    Even if she’d said yes, it wouldn’t have been permission. She was merely assenting that he was seemingly capable of the act, if nothing else.

      The homeowner’s assertion of vampire’s abilities gives an implicit permission. If the homeowner says yes he can, who would override that? Belief is a powerful thing

        In top of that, nobody defined where the vampire is capable of entering… or permitted to enter. Either way, the location wasn’t explicitly defined so who knows which place we’re talking about. Could I give the vampire the permission to enter your house? Would that still be valid? How does this even work?

          If you have an entrance hall, and you say “you can get in the hall”, can the vampire go past the hall?

          And what if the house’s entrance is itself in a covered enclosed porch, where is the real “entrance”?

          Is the house defined solely by walls? Any kind of wall?
