It was no wonder that Karon did not feel particularly enamored with Hal's presence.
He had of course been told of the events that had happened in the forest.

No matter his displeasure, he (Karon) would always await his lord's order.
That said, Hal's casual footsteps coupled with his jovial smile that made a mockery of the significant events of that day, still caused him to frown.
