Before he even has time to think it through, he's getting up and walking toward the door, expecting Iorveth to follow. With one hand on the hilt of his dagger, he's not certain what he plans to do with the tiefling once they're face-to-face, but—
He swings the door open and suddenly they are, and he swallows thickly. ]
Finally. I've been just dying to meet my secret admirer.
