"Agh? Seventh Elder! It's been a while…." Argo said as he put his bottle of liquor aside, his face brightening up at the arrival of the unexpected guest.
"What brings you to my humble forge today?" he said as he wiped his hands on a soot-stained cloth, the corners of his mouth curling into a toothy grin.
Chaosbringer stepped closer, his boots echoing faintly against the stone floor as the heat from the forge wrapped around him like a thick blanket. "It's good to see you again, Master Argo," he said as his tone softened with genuine respect. "I wish this were a casual visit, but I come bearing news of great importance."
Argo's brows lifted slightly, the humor in his eyes dimming as he sensed the gravity in Chaosbringer's voice. "News of great importance, you say?" he said as he crossed his arms, leaning slightly on the anvil beside him. "Well, out with it then, lad. You've never been one for small talk."
