Sorry about the wait. things have been crazy. I promise I'll update more often!
The man bowed, Then helped me up. "Your ship is lovely.'' I manage to say, stuttering slightly. I notice the strength and refinement of his hand. He lead my across the ship, watching with mild interest at me marveling at it. At length, we came to a set of doors. Opening one of them he ushered me into it.

I look around, saying,'' Thank you. This place is amazing.'' He nods, then says as he walks through the door,'' I'll leave you to unpack. I'll will send someone to collect you for dinner.'' He left, closing the door behind him.
