"Captain Ramalan, Xenovia, assembled guests." She greeted them in crisp response, "I am Verdant Orchid, Underwife of Umari, lord of this island and your humble host. I offer aid as we can, first medicinal as needed. All are invited to repose within while you captain, dine with his lordship and an assessment of what assistance we can provide is made or what customs should be appropriate. Have you medical need, personal or for crew or cargo?" She meant to delegate her intent and protocols efficiently, all business, and to be kept serious. Her words, though not scripted, were not to be derailed. Leadership, and followed, but a young commander if she was. More likely she held clout by relation, especially since no military title was offered.
