 The city guard noticed the entourage with no escort and quickly rushed over. They had been prepped for their arrival a short while ago, and the guard couldn't believe that the group had no escort. He gave a shallow bow and greeted the Admiral. "G'day my good sir! Did you manage to slip through the docks unassisted? The Dock Master must be deeper in her paperwork than I thought." He chuckled to himself. "My name is Gladen Walsh, and I would be happy to escort you to your destination here within Bastion, if you would. I believe the Queen herself has been informed of your fleets presence, and she is no lady to keep waiting for long, especially in these..." He cleared his throat softly. "Pressing times." His face quickly resumed a mask of friendly professionalism as he anticipated their reply. 'What a story to tell the others, escorting the Bosun and Admiral of The Bloody Fleet! Who would have thought it, eh?' he thought to himself. The times were trying, but he had to get what excitement he could and this was just the thing to do it.
