Helmer looks not only interested, but a bit astounded. Not at all unsettled by whatever development he has pieced together in his head, but surprised nonetheless.

The lack of etiquette might get a different reaction in many – if not most – domains. If Denver had a Scourge to go along with its Sheriff, Gray might not have even made it this far.
But if Denver had a different Prince there might not be a castle left for Gray to visit, and the directness of his question – unspoken as it is – snags Helmer's attention before the ensuing description sinks the hook deep and fast.
Enough of the mights and ifs, though, because Rasmussen is speaking again and this time it's in the form of a question.
"Who were you to Claudia?"
Taking a step forward and toward Gray, one arm on the opposite ribcage in a loose fist and the other resting atop, hand touching his chin as he examines the vampire that has come to speak with him. The idea he might be looking for a resemblance between this man and the woman he had described might be laughable, but his eyes dissect the way Gray carries himself with an intense curiosity.
