In Which She Needs to Dress Up

"Do you have the nerve to disobey my orders any longer?" "Do you have the guts to defy me?"

Hennessy gave a shaking of the head and replied, "Never, Master," before hastily adding, "You're right, Master John. I'll send the invitation to you as soon as I can. Please save the date.

"Good," John said. "Bring her back here so that she may begin playing for the crew all over again," the captain said.

After offering his greetings to Master John and receiving his response, "Right on it, Master John," Hennessy exited the room. In spite of this, he was unable to shake the sense that the recent turn of events had left him perplexed and couldn't figure out what was going on.

So that we may bring everything full circle...

John's harsh response to Lisa was to address her as "Miss Lisa" and then reply, "Very well." On the other hand, if one were to listen carefully enough, they would be able to pick up on the pulsating anger that was surging through him at that very moment.

Nobody could tell if he was irritated because he despised being forced to move around in that wheelchair or because of the woman who was in front of him. Neither of these things were obvious.

Lisa broke into a big smile.

John muttered, "Welcome aboard," and then, with a faint hum, the wheelchair rolled to the right, and he went into what appeared to Lisa to be his residence as she caught a sight of it. Lisa was able to say this because she caught a glimpse of it. She echoed the greeting after him, "Welcome aboard."

The first thing that came to Lisa's mind when she saw that the floor of John's room was littered with smashed glass was that it appeared to be terribly unsanitary.

Lisa then switched her attention to Hennessy, who was positioned in the middle of the room at that point.

He greeted the new passenger, Miss Lisa, in the same monotone tone that he always used, and he said, "Welcome aboard." We will get you settled into a room as soon as possible. Your room will include detailed instructions that cover all you need to know, and they will be complete and comprehensive. Please have patience with us for the next few moments out here. You may count on me to get in touch with you as soon as it's ready,"

"Cool," Mona said.

Hennessy got to his feet and started walking away.

John, who was presently positioned in one of the room's nooks and looking through one of the windows, continued to be the center of Lisa's attention. John had just finished barking orders at a maid to clean up the mess in his room.

The maid visited John's room on a fairly regular basis, going in and out of it multiple times. A handful of the additional slaves were responsible for bringing some of the bottles and glasses inside.

She had the sense that John was staring at her, so instead of remaining where she was, she went to the ship's rails to take in the landscape. She also had the impression that John was staring at her.

The launch went off without a hitch and was a success. As she gazed into the void, which was brimming with beautiful hues, blinking stars, and whirling planets, she squinted her eyes.

Despite the expensive cost of space flight, Lisa was driven by a passion for exploring the world. She had a career as a musician that required her to move around to different locations for more than twenty-nine years.

"Mistress Lisa, your favorite mixture," Mona commented as she pointed to the left, where a shade of red and white were dancing, swirling, and blending together.

Lisa looked at it with a gleaming smile on her face and said to herself, "It's lovely," as she peered at it.

"Miss," another person's voice remarked to me from behind me as it came from the direction of the chamber.

Lisa was able to recognize a different member of the crew after turning around and looking back. On the bulk of the crew members, dragon horns can be seen protruding from their heads. She was aware that the size of the horn as well as the length of the horn were both markers of the age of the animal. However, Lisa was only familiar with a few of them, and even though their ages were unknown, a juvenile dragon shifter almost never had horns. This was one of the few things Lisa knew about them. In addition, the hue of their horn is supposed to be a representation of the character of the power that they possess.

This particular member of the squad had a brown horn, which suggested that he most likely possessed earth as an attribute.
