There was apparently a business opportunity for Sofia right here in Drum. Coincidentially, she had overheard a small discussion about a certain transport being needed, and Sofia was quick to pick on up that she could make a good service proposal there. After having arranged in a quick meeting at a tavern about the details of this transfer, it was finally time to seal the deal. The item to be transferred was quite valuable, so it wasn’t the sort of thing they could exchange out in the open lightly. So, instead, given that the two of the were related to the Marines (Sofia via her special bodyguard, Anna Blue) they had arranged to meet up at one of the Marine Stations that were here. After the big tussle that had been here, as mentioned in the News Coo, there were more World Government reinforcements around, something that Sofia could take advantage of.

And so, Sofia and Anna Blue were waiting inside of the Station, seated in the little lobby that was in front of the main desk, waiting for their contact to arrive with the special package and hand it over to them.

“Do you think they’ll come?” Anna asked, as she adjusted her Marine cap. “For all we know, this could have all been a huge ruse.”

“Nothing risked, nothing gained.” Sofia then softly mentioned. “We are a bit early anyways. We should worry once he is amply late for this little date.”

“That rhymed.” Anna chuckled.

“I know.” Sofia replied with an amused smile. “I didn’t mean to.”

All of his bags had been packed, and ready to be taken. Though not all of these items packed up were to be taken with him. Rather the majority will be given up. He had already made contact with various individuals, so that he will be able to get these items were they needed to be. Without actually going there in person. Presently he was held up in a a room on the second floor. He was alerted that one of the individuals he was having transport some unneeded items was downstairs. This was legal and legitimate deal. Shuffling through a few of the boxes and crates within the room with him he'd find a long one. It's length being close to his own height. He couldn't tell what he had written on the crate but knew this was the item due to the length. With only that in toe he'd make his way downstairs.

It only took a few glances around to spoke Anne. She was the Marine he had spoken with that knew of a way to get this item across the seas without trouble. With his free hand, as he carried the crate under his left arm, he would wave and call out to them. "Anne! I'm glad you both came. " With those words he made his way passed the main desk and over to them. "Is this going to be our transporter?" said Asher who was only mere feet away from the two women.

He had a couple more things to take care of so he wanted to get pleasantries out of the way and get this item where it needed to be. "I thought I had more, but this is it. A special item we call Durandal. I need it deliver to someone that goes by Calico Jack." said Asher as he would place the crate down at his feet. He would help them carry it if need be. But only to the door.

“Ho, no problem” Anna replied with a blush. He had mistaken her for an ‘Anne’, but she didn’t care. Being relied on for something this important was more than enough to compensate for that. It was finally her first big mission! At least, not something just make-uped to seem important, as often happened at the corrupt Sabaody, but something truthfully and legitimately important - the transport of Durandal.

“Yes, Sofia here is the transportist.” Anna then explained. “She’s going to help us out with this. C’mon, go help the man with the crate.”

Sofia winced slightly at the prospect of having to carry the crate herself, but she quickly resumed to taking her impeccable stance of poise and elegance.

“Of course. No problem.” she mentioned, to the carry the crate to the exit to then have Anna come over and help her with the other end when Kringle would leave it be at that point.

“Alright, we will be off then!” Anna mentioned back to the man. “We’ll make sure to deliver this to Calico Jack - count on it, sir! And remember, Anna Blue always follows through! Anna Blue! Don’t forget that name, OK?”

Sofia held a smile as she nudged the Marine loli forwards.

“We’ll be going then! Take care, Sir!” the noble then called out, to then start to walk down towards the nearby docks, where the Dawnbreaker, their ship, currently was, along the rest of Sofia’s men, who were preparing to depart immediatelty.

“Calico Jack, we’re coming for you!” Anna cheered as they continued down the hill towards the ship.
