Melchior gives no sign of having seen the receptionist's gesture and truth be told he's not particularly concerned. To be sure, there are a number of possibilities as to what it might indicate, but at this stage it was just one more item to file away along with the strange scents that permeated the manor. For a simple double-cross it looked like it would be tiresomely complicated.As he enjoys the... spirited ride to their new abode (and privately wishes his mask weren't so frustratingly respectable, having to sit back against the wall without fidgeting overmuch was more tiresome than arranging a murder in his humble opinion), Melchior begins to turn his mind to the more immediate project. His role as backer would allow him to get away without a comprehensive knowledge of wine, but even so it would be wise to spend an afternoon in Morgrave library to memorise a few one liners that could convince the layman he knew what he was doing and the expert that he was a pretentious fop who thought he knew what he was doing. Likewise he wanted to go over his newfound cousin's paperwork. Getting caught out by the Kundurak over something so simple would be humiliating to say the least... though even that might present its own opportunities, shouldthe dwarves decide they have potential blackmail material.When the cart comes to its' final, sudden halt Melchior immediately rushes out to inspect the premises. Respectable enough... if somewhat cheap by the standards of the people Dormiano expected them to mingle with, it would get by, though Melchior doubted they'd be hosting any parties any time soon. For someone eager to disbarage their fashion sense Dormiano sure was a cheapskate when it came to his employees.Melchior turns back to the group and beckons them over with a quick gesture. "Hey... Avram was it? Much as I would like to admire the garden I'd appreciate it if we could get inside before this city decides to grace us with some of its famous rain."While he waits for Avram to comply, he idely begins searching the bottom floor windows of the house for any obvious security measures and to try and get an idea of how well protected the house is. Security is far from his forte, but there can be no harm in making a personal assessment before relying on more talented but far less trustworthy colleagues.</blockquote>
