Cor, sadly, recognizes that kind of expressionless, so he's quick to answer the first question. "Thankfully, yes. His Majesty, King Mors...wasn't exactly pleased with my choice of words, but he otherwise found no reason to reject your request. I think you'll be pleased to know that I'm now the Marshall of the Crownsguard." Aka, he's right below Clarus on the chain of command for that group.

That last question, though, only brings a pained look to his face. "...we'd better go inside. It's best to be sitting for this kind of talk." As he leads his young prince/future king into the house, he does ask one simple question: "Have you run into any of the others from home yet?" Though there's an unspoken question attached to it: And how much have they told you about what happened?
