jumps a little, startled at his voice. It was one of the few things she wasn't expecting today. "H-Herr Vincze?" She walked to the window

and looked at him. "It is you... "

chuckles and nods a bit as he apologizes. "Oh forgive me if I startled you, Fraulein! Yes, it is I. I did promise that I will visit."

smiled softly at him. "I wasn't expecting you though... it's a nice surprise. Oh, please do come in. The door should be unlocked. I'd hate

for you to be stuck out there on my account."
