THLAM THLAM THLAM. A knuckle raps against the door of Brandt's office. Without permission, an overbearing figure equipped with full harness polished to a mirror sheen barges in, saluting the Keeper, who sighs wearily and reclines in his chair.

Despite this, the Keeper still manages to cut him off with a single snide remark.
"Yes, important meeting, my presence is required, et cetera. It wouldn't kill you to wait until I invite you in before opening the door." Unenthused, he rises to his feet, clasping his hands behind his back as he regards you. "Do forgive me. We will have to postpone this discussion for the time being."

At last, I can enjoy the comforts of the city and catch up on some reading all the while.>I wonder what that insipidly cheerful girl at the Dreaming Dragon is doing.
