Now, the figure clad head to toe in black armor isn't quite the same as the one Sion is all too familiar with. But, it's certainly far from dissimilar, and given all this talk of inner darkness, well. Suffice it to say that Sion's initial, kneejerk reaction is one of surprise and alarm, and no sooner has he laid eyes on the dark knight than he's already raised the sword in his hands. Defensively, for now, but to judge from his tenseness he's just as ready to strike should he feel the need.

Now might be a good time for some hasty explanations before he makes this far worse for himself than necessary.
