Mr Ling walked down the Central hall carrying a large case and a grin. It had been nearly a decade since he had been in Kusari space, having an opportunity to visit once when he was a child. The customs fascinated him, and the food and finer things were always top quality. He checks his watch, an ancient piece of technology he'd looted from who-knows-where. "Fastest engines in the west. Hopefully Drake brings the Ale." Looking up, he saw Misaki greeting the guests, and his attention was drawn to the eyepatch. He felt extremely aware of his sunglasses, but he didn't understand why...
He casually fixes his clothes, hoping to draw light attention to the sheer amount of monetary value he was wearing, lights a Cardamine cigar, makes sure his old-age watch was visible on his wrist, and steps up to his first duty at any festivity:Locate the alcohol.
