Curufin shows up at the spiral-topped building, climbs the stairs to the second floor, and enters the room with the comfortable furniture and the food and drinks. He sees the Ministry official immediately, of course.

"You're the Ministry representative?" he says, tipping his hat in a gesture of respect. Not that he necessarily has respect for the Ministry of Void Travel, but it can't hurt to be polite, and it might even help. "I have some questions for you, if you're willing to talk with me. I'm Voidtrecker Curufin of the Voidtrecker Express."
