This man had kept the Luminary safe all this time and Hendrik scowled at the implication that he would harm the boy or allow harm to come to him. That insult alone made him want to rethink his neutral stance. So the other's challenging glance was met with a glare.

Knowing the other had saved his charge was the only reason the knight didn't lash out. "We will see to the matter regarding your intentions." And if the other made one false move Hendrik wouldn't hesitate to correct the error. But on the other hand as long as this man protected the Luminary as well, he was right in stating that there would be no quarrel between them personally.

However, the knight's gaze went to Eleven a bit puzzledly. Apparently he'd said nothing of who he was back home?
