Reaper of Rishiri

[Annis]

Quite patiently, he lets her explain from start to finish, never interrupting and never interjecting even as her speech is practically pervaded by anxiety rather than lucidity. It's still intelligible and that suffices. "Very well, Duchess. I believe you. It would have been disappointing to find out that you of all people had been responsible." He just grew quiet now, looking at some displays on the table before making a few motions with his hands and turning it off altogether.

"Not to imply any disrespect, my Duchess. But I would request of you to come by yourself or bring less culpable escorts. It is not my place to tell you what company to keep, but your King would have responded to the presence of such filth the same way." It seemed as if he was fairly convinced as if retaliation was the right response to the Captain's death, though it also didn't seem as if he had anything else left to say, and was waiting to see if Claire required something of the ship or its crew.
