William shook his head repeatedly. Then, he pulled Hobbs's arm and walked to their side.
"This person is a magic chanter proficient in the Storm element. When he recovers from his injuries, you can get him to work on your ship. When the time comes, you can give him a nickname like 'Fast Wind.'

William made it clear he was leaving them to him before turning to Diana and saying, "As for the last one… Please arrange a better private bedroom for her and treat her as a VIP. Don't worry, she will go to Ava State with me in the future. She won't stay on this ship."
