“Invitations to my Haven are highly exclusive, especially at a time like this. Extending an offer, even a temporary one, is a great honor.
My favor carries quite a bit of weight amongst the aristocracy. If I invite an ally of one of our representatives, it suggests I think highly of them--and if I think highly of them, so too will our noble guests.
But is it not terribly fun if I let you choose an invitation instead?
Go peruse any enticements they may offer, then make your selection.”
