Sergei helps him up, clasping his hand when he gets close enough. “I am assuming you are Alistair Tao.”
Tao’s hand is leathery and dry, devoid of any form of moisture. “You assume correctly, Sergei Starman. I’ve heard all about you and your exploits on the Silver Ghost, but I confess I had thought you long dead?”
Although his last sentence is a statement, he phrases it like a question — or perhaps an accusation.
Sergei chuckles for a moment, before eerily transitioning to a powerful stare. “No kraken’s stomach will keep me down.”
“A survivor! And at that age, too.” Tao winces. “Must have been excruciating. How long were you trapped?”
“Oh…somewhere in the midst of 30 years, I believe. You need water, sir. Limes, too. Come with me.” Sergei leads him to the doctor’s office.

Sergei starts bustling around his office, producing limes and rags and such. “Unless you are suffering from…magical conditions, you should be fine after some health care.”

He smiles thinly. “On the plus side, my reaction time has improved drastically, and I can smell blood from a mile away. Silver lining.”

Here, Alistair Tao smiles with genuine glee. “Botched assassination attempt. The killing succeeded, but it wasn’t my doing — I was only around to provide counsel and navigate. When the deed was done, I was trapped by a falling pillar and left for dead.”
Tao pauses. “I suppose we’re alike in that regard. In any case, the ambient necromantic energy fled our target’s body and entered mine, transforming me into this half-human monstrosity. I’ve been wandering across the seas for months now, trying to find this ship and tell you all the news.”
