<hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Viscount Leftenant Edward DuPierre</strong></span></span><br/><strong>Time:</strong>May 3025<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Siege Perilous: Kharnov Transport<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Kathryn Foss<br/><strong>Content:</strong>Arrival and Introduction<br/><hr/><br/>Edward looked at the minor wince that was on the Countess's face and wondered what he had spoken was wrong. It was when the Countess told him that he made a mental slap over the verbal blunder he had made. He then fell silent and he nodded when she gave him the warning, as well as a caution that was quite appreciated. After all, no one knew how the Shogun would react and if he had been stupid enough to call her that in public... he suspected his life expectancy was going to drop to zero in a rapid rate.<br/><br/>He then fell silent before saying. "I apologize, Countess... and I cannot thank you enough for giving me valuable advice. Perhaps it is the stress of what we all are going through that made me committ that verbal blunder of mine." He then looked at her and said. "If I may be so bold to ask, which world did you hail from within the Federation, my lady?" His words were polite, and also slightly apologetic and also held a hint of gratitude for her advice earlier.
