Another one of the friends arrived, three now. "Let's see," the man shifted back and forth between papers, "Nai, on board. Welcome aboard."
Once again, a few steps ahead, the Captain individually greeted the passenger. This time, though, he overheard his name. "Hello, Nai, I want to personally greet you. I am Captain Ekain," his deep voice flowed as he shook his paw, and followed in a hushed tone, "but you can call my Lyke, and I hope you have a pleasant stay." He winked at him.
