He might be welcomed back by Safrin, but the captain feels anything but victorious. Satisfied, exhausted, vaguely unhinged? All of those things, certainly, but while his magic is little more than a dull ringing like tinnitus after hearing something far too loud, he already gets the impression that he'd fallen shy of being able to bring a goddess to climax.

"Pleasure doin' business with you," he adds, indeed feeling the weight of the chain around his neck. "Make sure this new kid gives the void hell, yeah?"
