After a short time passing, the sliding doors opened with Nikkolai and Borris both stepping through. "Ahh, seems everybody's awake now..." Borris said and Nikkolai looking over each one of them. Nikkolai then reached to a button and pressed it, a buzzer sounded and another door on the other side of the room opened and in came... very odd looking creatures. Their heads long and narrow, ending in a pinprick, eyes the size of tennis balls, much too large for their skulls. Three fingers each on two hands, and two webbed toes on each foot, and the skin a variety of brown and beige colors. a small compartment opened in each cage and a tray of... food? was slid into each cage. The food appeared to be sausages, a steak, some bread, cheese, and some sort of fruit on each tray that was slid in. The same thing handed to the two males. The one named Borris eating like one would expect someone in the military to eat: quick and without much regard for tasting or savoring the food. Whereas Nikkolai ate slower, more politely, like the royalty he had been addressed as.
As expected, Borris finished faster than Nikkolai, but still hung around until he finished. Nikkolai, now finished with his meal, now spoke. "We will be arriving at our destination shortly, I suggest you all prepare. The landing will be a bit... rough. Let us start with introductions... I am Nikkolai Voidsong. I was the prince of my kind, royalty, back home. This is Borris, he is assigned to me as a bodyguard of sorts." He looked at the ones in cages, expecting them all to introduce themselves next.
