As Milo shook the man's hand, he didn't need to look down to feel the cold metal on his palm. The man was armed, and obviously fairly dangerous, if he felt it enough to wear brass knuckles. Milo returned his hand to his side, as he responded to Alec's question. "I'll be taking you to the Capital Branch Office, to meet Marshal Boyd." Milo responded as he looked back at his two companions, and nodded to signify to them to prepare the carriage. "We'll be taking a carriage to the Office, if you'd be so kind to follow me, Mister Cross." Milo said, as he turned on his heel, and started down the dock. His two compatriots had already made it down to the other end of the dock, and were prepping the carriage for travel. Milo was on edge with Alec nearby. Maybe it was the man's appearance, of maybe it was the fact that under the man's cloak he likely had more weapons than Milo had. Despite this, Milo refused to let any emotion show on his face, besides that of a stoic man.
