Grindan respectfully bowed his head to his new king and long time friend. A small show of subservience and respect, but they both had better things to do then stand at ceremony or have him prostate himself on the ground. That sort of thing was for spineless lackeys like Ingo. 

"[color=f26522]Some of the wild Stalphos decided to commit suicide by attempting an assault on us.[/color]" Grindan stated bluntly in regards to whatever delay may have occurred. "[color=f26522]Little more then pests, but next time you don't have need of me I wouldn't mind taking some forces and either making them bend the knee to you or wipe them out. Such open hostility towards forces loyal to you can not be tolerated.[/color]" In fairness, Grindan's views on the wild Stalphos had never quite been hidden; It was honestly a point of disquiet with the former King of Hyrule that instead of doing anything about the undead menace that had occupied the central heartlands of Hyrule, he had opted instead just to have the draw bridge closed at night and ignored them. 

As for the report about the job he was sent out to do... "[color=f26522]It did. Talon has had all claims to the Ranch voided.[/color]" there was a brief pause, before he added "[color=f26522]I decided to give Ingo something of a test of worth. The Ranch itself has been given to Talon's daughter Malon, with Ingo being caretaker of the Ranch and Malon's teacher of the business aspect of things until she is of age. If Ingo does a good job in this role I believe that between his administration abilities, personal ambition and fear of what would be done to him if he failed or displeased you, he would prove a suitable candidate to manage some of the land vacated by the parasites that were Hyrule's former nobility.[/color]" There was a small shrug as he added "[color=f26522]If he fails, then clearly he was too stupid to grasp the opportunity presented to him and we can just cut him loose.[/color]"   

Grindan fell silent as he waited to see how Ganondorf responded to this information.
