“I see,” Lung rumbled in his low, accented voice, “Allfather no longer leads the Empire. He died and was succeeded by his second in command, Kaiser.”
“That’s some consolation. Still, I worry. He might have made arrangements.”
“Perhaps.”
Dang it, Lung, that’s what I was gonna say.
“I suppose I will have to wait until another villain from Brockton Bay comes here to hear further news, yeah?”
Lung’s response was unintelligible.
“Tell me of my daughter? What did she look like?”
It’s clear that Marquis does care about Amy and her safety.
A slow smile spread across Lung’s face, but it did not reach his eyes, “This no longer interests me. If you wish me to say more, we should negotiate.”
Aaand there we go.
