The warlock entertains the twins' enthusiasm with polite courtesy - making sure to take in every single detail with the attention it deserves - and, of course, removing his shoes upon entering his apartment after being told to do so. Every custom in its place and every effort taken to observe it. Once he has been shown into his lodgings and showered with enough knowledge of everything he will need to know, he sets about unpacking items from his long journey - heavily bound journals, reagents, everything and anything he will need for what he has been sent here for.
When Crow arrives, he is still awake, having availed himself to one of his tomes for the evening - after a little night wandering, of course - and deflecting the flirting with well-placed ripostes and warnings, though none of them overly sharp or barbed. Simply little warnings that could likely be taken as invitations for the overly flirtatious man dancing through every "where thou shalt fear to tread" as if it were some sort of invitation to danger. Once the shiny-finder has departed, the scholar moves to find slumber, solace from the sun.
Clothing is changed - a lightweight kurta and churidar pants, comfortable and practical for the purpose - before he slips into the furniture offered to him for this purpose. Before long, the red gaze flickers under heavy lids. It is dreamless. As it always is. Torpor, though short, is never pleasant. Simply darkness. A passage of time as the sun moves through the sky. While Crow spins his tales and form through the market, the elder lies silent and still in his bed, mind full of nothing and thoughts a void.
The rise of the moon heralds the end of his rest, a hand brought to his forehead as he sorts through the memories of the day prior. Yes, he is to entertain the flitty bird this evening; and good timing, too. The hunger is rising within.
Alas, he has no time to switch to something more formal - his magicked clothing, something with a bit more flair even - before the door is gently rapped upon. Crow will instead receive the vampire with slightly mussed hair and wrinkled bedwear.
"You are early, too efficient for your own good," the Balkan intones as the door slides open, midnight strands loose around his face, the darkness around his face and the earthen tones of his clothing a stark difference to the milky, pallid hue of his skin.
"I have not yet changed. I hope that will not be a problem. You may go inside. I will handle the delivery." The door creaks open all the way, the figure within moving aside to allow Crow entry first before he himself moves outside. With relative ease - as if the chests were nothing but straw - he lifts and carries them within, depositing each somewhere they will be out of the way before the door thuds shut behind him.
"Thank you. If you will wait a moment, I will wash up and change."
