[@Sanity43217] [b]the king[/b] The king blinked. He looked in the direction of the old man. He narrowed his eyes. Something was not quite right. Besides, he did not recall his staff or his guards informing him of his arrival. Years of instincts were activated, although he was not sure what was going on. He decided to simply keep an eye on things for the time being. He took a breath. He pointed down to the very lowest dungeon-like levels. They were rooms with only the very bare essentials. This man was not a 'guest' , and yet could not be turned away. He had to save face, but at the same time, he did not wish for this man to have free reign of the castle. "You may have a room in those halls." He said nothing more.
