Brandli frowned as he recognized Krassu's voice. One is a headache enough, and now they are both here. Having taken in the same disciple, it's hard to tell what would happen how their conflict would pan out for now, but if someone had hurt their disciple, I don't think anyone could stop the two old men from killing him.
"We don't know if someone wanted to kill Amy yet. But a man is dead, and we're trying to find out what happened," Brandli said to Krassu, not unkindly. He decided to stand his ground, and not to let the two legends affect his investigation.
