Belinda was roaming the manor at random to gain basic familiarity with the place.  Inwardly impressed by the place, but not showing it she couldn't help wondering what she would see at a home of one of the truly mighty.  A servant found her with news of Daniel's arrival.  The woman-demon was with him, it seemed.  She graciously nodded to the servant "Thany yoou,  I will receive them in the morning parlor.  Ah, coffee, whatever light refreshment you think appropriate."  The air she tried to project tot he staff was one of well-bred genteel frugality.  Not noble poverty, she had decided, it wouldn't do for the staff to think they might take some liberties with the country cousin.  Better to project an aura of old-school austerity, a distaste for ostentatious display.  It seemed to be working so far.<br/><br/>She barely made it to the parlor in time to settle in by a window seat, only to arise seconds later to receive Daniel and his companion.  But appearances mattered, especially to servants.  "Lord Daniel, Rilyth, a pleasant surprise indeed." she murmured.
