Doc motioned down a wide hallway, "My office isn't far. I have set us up to chat there." With his hands behind his back, they made a casual walk to his office.
As they walked, Doc gave a brief history of Baffin and of Shasta itself. "Shasta sits above the Goddess Geode. It is the Geode that enables us to mine the pineal amulets that have become so popular with many. We set them in gold, silver, platinum or a combination of them depending on the customer," he explained, "the only real draw back is that Shasta sits off the superhighway but it's visible to traders who wish to stop."
They approached the door to his office which slid open. He allowed the prince to enter first.
"My home away from home," he stated as he allowed the Prince to look about. "This was the office given to me by our late founder, Malaclypse, a man to whom I owe much. As such, his portrait sits on my back wall. Beyond that wall is quarters for when my wife and kids come to stay."
Beneath the portrait was also a baby grand piano.
He stood by the bar, his hands still presenting the open front. "Might I offer you a drink, Prince?" he asked, "You have many choices."
