Cool blueish green eyes took in the man marching towards him even as he nodded at Eleven's introduction. The other's words weren't too friendly but Hendrik let that slide for the moment. The boy wearing black didn't bother him, after all he himself wore all black with a two headed golden eagle emblazoned both on his chest plate and the back of his cloak.

He wasn't here to start a fight, he was just here to protect his charge. But he stood his ground and didn't move an inch. And then his eyes narrowed at hearing the word dark, and that was the one word that he heard above all else.

Back home he had known a man with very long blonde hair that had served a dark master. And he'd trusted that man with his life more than once in fact, as they were boyhood friends who had grown to men and became revered and trusted knights of the realm. But then that childhood friend Jasper turned away from their boyhood pact to protect the kingdom and gave himself over to the darkness.

Was this person in front of him somehow tied to darkness here? The knight studied the other and wondered if the darkness from back home had somehow made its' way here. Back home they'd defeated Mordegon and Hendrik had thought that concluded their business with anything of that nature.

Perhaps he'd been wrong.

And maybe that explained Eleven's odd behaviour since he'd arrived. For the moment however it was a puzzle his simple mind couldn't figure out. Jasper was always so much better at strategy, riddles and puzzles than he ever would be.

"I see." was all he said.
