All is quiet except for the airship's low humming and the clicks of two pairs of heeled boots walking down the corridor, then a door opening. Two men stand in the doorway. One holding the door open is about 5,6 with short light grey hair and magenta eyes. The other is about 5,8 with slightly longer black hair and golden brown eyes.
"H-How may I help you, S-Sirs??" Stutters the young waiter.
"Can I have an Earl Grey tea please." The shorter says
"And you?"
"I'm fine thanks." The taller says. The waiter nods and the two sit down at a table further away from the rest.

The shorter pulls a book from his satchel when the waiter places down the tea in front of him.
"Thank you."
"Your welcome."
The waiter walks off as the shorter opens the book.
"Eric what is this??" The black haired man asks.
"Doctor Alexander Luca Bondevik's journal Sebastian." Eric answers and Sebastian sighs.
"You have that because?"
"Boss wants to hire him but first she wants to see what he does." Eric says picking up his tea, turning over a few of the pages. Sebastian looks around the room, scanning for any spies before being startled by Eric gagging.
"This tastes horrible! It doesn't even taste like tea!!"
"I told you it wouldn't be proper tea due to the war and its trade restrictions..." Sebastian says closing the Doctor's journal and placing it in Eric's bag as he glares at the tea in his hand.
"I know but-"
A shake rocks the Ship causing the foul tasting tea to spill, burning Eric's hand slightly.
"Ouch! Bloody Hell that hurts!" Eric cries pouting, looking at Sebastian. One of the other passengers yells out.
"What was that?!" As the Ship shakes again. Sebastian and Eric exchange a look before saying.
"Wolves."
