1. An inner string, comprising:
an inner tubular configured to extend at least partially within a seal surface of an outer tubular, the inner tubular including a sidewall having a thickness (t1);
an orientation port extending entirely through the sidewall to provide fluid access from an interior of the inner tubular to an exterior of the inner tubular, the orientation port configured to align with two radial orientation slots in the outer tubular that it is configured to engage with to provide two pressure readings indicative of a relative location of the inner tubular to the outer tubular; and
a completion window coupled to the inner tubular, the completion window including a window opening configured to align with a lateral wellbore opening.
