*Elessar strides towards the door with a scroll held in his left hand and brushing his uniform in the other. As he approaches the guards he pulls out a small knife and hands it to them and then proceeds to remove his hat and clutches under the right arm as in stately fashion. With one last check and straightening of his uniform Elessar enters. As he gains audience of the King, Elessar bows and begins*
"My King, I come to you today in order of the Beard. I, its captain have a few queries I wish to address some concerns about both its crew and itself. If you would allow me."
*Elessar rests his naval hat on a small table and then proceeds to untie the small lace around the scroll. After removing it, Elessar opens up the scroll and begins to read.*
"We require a set of new beds and hammocks for the bunks of the crew. After inspection we found that the previous ones were infested with bugs. Without these there is no room for her crew or passengers. The Beard also needs a set of new storage chests for the hold as the last ones seem to have been removed before I took charge. The last idea we need is to do with the fact that the Beard itself has been sat idle in port for a considerable time. The water and the weather have taken a toll on its beautiful coat of paint. I have some ideas to have the colours changed to a dark Royal blue colour to revitalize its appearance and to show the might that one can exert. That is all for now."
*Elessar rills up the piece of parchment and reties the lace to keep it in shape. He then takes his hat and clutches it under his arm and then awaits for the King's reply*
