Death Knight?

A door then opened in the office. It was Khal who had been away for a good day or two. He saw the pacing Aden Flamewood suddenly come to a stop after noticing his presence.

"Ah!? Erm, Hello Mr. Flamewood! Hahaha didn't expect to still-" Khal was caught off guard by Aden's presence. He was actually somewhat intoxicated and had completely ignored his subordinates' words. Seeing the count sobered him up instantly. Regardless, he was cut off by the count before he could continue speaking.

"Khal! Where- No, any news?!" Aden was originally going to inquire about Khal's whereabouts but quickly realized he didn't care. He instead pressed for any new developments.

Khal was instantly put in an awkward spot but as to not lose any face, he decided to tell him something he might or might not know.
