Ismark returns with the tea. He pours Ireena a cup and then will do the same for anyone who accepts. While he's pouring Ireena says, "We graciously accept your assistance with moving our father in the morning."
Ismark adds, "Yes, of course. But what of tonight? The Devil Strahd has not attacked in over a week but he certainly knows of your arrival and if he doesn't know of your offer to assist us, he soon will. He has eyes and ears everywhere. It is almost certain he will wish to dissuade you from getting involved in his affairs. As I said earlier, I doubt these walls will withstand another assault. I'm surprised our home has lasted as long as it has. No doubt, the Devil Strahd is merely toying with us. If only to deepen our misery."
