As they stepped inside, a tall woman with slender shoulders and cascading auburn hair was the only other person they could spot, sitting behind a counter at the very back of the grand hall they'd entered into.
She didn't even look up to acknowledge them as they'd entered, and spoke rather bluntly.
"We're not open to the public right now. Come back tomorrow if you have any business with the city hall," she said in a hoarse, blunt voice, without the slightest trace of courtesy.
Rohan and Elane frowned, but they continued moving towards her desk regardless. They hadn't known that it was currently a Sunday, so public offices were closed both inside and outside the Origin Realm.
But they weren't there as normal citizens of the Federation right now, as Elane had already made very clear to Rohan.
"Are you deaf or something? I said we're closed."
