On the inside, Klement isn't entirely sure how he should feel about that. His training in the business did do something to raise the levels of flattery he exudes from time to time, and like dancing along the edge of a knife he's been careful enough to not lay it on thick. This meeting, like most of the others he's attended, reminds him that he's still remains on the 'safe' side of that talent.
Now, perhaps because of the hour, he barely remembers the thing about inviting vampires into one's house. And one would think to have better judgment in accepting an invitation from a vampire. But does it count? Does it still hold true in reverse?
Since the faint warning signs never cross the Antiquary's mind, these answers are left unknown. "Indeed. I would be honored, Mr. Osborne," Klement smiles through the onset of exhaustion. "I look forward to it."
Will he regret it later? Maybe. But business is important.
