Danger he is used to, and it's always better to know the truth of a matter and approach it with open eyes rather than to race in blind. He's young still, impulsive and impetuous in a way that tempers more with each year of his life that passes. But he's still full of fire, still every inch the red paladin.

[He'd more than happily face whatever nightmare conjured if it meant finding his way to his child's side.] I'm Alfor, though I'm finding that introduction to be unnecessary again and again.
