Dessa raises her eyebrows, impressed. Such manners!
"Now that is a way to be greeted. Well met, Heir of the Ninth House," she says, nodding in deference to Harrow. "You would indeed seem to be in the right place, and I welcome you."
Ingress steps forward. "Marylebone, I was wondering whether we might have your permission to enter the crypt and, perhaps, the catacombs. We'll leave everything as we found it."
"Do not stray past the first level, of course," the Marylebone warns. "Please enjoy what my fiefdom has to offer. However Clement and I can't go with you as we have, ahem, pressing business to attend to."
Clement's ears go pink, and Ingress hides her snicker. She knows all about this kind of pressing business. Once she grew up, she realized that Tom and Door often had these kind of "appointments" on a semi-regular basis.
"We'll be fine on our own. Thank you, so much, for your kindness and welcome." Ingress drops into a curtsy, gives Clement a teasing side eye, and says with a perfectly straight and innocent face, "May your business be conducted smoothly and with great success. I shall make time to visit another time, when we our schedules match better."
Dessa gives them a final nod, and Ingress regards Harrow once again. "Shall we?"
