Even Lex is capable of surprise, and he's not expecting to be spoken to by the uh, glorious bastion of Avaar that has graced the forge's presence, but that shows mostly in the lift of his eyebrows. Once the statement addressed to him actually gels in his brain, they ...go up some more. "Yngvi's still alive? Gunnar must be up for some kind of--fraternal medal."

(He has no idea if they're brother-brothers or Carta-brothers either, but. It serves the purpose.)
