Lafiel whirled around smiling as she heard the familliar voice of Admiral Hale coming to a stop face to face with him.
She was surprised but overjoyed that the Admiral had made it when last she had seen him he had rescued her from the clutches of a boss of the Liberty rogues he had valiantly come on his own to the freeport to save her.
Lafiel stepped to him wrapping her arms around him in a warm hug as she spoke warmly, "Good Evening Admiral Hale welcome to my home, I am glad you managed to make it. You know Lord and Lady Canning?"
Lafiel stepped back gesturing to Lord Canning and his wife beaming with pride at the presence of the head of the foreign office who was her boss and his wife.
