[Truth be told, even Regis is shocked by how far his words have reached. He had hoped to reach the ears of the Gods but they've chosen to ignore him. Contacting them in private is the next step but that is a task for another day and a task he given to Noctis. His son is anxious to assist him and Regis won't spurn his aid. This is why he haven't gone through the task of contacting the deities himself.]

Ah, Maketh! [He greets the woman with such a smile once he opens the door.] I'm truly grateful to see you unharmed before me. Oh, please come in!

[Regis quickly shuffles out of the threshold so the guardswoman could enter. He'll even reach for her coat if she has one. The King of Light is a hospitable host.]

Does all bode well, Maketh? I...I do realize that we meet upon a somber note now that the shadows have passed. [He speaks of the doppelganger.] Believe when I say that I wish not to presume too much but I'm concerned.
