That is indeed unfortunate. Klaus is a good friend of mine, but I understand people can have disagreements from time to time while still having the greater good firmly in their hearts. If you would like I can speak to him and make sure that you keep the peace here. There is clearly a foe that is quite willing to make us all puppets in their damnable game, so I'll make the case to him for an understanding between you two, at least for the moment.

[regarding the question of acquaintance.]

I am also pleased, to hear from another man of honor. There are several such, here in mayfield, and I will happily introduce you.
