Looks as though they had all just popped in to say hello. Neron watched with an arched eyebrow and a cool gaze as Adam promptly left and was replaced with a cold, formidable blonde with whom he got a feeling he would enjoy exchanging barbs. Also - wonderful - the Queen of the Hollowed Grounds herself. Locking eyes with Loren, he offered a mere shrug of his shoulders. “I owe you nothing. People change - in my case, more than expected. Some of us were able to arrive here in the company of family. Some of us were not as lucky.”
Maybe there would be time for heartfelt I missed yous on another occasion. At present, his little brother’s pompous introduction felt somewhat deflated as he promptly left as well. Blinking at what seemed like a particularly terrible false start, he reached out to shake Wessex’s hand.
“Delays and my family aside, I hope you are able to shed some further light on your purpose for being here. There has been talk of many a bounty from the Hollowed Grounds - forgive me, but my knowledge of the place suggests otherwise. And all this, in exchange for something I cannot give you.”
