"A rare pleasure to meet you all, I'm honoured to be a guest at your table and your home."
He raised his glass in thanks.
"I'm certain you know who I am but for formalities sake; my name is Edward Brisbane and please call me Eddy, or Edward which ever you prefer. I operate Boundless Transport Enterprises known in less legitimate terms as The Profiteers, horribly generic I know, but when you're a group of smugglers masquerading as mindless traders it pays to be generic.
Together we shall make ourselves rich enough, as Senor Franco said, to retire as young as Senor Jose. Perhaps a few years younger."
Brisbane ended with a hearty grin.
"Now that the formality is out of the way, I look forward to getting to know you all and one day repay your hospitality. And I promise not to terrify any more of your kitchen staff, a truly embarrassing tale that must be told after a good meal to do it justice."
He turned to Valeria.
"I'm afraid Senorita Valeria that Barrier Gate does not instill much culture to it's denizens, though I suppose that too is a form of culture in it's own right. However I am fascinated with the richness of your heritage, Ronaldo was kind enough to endure my endless questions during my tour so it would be only fair to answer any questions you may have."
