Now standing before the chief, Carl felt the gravity of the moment. It was his first formal audience with Logan, and though he was apprehensive, Kro's assurances echoed in his mind, it was an auspicious summon.
Carl pondered what this meeting could portend.
"Ease yourself, Carl. Take a seat," Logan beckoned, studying the young beastman carefully. Carl, not overtly imposing but with a demeanor of quiet confidence, maintained a courteous smile despite his obvious nerves.
Logan appreciated the young beastman's effort to present himself well; first impressions were, after all, profoundly significant.
Carl glanced at the proffered seat but chose to remain standing, maintaining his composed demeanor.
Logan smiled, recognizing Carl's respect for protocol and didn't press further. "Carl, your contributions were pivotal in our recent successes. Has Kro recognized your efforts appropriately?" he inquired with a congenial grin.
