"My apologies," Garret announced before Khan's coldness. "It wasn't my intention to use your connection with the Solodrey family."
No one knew how much Khan had obtained from his relationship with Monica, but the Solodrey family had to own secrets about the evolution. Mentioning it before Khan could sound like an attempt to probe into that knowledge.
Garret wouldn't dare to have that purpose, but Khan's firm reaction required clarifications. It was actually scary thinking about the repercussions of that misunderstanding, but Khan solved the issue.
"I know," Khan stated, looking at Garret from head to toe. "You aren't that kind of man."
The guests interpreted Khan's gesture in many ways, with some hitting the mark. After all, Khan's senses were no secret, and he had also pretended to scan Garret during his statement. They didn't know he had done that long ago, but the result was the same.
"T-," Garret gulped, "Thank you."
