Asher was surprised for a moment as his mind immediately drifted back to the moment Arianna had said their fathers were best friends. Of course, he had been doubtful at the time, as he didn't see Azaron as the type of man who had friends.
But now, seeing it for himself, he understood Arianna hadn't been lying. There was no way Azaron would introduce someone as a nutjob right in front of everyone. That sounded like something only the closest of friends would say to each other.
Hearing Azazel talk about his daughter's face being smashed against a wall, Asher could only smile helplessly as he replied, "My apologies, sir. That only happened in the heat of the moment. I will try not to let that happen next time," his tone apologetic and helpless, as though the situation during the battle had been beyond his control.
