He'd sort of expected Ira's father to be big like her, but as the man comes into sight, he finds himself wishing Ira had warned him properly about the sheer size of the man. Incurring the wrath of a giant among men is rather low on his list of life goals — but it's too late for regrets or second thoughts now.

I'm Winterbourne. It's nice to meet you both, His response is primarily directed at the leader who'd spoken to him, but his gaze flits briefly to the other as he finishes.
