Emlyn continued to eat as Alice worked her way through the conversation, giving Emlyn some insight he felt was needed moving forward. If she was this straightforward about how things are supposed to be, then he would both have a problem and an advantage moving forward. He simply hoped her line of thought was able to be more flexible than that when it was required, or when it was not. Either way, the expression that she gave at his obviously failed attempt at a joke was enough to get a slight chuckle out of Emlyn before he finished the last few bites of his food.<br/><br/>He leaned back and listened to Alice's feelings on the matter, including her attempt to climb out of a small hole she had put herself in due to her choice of words. It was somewhat entertaining to say the least. Emlyn was just about to take a swig of the wine when the question surfaced. He paused mid drink, allowing the wine to touch, but not pass through, his lips as he took a moment to process that. He would definitely need to restrain the use of the powder moving forward. Maybe every other day for the next week, instead of every other meal. But, before it grew awkward, Emlyn lowered his glass back to the table. "Well, Alice. What do you think?" Emlyn said, staying relaxed in his chair. "On one hand, I am leaving behind quite a lot of work. On the other, I am enjoying a dinner with a beautiful lady on peaceful airship ride." Another smirk played on his lips, one forged to more look as if he was teasing Alice more than anything. "There is no rush for such things... but I am not against constant relief."<br/><br/>Emlyn stood from the table, adjusting his clothes as he did so. "Perhaps you can prepare, while I go handle a little bit of business I have with the captain?" Emlyn asked. "And then you could show me if our worlds differ in other ways." With that, Emlyn made his way to the door. However, he paused just short of leaving, looking back to Alice. His voice would sound sincere, even if it was far from it. "If you do not want to, you do not have to force it upon yourself." And with that, Emlyn stepped outside, closing the door behind him. He took a moment to simply stand out there in the cool air, processing that back and forth for a moment, before making his way down to the kitchen. The chef knew about Emlyn's plan and was immediately replanning Alice's meals around the fact she wasn't going to have to hide the powder behind other flavors.<br/><br/>From there, Emlyn went to the captain, informing him that his bills would be covered for this trip, and that he may request a single modification for the ship once they were back in London. So long as the captain stayed the course and didn't go off chasing other vessels, then Emlyn had no reason to crack down on the man who ensured aerial transport dominance in the region. With all the business taken care of, Emlyn took his time returning to the room, preferring to go the long way before finally reaching their cabin. Without any sort of knock, Emlyn opened the door to peer within, walking in to see what Alice had decided.
