[It's fortunate for Alfred that the last thing that Klaus wants to talk about right now is the ghosts in this place: some of them haven't exactly been friendly, and it's been making him jumpy the past few days. In fact, he's even made a purchase -- drugs from this world, squirreled away -- that he's been getting closer and closer to using each day.

His tail swishes and curls up near their knees, soft fur settling there for the moment.]

Well, nobody's saying anyone's got to make that promise...

[However, Alfred does seem just a little ... well, cagey. Klaus just settles his arm down onto the other man's chest, though, and glances up at him with dark-rimmed eyes.]

But, like I said before. You're the guest, so I'll watch whatever.
