With her duty done, the woman walked away.
"You worry too much; I was fine with waiting however long I needed to," he said warmly. He nodded in acknowledgement of the compliment. "Thank you. I think so as well. Please, come in," he said as he stepped aside and motioned for Roaven to enter. "I hope Alicia didn't bother you too much," he added apologetically as he began to lead his guest further into his abode. "She's my...ah...housekeeper, I suppose would be the best term. She normally doesn't get much chance to interact with my guests, given the types of business they are normally here for, so she seems to have given up on trying to be friendly," he admitted with a hint of sadness, though he quickly banished it before speaking again. "However, she is rather friendly once she warms up to someone."
As Keaton talked, Roaven would be lead through the foyer. It was a magnificent entry room with a polished marble floor and a high ceiling with a chandelier. Various paintings adorned the walls whilst potted plants occupied the corners of the room. There were doors right, left, and center, with a pair of grand staircases on either side of the door directly in front of them, both of which lead to the second floor.
Once through that door, they would be in a rather large room. The floors were the same as the previous room, and there were similar paintings and plants, as well as a few windows on the far side of the room. There was a fireplace on the right wall and a grand piano in the far left corner. There were also quite enough armchairs and couches to seat an entire party of people. The left side of the room was rather barren of furniture, however, and seemed to be comprised mainly of several mirrors and a small platform set up in such a way that one could theoretically see themselves from almost any angle, as well as there being a desk and easel nearby -- his fashion area.
"Feel free to take a seat," Keaton said invitingly once he had finished explaining about Alicia as he gestured vaguely toward the seating area. "It would be more comfortable to sit than to stand, if one were to ask me."
