As her guests entered Hayate continued to play the last notes of the song she had been playing. The notes trilled through the air with a melodic grace before fading into nothing. She then lowered the reed flute and smiled at Jeremy and the princess. "It is my honor to have you aboard our vessel Captain Black. I apologize for not being able to meet you at the landing but as I'm sure Signum has already informed you there was some trouble with the warp coils after we arrived here and I had to see to that personally" she then bowed so that her hands were on the floor and her forhead lightly touched her hands "I again sincerely apologize for that" after apologizing she rose back into a sitting position. "Dinner should be brought to us shortly I hope you don't mind a few more minutes"
