Eileen cracked a wide grin at the deep bow and show of courtesy. She spent most of her time around the rough dock hands, it wasn't often she received a grand bow with a flourish.
"Very well then," she paused for a moment and then opened her mouth with a mighty roar and shouted across several docks. "Tosan!" her voice echoed. She looked down at the papers she been given and started plucking through them, making sure they appeared legitimate, though she knew they were. In short order a young man sprung up at her side, the same young man who had brought her news of their arrival.
"Yes Ma'am? What is it you need?" he asked. She looked over at Lee and nodded in their direction. "Take them to my office and go over the paperwork that needs done." She handed him the sheaf of papers she'd been given. "These are the official papers for their arrival. Get everything in order and we shall come back in some time to give them a final look-see and get the Bosun here's approval."
"Yes Ma'am." The man looked towards Lee and waved a hand. "I'll show you the way, if you'll just follow me, sir." And the two were on their way. The Dock Master walked towards the Bosun and landed two mighty claps on his shoulder as she came up next to him. "Well my dear boy, why don't we walk? Tell me about the seas and what brings you here, though I have a feeling I already know the answer to both." She began to walk, just assuming he would keep stride next to her as she went through the busy dockyard. "And don't worry about the paperwork for now, your reputation proceeds you, and your papers appear in order. Tosan is a good assistant to me, and he'll make sure everything is taken care of. When you are free, stop back by my office and we'll go over the final signatures."
