She did know, though the wait for him to arrive was painful, something she sees her dizzyingly trying to focus her mind on anything other than the knowledge that she feels weak right now, her eyes a little bit unfocused and knowing she would burn up if she stepped outside. Well, other than the fact there's tree cover? But she did know as he got up the hill to get to the manor, the bats alerted her. And once... well. once he was inside, three bats get up in front of him to direct him up to the second floor.

But more importantly, in the dimly lit (and with red lights) manor, she smells him. And his blood. That's what alerts her more than anything that he's here, and it causes her to rise up to at least her knees on instinct. She feels incredibly off base right now, her body having not consumed blood in at least a month, maybe two. Maybe she had been human in that time? Who knows, either way, right now...?

She visibly looks closer to ninety years old than not. Thin, gaunt, wrinkled. But she's still got some energy at least as he instincts are kicking in. She'll try to repress them when she sees the man, but her eyes have gone a little catlike as she tries to get herself composed.
