"On my mind? Oh, gracious no. Unless you'd like to hear the long list of reasons why Shikeishuu and my nation will never get along, or the silliness of swords in this day and age, or various other bickerings I have collected over the years...no, not at the moment Miss Guw. I just hope you enjoy your meal."
----------------------------
The doors opened, and several armed guards walked in, followed by a short, squat human that the Tinisians would recognize as Governor Eric Dunsel. He was wearing a different suit this time, red and new, and his toupee was actually staying on his head...for the moment.
"Welcome welcome! I hope everything is going well? Mr. Candor said one of you wished to speak with me?"

Lady Drancan looked confused her ears lopsided, xine was looking equally confused. This was about the third of forth time they had seen a human and they were weird looking things, being bald and all...well that and they smelt weird the fact many of them wore things to change there sent using products from a deer's...well. Both could tell he was wearing fake hair, it smelt different.
Xine whispered "Who is Mr. Candor?"
Lady Drancan shrugged.
Xine whispered "Why does he have a fake dead animal on his head?"
Lady Dranca "Replied must be a custom or some thing, best don't mention it." replied quietly.
Lady Dranca stood up she smiled "I am Lady Dranca and this is my second Xine, we are not aware of who Mr Candor is, but it is a pleasure to meet you." bowing slightly.

"Why, the Arbitor, the fox that brought you here of course! He must not have told you his name, in all of the excitement."
Dear gods that fox was insufferable. How dare he not introduce himself?
"Well, how has your stay in Aatuylva been so far?"
OOC: As a note, pic, Aatuylvans don't have 'deer' in their country. Their colognes and perfumes are made from jungle fruits and flowers.

Lady Drancan smiled "Xine found some interesting things about her people. It looks fairly clear they lived here for a while, this might be where her people are from in fact. If possible would you mind if we called in some of their theologians and historians to check out a few sites. In time, of course.
As for the forgetting of names, these things happen, no offence taken"
--- OOC: noted, just the most perfumes and aftershaves are made based on deer musk...you don't want to know where that stuff comes from.

"Of course! It would take some arranging with the other religious orders, however...you should take care to remember names here, if you are going to be resident ambassadors. Not knowing a name is a good way to draw someone's ire, or worse, their rifle sights."
Dunsel sat down at an empty chair, looking at the food like he was afraid some of it would jump at him.
"Speaking of names, I am Governor Eric Dunsel, one of the three most important people in this nation, I guess...head of Government and State, at your service."

Lady Drancan smiled and bowed slightly "Greetings Governor
I am just an emissary at current, I may become the ambassador, but that is not my call. The foreign office is in charge of that but there is a good chance I will be if this trip doesn't turn into a total charily foxtrot."
Lady Drancan laughed "As for remembering names I have Xine for that, the leefen are good at it, they have a stupid number of goddess's"
Xine looked offended and started counting on her fingers then muttered "78 is not that stupid a number."
Xine looked about the room for support.

"Ohoho, 78? Really? What, do you have one for every tree? We find ourselves quite happy with six. Eight if you count he old ones. Although some of the tribals are animists...at any rate, I do hope that an embassy is set up here, it would help to control the reactions the military keeps going for naturally..."

Xine showed teeth, insulting religion was something that anyone should know would cause a reaction. Other members of the commonwealth did it all the time, but knew where the line was, but they knew it was friendly banter. An outsider doing it and openly insulting them...well that was different.
Lady Drancan said flatly "I believe you owe Xine an apology, you have over stepped the mark."
As much as Xine and Lady Drancan insulted each other they knew where the line was and someone had just stepped over it.

The governor, genuinely confused, looked at the two of them.
"And what mark is that, if I could ask? If I have offended, I am sorry, but I would very much like to know what exactly it was that I did to offend."

Lady Drancan said "I think she will accept your apology as you don't know her people's history. They are a people that's only tie to there origin is there religion and as much as I will insult her and her me. I know where to stop.
You just laughed at her religion, that is well over the mark."
Xine piped up "It is very difficult to insult us and for diplomatic purposes it is accepted but I would council against you ever making such an action in the presence of leefen civilians. If you were lucky you would wake up in ITU.
You might think we can not be offended, but we can and hide it.
You openly mocked my beliefs did you think that would not cause me to react?"

"Excuse me if I mistook your banter earlier, when the Lady poked fun at your 78 goddesses. I thought it was customary for you outsiders to laugh at jokes. I guess I was wrong. As for making threats, I shall forgive you that, as I would not want the three men here armed with grenade launchers and machine guns to ruin anyone's dinner. Now, let us chalk this up to a mere cultural misunderstanding and get down to business, yes?"

Lady Drancan smiled "It was not a threat, it was a statement of fact. If you or I, well anyone made that joke in a bar on inleef. Well we would be lucky to wined up in intensive care. Every nation has things you really shouldn't poke at, you hit the area you shouldn't with the leefen. But lets leave that and put it down to a cultural misunderstanding, these things happen."
She clapped her hands "Right to business embassies what do you have on that front? or do I have to go house hunting? If I do get the job where are the good areas and if I don't where are the crappiest?"
She laughed it was not like she would put the embassy in a slum, well unless she really hated the diplomat in charge.

"Oh goodness no! We have rooms in the Imperial Palace that are being set aside right now...although the military was just fine with sticking you in one of the outer areas."

Lady Drancan smiled "Well the hassle xine's been causing me...as these stabby or shooting areas?"
Lady Drancan looked at xine and asked "Fancy a promotion?"
Xine's response, thankfully, was untranslatable but involved kitchen furniture, kitchen appliances, bodily orifices and a teddy bare.

By the gods do these people ever make sense for longer than five minutes?
"Now...what was this business proposal that you wanted me to hear that Ulrik dragged me down here for?"
