[On the other side of the window, the stupid face in question flashes a positively charming smile of greeting for that unimpressed stare, complete with a little flicker of fangs to accompany the off-color eyes bright against the gloom outside. Very not vampire! Very typical visitor activity!]
Normally I would have, yes! But alas, on this particular evening, the doorbell is just a little too close to the main street and its many passing eyes. To anyone but you, I'm not here at all tonight, hmm?
[The question's a lilting drawl as he lets himself inside, thanks very much! There's probably some frankly impressive flexibility being employed here, though the motion's so quick it's difficult to track; Hugo pulls himself through the window in a blur of purple and flickering accessories, avoiding touching Wise's bed entirely in favor of an artful landing on the floor. Drawing back up to his full height from there...well, Wise has probably had sorer thumbs in his room before, but Hugo's business refinery against the pristine but humble interior is likely still pretty stout competition. Hat on his head, and his metallic briefcase in hand at his side; somebody been working, it would seem.
But to his credit, he does have a modicum of good manners left! The hat's getting promptly swept off and pressed to his chest instead, as he turns properly to Wise, still smiling.]
I'd been on the roof for a little while, to be honest! But I just wasn't quite sure how best to inform you without too much alarm, you know...? [""Too much alarm"", huh.....]
