The automaton coatrack seems to step back a small bit. "Of course, Dapplewing Manor is open to all during the hours of 6 am to 10 pm. There are unfortunately no guided tours available, but you are free to look through the various items displayed on the lower floor. Upstairs are offices for professors of multiple schools. You are of course free to meet with any of them if you have business with them. Have a good day."
The pair of dwarves each steps back into line along with the other coatracks once the one finishes speaking.
Before the Dwarven coat racks move completely away, Guardok interjects.
"So there are only the two floors? Did Captain Dapplewing not have somewhere to stay away from the official business of the manor? Private quarters or some such?".
The dwarf automaton pauses as Guardok presents another question. "Yes, there are only two floors to this building. Captain Dapplewing's study is still intact on the second floor, though admittedly renovation after his passing eliminated his own private room." It then moves back into place once again.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I heard rumours there was a doll collection somewhere in the manor, and also a collection of rare magical books, is any of that on display too?" Malvyn asks with sincere curiosity.
Again, the dwarf automaton continues, keeping its place in the line of coatracks. "There is no doll collection nor collection of magical books on display in the manor."
"Oh, I see, I must have been misinformed then, no matter, thank you for your assistance."The purple-skinned tiefling says with a polite nod, then turning to his shorter friend. "Shall we continue?" He asks, ready to make a tour of the place to scope the manor out while also genuinely curiously gathering information about the old captain.
"Hold on, Mal", Guardok replies. "The coat rack said it wasn't on display, not it doesn't exist". He turns back to the dwarves coat rack, "Does either collection exist at all in the manor?".
"Oh, I don't doubt they do. I just felt it would be overly suspicious to ask more about them just hours before they would diminish in size, but I suppose we might aswell try to find out what we can here and now." Malvyn says quietly to his shorter friend, but then simply awaits the response from the animated coatrack.

"Oops", Guardok replies equally quietly, having not at all considered the implications of asking too many questions.
