Outside the airship wreckage, Mr. Pierre stumbled along, carrying Rorschach's rolling suitcase and his own briefcase as he climbed toward the two. Rorschach and Bart were halfway up a small hill, leaving the man from Nixingen completely exhausted from the effort.
Fortunately, he had successfully protected the luggage, just as Rorschach had instructed.
"This is Mr. Pierre, a representative from Hercules. And this is Mage Bart, the scion of the Balderom Chamber of Commerce."
"No, Rorschach. 'The Town Mage of Wertzburg, a graduate of the Empire Magic Academy'—that's how you should introduce me." Bart shook hands with Mr. Pierre and told them he'd arranged for them to rest at the Chamber's hotel in the capital.
Then, Rorschach and Mr. Pierre were taken away for questioning.
