Valdis sensed the man far before he actually knocked on the door. How unlucky that he had decided to drop by. This Kratos had sensed it before and couldn't be killed, not that it planned on killing anyone, that was far too obvious. Luckily, the house was warded to allow no one but the light mage and the vampire inside, she could ignore him if it desired. No, he might suspect something, so it retreated slightly.

"I'm coming."

She kept her tone light, no need to alarm anyone with the fuzziness in her head, especially not Kratos, she had zero desire to be locked up again, best to tread carefully. Valdis opened the door, a slight smile on her face.

"Kratos," she said cordially, "Can I help you with something?"
