"If you prefer that," Ordhan replied. He hesitated, sheltering behind the pleasantries of greeting, not quite prepared for the conversation ahead. Perhaps a bit more thought put into the approach of the subject would have been in order. It was too late to worry over it, now, and every moment he dithered was a moment of the Warden's time he was wasting.
Lalin looked both curious and wary, but her tone held no resentment that he could sense It was as good of a start as he could hope for. He folded his arms behind his back, looking more than anything like a guard giving a report to his sergeant. "My behavior this morning, towards your friend...I wish to offer my apology, but explain as well." He glanced away for another moment of hesitation. "Dolain and I have met before. I am not sure how long you've known each other, but some time ago, at least, he strongly hated humans." He hoped that she didn't know. Even better, he hoped that she could assure him it was no longer the case.
