[Natori's just taking the water off when Vangeance arrives (despite his objections; making tea is one of the few things in his very limited kitchen repertoire, please let him have this) for the two mugs waiting expectantly with cheap teabags inside (maybe "making" tea is a stretch). He turns to look over his shoulder as Vangeance steps in.]

Sorry, I should have asked-- the wards shouldn't give you any trouble if you're an invited guest either way, but if you're not human I can take them down if you'd prefer. [It's easy to say this matter-of-factly; it's a weird place, this Fogtown, and he's not taking anything for granted anymore. With its normal slurping wet sound, the lizard crawls from under his collar to sit on Natori's face as if checking out their visitor.] This is just meant to keep uninvited spirits out.
