Close 'Friend'.

Argo dashed right past  Melinda and entered the Mansion lounge first.

He was there and already calling out Evelyn's name in worry when Hal walked into said lounge almost at the same time as Melinda but Argo's whole attention was on Hal who he walked over to briskly and grabbed the front of his robes which he noticed was different to the one he was wearing before.

He shook him as he yelled into the boy's face, 

"Where is my sister? You stupid servant, if you hurt her..." Argo suddenly froze as he felt a chill behind his back.

A chill that was definitely from Melinda's death glare.

Clearly, she took offense to him calling Hal a servant.

Hal chuckled, 

"Quite overprotective of you" he said and pulled Argo's hands off his robes with such ease, the young man's eyes widened in surprise.

What the hell?

He was still thinking about this when his sister Evelyn walked in with shaky legs.
