GC Tea House

Eugene looks between Ozei and Chi, then to Sei. He opens his mouth as if to say something, but someone by the door catches his eye. In his early thirties, the man has a seemingly permanent scowl on his face which doesn't help the fact that he's not good looking to start. His hair is raven black and he walks with a swagger and familiarity that bespeaks experience in barroom tussles. He approaches the table and stands next to Eugene.

"Cap'n, we have the prelims on those scans you wanted. Maintenance is done, and all stations report ready to be reviewed before you permit 'shore leave'." His accent was unmistakably Libertonian and gravelly, as was his dress.

"Ah, thank you," nodded Eugene, standing up. "This is my first mate, Mr. Samuel Gompers. With that, I believe I'll take my leave. Business calls. Hopefully my crew will be able to relax a bit before we set off again. Thank you for your hospitality, Sei-san(?)" he said, bowing his head. The slight inflection on the end of 'san' was obvious; he wasn't sure if he was using the prefix in the correct context.
