"Master Lucius, I will have our manager answer your question. However, I'm afraid the outcome will still be the same," said the doorman.
"Stop talking, go and get your manager," barked Lucius.
The way the doorman talked was not at all rude, but from Lucius and Rais' perspective, he was being incredibly rude by not allowing them into the building.
After he found another to take his place, the doorman excused himself, "I'll be right back."
When the manager arrived, he explained the situation. No matter how courteous he was, he still would not let them in.
"I'm sorry Masters Rais and Lucius, I'm afraid I cannot allow anyone in without a proper invitation. Today's event is very important and prestigious. Perhaps I could offer some form of compensation? Everything you do tomorrow will be all taken care of!"
Lucius groaned. "You--- gah!"
