"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Taran Lawson. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance," the Branch Master said warmly, addressing Mikaela and the others.
He was a tall man in his late thirties, sporting well-groomed hair and glasses that framed a face poised in a manner that suggested intelligence and authority. His posture was healthy and self-assured, reflecting a man who commanded respect in his own right.
"The pleasure is mine, Branch Master," Mikaela replied, her tone reflecting her poise.
"Tell me, what can I do for our esteemed gold ranker?" Taran inquired, his expression shifting into one of keen interest, ready to cater to her needs.
"It is not me, Branch Master. I'm here merely as an intermediary for my boyfriend to meet you," Mikaela explained with a gentle smile, casting a glance at Alfraed positioned beside her.
