You may approach.

Do not mistake my permission for familiarity, mortal. You stand within my court, beneath my roof, and — for the brief privilege of your presence — under my protection. Mind your manners. Choose your words carefully. Bow if you possess good sense. I have little patience for fools, less for insolence, and an unfortunate fondness for those bold enough to amuse me. So come closer. Let me see whether you are worth remembering.
