Walking into the Portmaster's office, the large bearded man quickly turned to address the princess, wholly ignoring me or Guidance as his eyes bore straight into Shizu's head. The office itself was pretty cramped, the man's desk occupying almost half of the available space as the man himself occupied around a quarter of it. That of course meant that the five of us were left sharing the remaining twenty-five percent of the room.

"The Emperor had sent word of your arrival if that's what you're asking," the man absently continued, taking a huff out of his cigar before he spoke. "The [Rig]'s ready for voyage. You just have to make sure it's gonna run properly before heading out."
