Beck sprang to his feet. "Elian."

He didn't get to finish his sentence before the man strode into the room with long, purposeful steps. There was an imposing aura about him, something that felt like a mountain advancing with each stride, demanding respect and a hint of fear even before one could clearly see his face.

Beck cleared his throat slightly. "Uhm." he barely started as he suddenly shot a quick glance at Miranda as if reminded of her presence. He didn't use Elian's full title, instead opting for a more formal address. "Mr. Ashcroft, rest assured, I fully respect her decisions."
