Composing himself and putting on a smile, Gareth followed Leid to the throne, and he stood adjacent to Karl and slightly behind while Karl initiated. The boy figured that the knight and Karl Leid had some sort of history together, confirming his earlier assumptions about Karl. He stayed quiet as he knew the position the third partner took in a chat between two former acquaintances—the one who waited to be introduced. Harker glanced between the two slowly in a pendular motion, noting the history behind them - they both served the now-interred older brother of King Bard II in his kingship. The nature of their former relationship, to Gareth at least, continued to be undisclosed, and perhaps would stay that way if the past was itself lost. Many thoughts ran about his head while his mouth remained shut—interest, admiration, intrigue, questioning. The two before him certainly had many years under their belts, experience with Mullen's and Keilaudrin's affairs that ran deeper and more abundant than his own, and the half-elf inwardly reminded himself that he did in fact want to learn more about Mullen and its people, that this was another opportunity for him to learn and become acquainted.
