The niece arrived from Imperial territory, escorted by soldiers.

She had long, thick black hair, and was almost paper white, sallow. She was a little bit shorter than average, and out of shape.

She looked at all them, and dipped her head to Nova.

" Lyena," she said. " I find myself indebted to you."

" Lift your head, girl," he said, already turning to leave. " We're putting you to work."

She looked up with some hesitation, perhaps confused.

" Oh, Nova's just like that," William stated brightly. " He was much the same when Prima joined us."

" A-ah," she said.

" You'll be working for me, by the way," William stated. " I trust that Kaama filled you in on the details?"

" Y-yes," she said, and extended a hand forward for a handshake. " Since we've yet to be formally acquainted- um, my name... my name is Noctis."

William seemed quite pleased.

" Welcome to my crew, Noctis."
