I was very much thinking of the Houseless operating in manner 2 -- pleading with the host for shelter, gaining it, and then 'seducing' the host (i.e. convincing the host to submit to the Houseless by tricking the host, lying to the host, scaring the host, threatening the host -- in short, doing everything that one mind does to another to convince/cajole or manipulate aquiesence rather than simply 'taking over' -- which, so far as I can tell, never happens in Tolkien's mythos).
