He looks at the key for a moment, and nods. "Thank you, sir. I shall put it to good use."
Silence for a few breaths, then returning his gaze to the former Governor: "I hope I shall see you again before you both depart; perhaps I shall be well enough to drop by. If not, I wish good health and kind fortune to yourself and to Rosamaria. And please do keep in touch. I shall look forward to hearing your tales of peace and prosperity." A smile to echo Helstone's own, and fingertips raised to his brow in brief salute.
"Farewell, sir. Mind how you go."
