"Good morning," Blank announced politely. "I come in the name of the Velberth family. I am traveling with my undead servants. We're here mostly to purchase supplies and explore the dungeon. Is there an entrance fee?"

"..."
The two White Ghost guards stared back at him with completely expressionless faces, their pale, ethereal features utterly devoid of emotion. They did nothing but blink slowly in eerie silence.
"Hello?" Blank tried again, his brow furrowing slightly. "Did you hear what I'm saying?"
"..."
"..."
Still, they offered no response whatsoever, continuing only to blink with mechanical regularity.
"I am from the Velberth Family," Blank repeated, his tone sharpening with disbelief. "Would you not even have the basic decency to respond to my words?"
"..."
"..."
The same unnerving silence greeted him once more. The entire group exchanged uneasy glances, the growing tension thick in the air.
