Golbert scanned over the passport, but Hathon picked it up after getting an approving nod from Bil. He pumped veita into it, barely getting the hint of a glow from the seal on the back.
"A captain… Really? I would've sworn you were a commander?" Hathon shrugged, handing it back to Bil.
Bil stored the passport and shrugged as well. "I think I was on my way to a promotion, but then… well, this happened."
"Torbil… Do you remember your last name?" Hathon asked, showing a hint of sobriety.
"Not really… I've just been using the kids' last name, Miln."
Nodding, Hathon sighed, "Miln, huh? Not too common, not too rare… Like the empress?"
"I guess so…" Bil shrugged again, filling his mug.
"... Yo, Bil, you don't have an element?" Golbert asked with no subtlety.
Sighing, Bil shook his head. "Sadly, no… I'm not sure if it's cause of my injury, but I don't remember much from before that either…"
