[Private to Celes Lundenberg:

Kyouya isn't sure how well the function will work, but this is hardly sensitive information. Not thanks to the manner in which he arrived. A few merchant ships, a few fishermen, all paid. But he was back at Isla Empieza.]

Lundenberg-san,

I have arrived at Isla Empieza. I intend to spend a few days restocking the supplies I've gone through. [And getting a few nights' sleep in a real bed.] I will wait for you here or make plans to join you in another fashion.

Alright, good. We should be arriving at Isla Empieza in a few days time. It would have been longer, but unfortunately we ran into a bit of difficulty back at one of the islands.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Are there any supplies you'd like me to collect? That way they can be ready on your arrival.

[Already trying to highlight usefulness.

...Mostly in an attempt to help gloss over having left his last crew.]

You aren't the only one.

[Damn map didn't tell them which island they were on until it was too late, thanks to the storm blowing them off course. Otherwise she never would have set foot in Yuezhong.]

Anyway, collecting supplies isn't necessary. I do that on my own, as I'm very particular about what goes on my ship. Feel free to stock up on whatever you wish to bring, however.

I'll be sure to learn your tastes, then, once we are sailing together.

[Because even if he won't have the position of first mate right away on this crew, he'll still aim for it. Knowing what a president wants, what they need, and how to merge the two is, after all, the key to being a perfect vice-president.]

Will you now? I suppose I can grant you the honor of accompanying me to the markets once I arrive. That should make this goal of yours a bit easier, as you'll be seeing my tastes firsthand.
