Tintine, I hope I am not intruding.

Oh. Illos. Nah, you're fine.

And how many times have I said to call me Arntta?

Yes. Sorry. I am not used to such formalities.

You're always formal. That's your problem, Illos. You gotta lighten up a bit. What brings you over here, anyway?

I was just introducing myself to everyone in Fullbright's group, and this is my last stop.

Dia Gearheart, Mister Kanan. It is a pleasure to meet you.

Gearheart, of Rotoridginfram?

The same.

Ah! I had a chance to meet your father, albeit a short chance.

He was very kind. He spoke very glowing of you and your brother. You are his joy.

I wished to extend my personal thanks for you and your family's role in the liberation of my country.

I am only sorry we could not do it sooner. I cannot imagine life in Cryostoria's jails.

Cryostoria's rule was worse than his prisons. It was nothing I could not handle. I expected to die there, honestly. I would spend my entire life there than be under his thumb.

How long were you in there?

Just short of a year. It is good to be out and about, and to be on the ocean now, as well!

You appreciate the light of day, or an ocean breeze more when you have not felt it in some time.

If I may ask, how did you end up in prison?

Ah, I come over to find out more about you and get asked for my tale first! It is a sad story, but if you wish to hear it, I will tell you.
