The residential district is much quieter than the main city, so in terms of living arrangements, it should be a little more comfortable. And, if there's anything I can do for either of you to make sure it stays that way, just let me know, and I'll consider it done. I already drew up the paperwork to get a visa for you so there'll be no questions.

Can I ask - what happens, after you defeat this Cytherea? What's the plan?
...The Ninth House is dying. We need intercession to survive. Most of our population is aging, and we haven't had a new birth on the planet since mine. No other necromancers besides me, either, and, for obvious reasons, no children, hardly anyone of child bearing age.
We need more resources, more population, and more necromancers, or we won't last. My plan has always been to find a way to draw the Emperor's notice, and to plead our case. The other Houses have the power to help us, but I never wanted to rely on that; it's the sort of assistance that comes with strings attached. I think now there are other methods I could attempt other than that.
But eventually, one day, I'll need to go back there, once I have the ability to do something for them, and lead them through whatever it is I attempt.
