Erwan nodded his head in greeting to Ava, not surprised to see her approach, although his first glance over the area hadn't alerted him to the woman's presence. As an ally though, he didn't hesitate to follow. "Of course, thank you for coming to meet us, though we would have been find without the escort," he replied cordially, though stiff. He looked back, meeting Hayden's eyes for a second before he turned to follow Ava into the offices. In that second, there was warmth in his gaze. As he turned away though, that warmth left, his usual polite coolness settling onto his face. There was no reason to show too much now and he hoped that might work as a shield for them both. "Me too," Erwan whispered back to Ava, then walked into the office with his back straight and determination in his gaze.

"Good evening, sir," Erwan greeted, clenching his hand over his heart in the usual greeting for superior officers. "We have come to give you the report regarding our mission with the rebel dragon rider."
