Semter walked until he was directly in front of Lumi, and began to trace his face and pulled his hair back. To most people, it was a strange and invasive action. However, Lumi knew exactly why it was being done.
The Wings had plenty of infiltrators. Who was to say that this Lumi that suddenly appeared was the real one?
After checking Lumi physically, he took out a small crystal, and suddenly palmed it against Lumi's neck. Lumi didn't flinch even as pain struck.

"You have passed inspection." Semter stepped back, and bowed to Lumi. "We apologize for the highly invasive scan."
Lumi waved his hand understandingly. "There is no need to apologize over security protocol."
Semter lightly smiled at that. "Thank you for your understanding." He stood straight, and gestured at the palace in the distance. "Please follow me. The Empress has been expecting you. It is of utmost importance."
Lumi followed without question.
