With every word, Lindon felt less and less prepared for this conversation. He had no idea who the major players were in the Blackflame Empire, no sense for the different clans. Or even the function of the Arelius family; Eithan had introduced himself as a janitor, but Lindon couldn’t tell whether that was a joke.
I feel like Eithan is always dead serious, even when being super funny about it.
