Roland came by at that point, a somber expression on his face. Instead of his usual traveling leathers, he was dressed formally in his tailored suit of charcoal Jaedaxian wool. He had the pale skin and brown hair of a Kemite, and even as he spoke he had an air of slight distraction to him, as if important matters were pressing on him; not an odd vibration for one in Prime Province. "Ah, greetings, Jaki. I hope all is well with you. I can't stay long, but it would be rude to have walked by and not at least said hello for a moment." He looked over at Epicurus, but did not recognize him. He glanced at both, however, and noticed the similarity of their features and the common grey of their eyes, features that he remembered well from his former employee Louis, the one nick-named Lucifer for his devilish antics.
He offered his hand to the man. "Serale, I am Roland Moonstar, Lord Protector of Tearsfall, and Marshall of the Legion of Justice. Jaki is the second Vampyler that I have had the good fortune to meet: a pattern or so back, Louis helped me when I needed help in Vortex. I haven't seen him in a season or two; if either of you run into him, please give him my regards and mentioned that I asked about him."
He smiled at the two of them. "Of all the recent Deputies that have joined the Legion this season, Jaki is by far the most dedicated. She burns with a desire for justice, and she also has a kind and generous heart."
