The desk sergeant knew his stuff. He was part of a group chat that on Earth would have been considered a proto-forum dedicated to Lith's fan club. The Tablets still didn't allow users to post on the Web, but there was no limit to the number of participants in a chat.
'On top of that, the boy has golden hair and blue eyes. He looks nothing like Lith.' Valeron's emerald hair and silver eyes had been shapeshifted to avoid recognition.
Falas waited for a few seconds, but when Lith gave no further explanation, he gave the boy a salute and a wide smile.
"Sergeant Xarm Falas at your service, young Lord Verhen."
Valeron looked at the man in confusion and turned to Lith, who just smiled and nodded. Valeron beamed with joy, returning the salute with the wrong hand.
"Have a nice day, little fellas." The desk sergeant waved his hand, and the kids waved back.
