"It's been a while, Uncle Drew," Kent said with a cheerful smile.
Uncle Drew didn't reply at first. He first turned back into his human form, flashed Kent a smile, and finally responded.
"Indeed, young master. I hope you've been well."
Kent nodded before turning his attention to the two figures behind Uncle Drew. By their appearances alone, he could tell one was female and the other male.
"They are the new additions to the ranks of the Night Riders," Uncle Drew explained. "It's my job as the captain of the Night Riders to find those I can lead into the night."
Kent nodded in understanding. "I see. But I must first complete their transformations."
Uncle Drew nodded again, having brought them for that very reason.
Kent stepped toward Aria, who met his gaze from beneath her hood. She didn't appear agitated or confused. Despite meeting Kent for the first time, she could sense that he was someone with immense authority over her.
