time to time showing a souvenir he took back from one of his numerous trip. The room where the tour stopped was his office. The office was a room about 30 feet long and wide, a fire burning on the east side and another on the west side, two windows on the north wall. The black double door by which they came in was on the south. The wall were covered with orange-red paint on the upper half and black woodwork on the lowest. The floor was covered with a Thanatian (Arabian), dark green rug with gold details. A large black wood desk with many books on it was resting near the eastern mantle, a couch near the western one. The couch was made in black velvet and ironwood. A coffee table matching the couch was in front of it. On the western mantle was a painting of Thomas maybe 3 years younger, the eastern one was bearing a family portrait. Thomas was only 8 years old and Lilicka was about 13. There was a second floor, with large bookshelves going up to the roof.
"This is where I usually work or read. This office was for my father, he never got to use it though. He died in a fire. May he rest in peace." He remained silent and then asked "Have you already eaten? Marie-Ann made diner for us tonight. Don't worry, I specified that my guest wasn't fond of animals in her plate."
He then guided her to the couch, inviting her to sit. Ringing another bell, he ask for tea when a maid came to inquire about his demand.
