Emlyn smiled. He knew exactly what to say when she began to continue expressing her gratitude to him. "Well, if you truly feel that I'm being bound by law, I don't think I can change that. But, if you are that grateful, M- Alice, you could simply show me," he said, his tone perfectly crafted to be casual, hiding the actual meaning behind what he was saying. " 'Actions speak louder than words uttered by the common man.' is a saying here. I wouldn't know if there was a comparison in your world." With that, Emlyn continued to eat, casually going through his breakfast. He wasn't going to rush, but lounging around all morning wouldn't get the airship ready in time.<br/><br/>Finally done, Emlyn stood and went for his jacket, moving towards the stairs. "I have to make some calls to have files forwarded to the ship, and to have the crew prep for the trip, so it will take a little while. If you wish, you may use my bathroom instead of the guest bathroom to prepare," he said as he climbed. "Don't think we will be going anywhere until about lunch. Maybe earlier if the crew is already on the ship." With that, Emlyn disappeared into his study, beginning to place calls for the captain, for his associate to prepare for them, and to have all information for him forwarded. Once he had called the crew, he was taking his time with the calls, dragging it out for as long as possible so Alice would feel as is this choice was making Emlyn work overtime, or worse, slow his businesses to a crawl in order to take her wherever they were going. It would take them a couple of days, weather permitting, to get to his associate's tower, nestled in a pocket dimension on top of one of the Alps' summits, and then a day or two for the man to figure out what Alice is, and then another couple days to return. Emlyn needed to stress that without outright saying it. The more Alice felt she owed him, the more of a debt he could subtly slide on top of the girl.
