neron
It played out like some ridiculous pantomime - Adam oh no you didn’ting and Loren oh yes you diding in return. Steely eyes flicked from one man to the other as they presented, rebuked, argued and contradicted (and yet somehow agreed with) each other’s information. “If you are the best the Hollowed Grounds has to offer, I weep for your lands,” he said curtly, focusing very briefly on Loren at his remark about his understanding of the summoner - and the apparent keenness to demonstrate his abilities. “Believe me, I have no need to see what you are capable of doing. I’ve seen enough in my time,” he said simply.
Then to Adam, or perhaps to them both, he spread his hands, which were gloved in black leather. “I am Neron Launceleyn, Warden of the Citadel, and I welcome you to Halo. Our wine is hot and sweet, and our people will eat you alive.” Perhaps literally, if they were lucky. “The Citadel is some distance from here - unless there is something specific you would offer, I suggest you turn back now. Come back with your Queen - or a coat, at the very least - and we will make arrangements to meet with you. You stand in the Fangs, a mountain range which flanks the tundra.”
As for mage glass, he glanced to Loren a second time. “A legend. If there is mage glass in Halo, I have yet to find any. Apologies for disappointing you. Is there anything more?”
