Now this was a bit unexpected. Arthur looked around, leaning on his cane before seeing the look on Augustus' face. He didn't like it. He didn't like it at all. But the fact that he was still in one piece was no guarantee that he would stay that way.
"Mr. Rookwood," Arthur nodded politely. "This is an unexpected surprise. I fear I was not expecting such an escort this morning. Had I realized you'd wanted to speak to me, I would have come to see you tomorrow morning." During business hours.
Intentions were still not clear and Arthur was steadfast in the reason that he was here and would not do anything to put his family in danger.
