(He is "The guard over there" XD)
"I never leaves the vaults unlocked, and I locked it yesterday when the Sargeant brought the cadavers in, acase someone tried to defile the bodies."

The Merman nods his head, and turns, opening the door, and walking inside, the corridor is dark, and in an advanced state of disrepair, there are two mermen in clothes that look very like they are made of some sort of fibrous weed, sweeping up masonry dust. The guard leads him up a flight of dusty stairs and to a door, knocking.
"Come in."
The guard opens the door inward, bowing so that his head almost touches the floor.
"Oh revered one there is one who wishes to speak with you."
"Ah yes, please, enter."
The guard stands up, and motions The Ambassador forward, the room he walks into is almost clean, and has been draped about with cloths of the same material that the Mer people downstairs were wearing, there are no furnishings except for a wooden throne, made from, it seems, driftwood, there are two guards , one standing either side of the throne, and upon the throne sits the Mer King.
Who appears to be female, for one thing, and does not look particularly regal. She is a young Mer, possibly twenty or thereabouts, and is clad in a white robe and small bronze crown which is little more than a ring of metal, her eyes are a deep blue, startlingly different to the yellow of the other Mer, and her mouth dainty, compared to the wide slits of the other Mermen, gaping at him. She smiles, and the effect is mesmerizing, almost hypnotic, he feels that it is the first genuine smile he has seen since coming to this planet, and he feels oddly weary, the smile and the large blue pools of the eyes like a flame at the end of a tunnel...
He shakes himself, the sensation was odd, and unpleasant, but appears to have gone, though what it was is unknown to him.

The man is still staring at Nurian with a worried look, but turns and closes the door promptly. There is no answer to his knocking however, Mrs Winderly appears to be out.
