[ Though Mayerling missed Rose's time in Trench, his arrival postdating her departure, he has lived in both Trench and Folkmore (confusingly, at the same time, with the dual memories to match). He appreciates everything in Folkmore all the more for his memories of Trench, though his memories of the Frontier made even Trench an improvement.
He takes the seat left for him and takes a little pride in the way Rose approves of the burrow. It's changed since Sharon arrived and moved in with him, most notably the art studio but in other ways as well, small shifts in the decor to make it reflect both of them. It's their home, not his home. He pours tea and takes the same treat as Sharon, but he neither drinks nor eats yet. ]
Vampiric senses allow me to hear and smell much in my surroundings, and I have come to know the unique heartbeats and typical scents of everyone who lives in Lapine as well as those who regularly visit. I always know when someone approaches our home well before they reach the front door. I recognized Sharon's presence and knew you had to be the person with her.
[ Everyone notices details about their surroundings, and Rose likely could list many things she knows about the home that she hasn't paid great attention to. It's simply part of life. What that is for Mayerling, compared to a human, differs, but it's a difference in scale not experience. There is the chance it will come off creepy to Rose, but at least she knows and can do what she will with the information. It is not as though Mayerling will comment on the minute details of what he can smell on a day-to-day basis. Unless he has good reason to bring something up, it will simply be noted as part of who she is. ]
