BASTIEN
Ah, it seemed this woman was not one to be taken with his over-effusive charms. Bastien, ever a master of speaking to people, lowered his energy a little, reducing the smile and quietening his voice (gave less chance of revealing his fangs if the enchantment failed, anyway). "Your homeland? May I ask where that is?" He asked, knowing that the answer could tell him a lot about her intentions.
As for the Spire itself, he turned and looked up into the tall structure, the dark stairs spiralling up into nothing. "Well...I know many have explored it in the years since it was broken, but I cannot speak to the safety of the entire building. If you wish to enter, perhaps I could accompany you? I have walked to the top and back down recently, so I know at least that much is safe." It wasn't a difficult route, the stairs themselves for the most part whole, but he wanted an excuse to speak to her more, find out what she wanted here.

Still my heart is heavy
With the hate of some other man's beliefs
