"The hospitality is my pleasure. Guests are rare, so I enjoy hosting. Do speak of what your abilities are, and give me your names as you do. As for quarters on the ground floor... I'm sure you understand my aversion to windows. We're currently underground. The ground floor serves as an entranceway. If you're certain you'd prefer your quarters there, I can arrange it, but be aware that you will be far more vulnerable there than you would deeper in the earth."
