Seeing that they're not about to come to blows, Balthazar withdraws and pours his own tea, then sits, more or less halfway between the other two. He's relieved he won't have to explain the concepts to Dave, at least.
"I'm not going to ask how it happened." At least not right now. "For your information, here and now the year is 1994. This is my world, and in it there has been a Horvath much like the one you seem to be acquainted with, but he's currently in the Grimhold. The one you see before you, on the other hand, is visiting me from yet another dimension. We met in a sort of cross-dimensional hub. So I understand your alarm in seeing us chatting like old friends, but in this case, we are old friends."
He sighs. "More importantly, Maximus, in his world, is the last Merlinian, much as I am here." And that's Horvath's cue to take over, should he have anything to add.
