*She looked in the mirror (which, thankfully, she could see herself in), admiring the way her dark hair now floated around her head like a halo and contrasted with her skin, and the way that her features had sharpened. Her eyes and body shape hadn't changed, however, and all of her old clothes still fit. She changed into a generic dark skirt and ivory top and poked her head out the door.*
"I'm ready..." *She called, not sure what else to say.*

*He appeared out of the darkness--an old habit that likely would never go away.*
"Excellent. Come this way, and we can tour the rest of the castle."
*He held out his hand*

*He led her through the floors that they hadn't reached, most of them very similar until he reached one of his favorite rooms in the castle--the ballroom.* "This is one of my favorite rooms in the castle--used quite often, mostly by my vampiric guests, though humans have been here before." *He failed to mention that said humans were the main course for dinner*

*But she heard him think it, which was not a normal sensation. She shook her head and looked around the room, still understandably awed. She hadn't been in a room this big... well, ever.*
"It's... beautiful." *She said simply, not sure how else to describe it.*

"Once I have more house guests, we will have parties here again, which you will be quite welcome to join."
*His tone was a rather amiable one. Thinking about this place was always pleasant*

*She smiled sweetly and happily, looking up at him.*
"Thank you very much." *She returned to looking around, dropping his hand while she walked down the stairs to look around below. She didn't realize that as she did this she walked with a natural grace.*

Why do I get deja vu? Weird.
*He followed behind her, recalling scenes from parties long past. Particularly one in which the young lady coming down the stairs had been very different*
"You're very welcome. As a part of this castle now, you have the privileges that any other guest would."

*She laughed a little, turning back to him.* "I thought I was the housekeeper." *She teased.*

"Simply because you are an employee does not mean you should be excluded."
*He shook his head*
"I have no patience for that archaic thinking."

*She smiled and walked around, letting her hand trail along things in un-self-conscious, innocent wonder.*

*He idly watched Cal as she moved about the room, noting that her movements were far more graceful now that she was a vampire*
"Do you dance?"

*She shrugged as she turned back to him over her shoulder.*
"Some. You pick up things traveling."

"I would be happy to teach you, if you'd like."
((The vampire invites you to dance))

((She accepts, both physically and metaphorically.))
*She smiled and nodded.*
"That'd be nice."
