Eurich picked up the slate and rapidly etched an introduction.  Bowing slightly and passing it to the other boy.  He then straightened and went to find more chairs for the ladies and the gentleman to sit in, offering up his desk chair to the boy and two chairs near the small fireplace at the far end of the room to the two ladies.  They were in a kind of triangle, with a kind of step-ladder for Eurich to sit on.  It was to reach the highest rows of shelving along his walls.<br/><br/>The slate read: "I am Eurich, Prince of the realm.  I cannot speak.  You've already met Winnefred, my  arachnid companion.  Is there anything you request of me?"  He waited for the three of them to read through the slate before he sat.<br/>__________________________________-<br/><br/>"Oh, thank you very kindly but no."  She addressed the servent, wondering how he'd managed to get the goblet in his pocket but banishing the thought from her mind.  Lilliana wondered if there were any more humans brought from the town that could be drained.  She'd seen the other servents pulling the fallen away as she left the hall to prepare herself.  She supposed they'd all been devoured, it was hard enough just finding one for every guest.  Really these feasts could not go on without drawing attention to their actions.  Though it seemed that many humans in the immediate area knew of their actions and refused to act either out of fear or ignorance.  Either way, they would have to be careful about how many they took and in what kind of organization they took them.<br/><br/>"Will you be alright, good sir?" The Princess inquired, turning her attention again to Kazuhito, who was drinking the fresh blood his servent had provided.  " I know that you were indeed a little tired before I summoned you here, and now this?  Perhaps it would be better for you to rest now."  Her eyes were filled with sympathy and gratitude, though she could have avoided the bolt and she found the deed needless in the far corners of her mind.  But her asthetic appreciation of chivalry and the brave sacrifices of men for their ladies seemed to cloud that portion of her thoughts.
