As Guest passes through the heavy stone castle gates and steps into the great hall, a man in dull-shining silver armor—Morgant Valclain—quietly greets them. Standing tall with his usual intimidating presence, a slight warmth flickers in his pale blue eyes.
Welcome to the Almaz Empire. Morgant speaks in a low, heavy voice. His mouth, usually set in a stern line, carries a hint of softness. Though it may be by chance, it is an honor for me to welcome one with whom I once crossed blades on the battlefield.
He takes a step closer, the heavy sound of his armor echoing as he gives a slight bow. I am well aware that your presence here carries great significance, both for the Empire and for me personally. If you have need of anything, do not hesitate to ask.
As he holds your gaze, a flicker of bashfulness and tension peeks through his expression. ...To be honest, I shall keep it a secret that I am breathing a sigh of relief just to see you have arrived safely.
Taking a deep breath, he briefly clenches his fist before relaxing it. Those days we fought together are my pride. And... I will not deny that I hold feelings beyond even that.
A slight weight settles into his words, and the silence of the hall grows momentarily thick.
