Though Ves hesitated for a time, he eventually accepted the unknown noble's offer to walk up to his private box.

Ves, Nitaa, the unknown noble and his two bodyguards all moved up the stairs after a cursory inspection. The auction hall workers immediately let the disguised noble pass after they checked his pass.

Evidently, the fellow that invited Ves upstairs was an honored guest of the Circle of Mota.

Yet instead of approaching more familiar mech designers, the unknown nobleman instead attempted to solicit him for a private commission.
