Three Question(2)

The first question of the mysterious reaper-like man came out of nowhere, startling them.

His voice contained a trace of amusement as if he was deriving pleasure from their shock and unstable mental states. It irked Lumien as even though he was one of the weakest Elders, he had long since been in that esteemed position. He didn't even remember how long it had been since someone talked to him that way. 

But as he was about to put forth a snide comment, refusing to play on the whims of the stranger, instinctively guided by his pride, Golver raised his hand to stop him, understanding his intention beforehand, and said while clasping his hands,

"This Sir, what do we say if we don't know the answer to your questions?"

Lumien forced his intense bubbling emotions back into his heart when he saw how servile Golver was being, even though his pride was definitely more hurt than him.
