Jack stepped off the Gumiship giving a little thanks to the Moogle who was an on and off partner to their relief efforts. The delivery man put his arm above his head to block out the sun as he looked around his surroundings. “It’s as impressive, as I remember it.” The delivery man muttered, as he looked up at the skyline that towered over him. He had always felt discomfort stepping foot in the Queen of Cities, for someone who’s bed had constantly been the cold hard ground and surrounded by smoke and grime, he felt out of place. Which explained his entire situation out of place. He was a courier from a back water world now going to meet the goddamn King, not the average king of his world who basically amounted to a bandit with a massive ego ruling a glorified scrapyard, but a genuine ruler with a city that didn’t have a random corpse lying around for someone to screw with. “Well, at least Reina gets to see this place.” Jack muttered to himself, his policy was always to find at least one good thing that came from stressful situations. 

“How are you holding up Rei?” The courier waited for an answer for his partner and for nothing. “Rei? Hey Reina?” Still nothing. He sighed and turned to his adopted sister. “I see you’re enjoying yourself.” Reina gave him no glance instead looking around with a neutral expression, though Jack knew Reina was a kid in a candy store underneath, after all she had been begging to she another world. “Jack, why do they build such high buildings?” Reina asked her adoptive brother.

Jack thought about it for a moment, he may have been barely literate, but that didn’t mean he was a complete idiot. He could easily give her the logical answer, to save space, but Reina wasn’t looking for the logical answer, she already knew the logical answer. “Because, it’s human nature to want to reach something that’s out of their grasp.” The courier answered her doing his best to mimic a wise village elder. Reina simply nodded and stated. “I see.” Reina tipped toed and reached for the sky. “Reina... What are you doing?” Jack raised an eyebrow at his sibling’s antics. “I’m trying to grasp something that’s out of reach.” 

The courier took a moment to try and guess if the android was being serious or if she was being sarcastic, before just smiling softly and joining with the other members of the council, quietly and quickly showing his letter which was held in between his index and middle finger to prove that they weren’t some random rift raft. They may have been in their Sunday best, (Basically their usual, but slightly cleaned up.) but they still didn’t appear anything like guests of the king. Jack put the letter back into his his coat pocket and with Reina let themselves be lead to the palace.
