"Are you trying to scare my friends?"
"That depends on who they are," laughed the voice, echoing less and less as it got closer. A moment later, a tall, broad figure appeared from the hallway. The man instantly blinked and was taken aback the moment he spotted the gorilla. "What… Who, may I ask, are your friends?"
"Zelsh, do you remember Ania, Bradok's prized daughter?"
"Ania??!"
"And this is Vloz, the long-time companion to Bradok's idiot son, Rathe," Jarrit continued the introductions, getting the king to be silent for a moment. "Also, Puula and her daughter, Netra, have tagged along as representatives of Ania's and Vloz's territory."
"Oh, so Bradok actually got himself a vacation home?" joked the king, getting a laugh from the traveling party. He lowered his head in a friendly bow, keeping his eyes raised ever so slightly. "Welcome to my city. Any friend of Jarrit's is a friend of mine, especially for someone like you, Ania."
