Lex, as the Innkeeper, maintained a warm smile as he gestured to Miranda to take a seat. Her associates also greeted Lex, but made it clear with their body language that they would leave all the talking to her.

"So, Miranda, how can I help you?" the Innkeeper said, taking a seat on a chair he summoned out of thin air.

"Let me introduce myself first," she said as she fixed her posture, trying to appear as proper as possible despite her apparent exhaustion. "My name is Miranda, as you already know, and I am a leading member of the Council of New Order, as well as their foreign relations director. Due to the gross negligence, stagnation of progress and greed of the previous rulers of Earth, we have taken it upon ourselves to lead our planet towards a brighter future."

"Yes, I am aware," Lex said softly, "of the changes happening on Earth. I'm hosting quite a few refugees at my Inn at the moment, all escaping from your planet."
