Having re-composed himself and having a brief drink, he returned to see the meeting breaking up. He had spoken all that he needed to and began making his farewell rounds.
"Mr. Copperton," he said, "good to meet you. I hope to see you elswhere."
"Victor," he then said as he turned, shaking his hand as well, "always a pleasure."
He then turned to Admiral Revenor and gave a salute to his commanding officer, "I will be at Freeport 6 should I be needed." He turned to leave but then turned back, wondering if he had become concerned over his exchange with the Major, "do not worry, Sir, I will not go after the Royals in Gallia but Khaless help them if they come after us."
Tall and proud, he made his way out and making his way home.
