"Huh," Albel said. It didn't really matter, he supposed. There had to be lots and lots of planets out there that didn't know about the Federation. The fact that he hadn't yet met another person from a planet he was familiar with wasn't surprising - he barely knew anything about the wider universe.
It was weird to be talking to Lavi like this. For two days they'd been companions, working together, yet he didn't know the most basic things about him, and vice versa. Yet all of a sudden, he had the ability to find out, when he hadn't before. They were already somewhat comfortable with each other, and yet they were still strangers.
"Well," he said after a moment. "I guess we never properly introduced ourselves." He glanced up at Lavi and smirked. "I'm Albel Nox, captain of the Black Brigade in the country of Airyglyph. Also known as Albel the Wicked."
