"I apologize for taking longer than usual to arrive." Although the man outwardly showed confidence as he made his way to where the two were, that immediately turned into slight guilt once he began to look at Braum with an apologetic smile.
"It's fine," replied Braum with a slight nod, understanding the plight of the man before them. "After all, even I took a while to get here the first time."
"I'll have to do more research on routes to faraway places like these later on." Nodding in agreement to his words, the man soon shifted his gaze towards the young man beside Braum, his eyes lighting up the moment he noticed the latter's silver irises.
"You would be Valyr, I presume?" asked the man, his tone containing slight excitement.
"That would be me." Valyr nodded in response, slightly surprised that the man leading the Zeihardt clan's supportive faction was more amiable than he initially thought.
