The rest of the evening proceeded harmoniously and without any incident. By the time the celebrations came to a close, Ves stepped outside the banquet hall and stood next to the immense feet of the Aurora Titan installed as a temporary display model.
Standing in such close proximity to his impressive mech left a strong and profound impression to the visitors who were about to depart.
Ves greeted and shook hands with each person who left.
"Thank you for the mug, Raella. I'll be sure to return the favor! Tell Melinda I love her and her present!"
"It's nice to get in touch with you again, Charlotte. Good luck with your career within the MTA!"
"I hope you enjoy your stay in the Bright Republic, James. Ylvainans like you are the future of the Protectorate."
After the long row of guests each received some well wishes from Ves, his grandfather finally received his own turn.
