Thomas frowned slightly at the mention of Arduin II, but didn't let it bother him for long, "No, Sir Guy Arnulf passed away not too long ago. Sir Redwyne Cole the Morningstar is in command now." Thomas replied, as his smile took place on his face, again, "With Sir Redwyne commanding us, things have been going fairly smoothly. I guess that is a given, though, when a Morningstar is commanding the Order of the Thistle." Thomas added, with a slightly chuckle. Thomas then arched his head, to look at the other person, hanging away from the conversation, "Hello, sir. I haven't quite had the pleasure of knowing your name, yet. I'm Sir Thomas of the Morgan's, knight of the Order of the Thistle." Thomas spoke, softly, and smiled, as he walked forward, outreaching his hand to shake the young man's hand. Thomas was particularly interested in the young man, considering his features. While talking to a member of the old Royal court was interesting, Karl always rubbed Thomas the wrong way. Maybe it was the man's slimy and deceiving air he gave off, but he'd much rather talk to someone that shared a common blood.
