With introductions out of the way, Erik frowned and decided to get a little more serious.
"Listen, Ankhur," he said, with a frown. "First of all, I don't begrudge you your interest in my mother… She deserves it, and I've already lost and mourned my father. Furthermore, I don't intend to try and get in your way. Mom is perfectly capable of choosing her own partners without my interference."
Ankhur nodded slowly and appreciatively. Somewhere inside, he was relieved to hear Erik's father wasn't in the picture anymore, yet he instantly squashed that feeling as he admonished himself.
"That said," Erik continued, his eyes narrowed threateningly. "I'm sure you've heard from Naeku what I did to Lilith… Now I want you to imagine what a blow like that would do to someone weaker than her."
