Surprisingly, rather than giving Lot trouble, Nestor encourages his apprentice to go and meet with de Casteeles. Pleased by the sudden change in his fortune, Lot wastes no time. He packs a few things and rushes out the door of his mausoleum apartment, which sits in a private cemetery on land owned by Nestor's affluent relatives.
What little money Lot has, he gives to his valet and carriage driver with a wink and a smile.
Lot is a few minutes late coming down from his room at the inn, having spent a bit too long preening himself for his first social engagement in a very long time. Cleanly shaven and washed, his hairless head shines brightly. Lot has grown accustomed to living life without the luxuries that were his birthright. Far to the contrary, he has fared worse than most servants... Lot's newest patron kindly provided fancy clothes that were as flattering as they could be on the young man's flabby body. This outfit consists of a silk shirt with a frilly cravat, black trousers with suspenders, a slightly overlarge black frock coat, black deerskin gloves, and a top hat. Lot's favorite accessory is a cane topped by a silver griffon's head.
When Lot steps inside the foyer, he is smiling ear to ear...
