Ashur would've had to go for more than a bit of a 'small trip' to get to the Black Tower - it was well outside the walls of Isra, and on foot at a good clip, it would take at least an hour to reach even the wall surrounding the looming obelisk of night-dark stone. Regardless, the guards perched atop said wall leaned forward to peer down at the fellow. One seemed to touch some sort of item and begin engaging in conversation with someone out of sight, while another called down to the fellow.
"Lord Seryl is currently speaking with someone, please state your name and we'll be sure to let him know you're here. He'll get to you as soon as he's available."

Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

Infinitely charming. The term elicited a surprised expression, at first, and then Tristian grinned, laughing softly. Not a sound often heard from Tristian, or at least it hadn't been. Things were changing for him, it seemed.
"I'm sure I'll have many more reasons to smile in the future, and I'll be sure to make an effort to do so more often." He nodded appreciatively as Naoki confirmed that she would keep their secret for the time being, and then chuckled at the mention of wedding gifts. He almost couldn't believe that it was actually happen. There was going to be a wedding. With a reception. And gifts. Rather mind-boggling.
"I don't suppose so? I really haven't given much thought to wedding gifts. We've hardly agreed on anything more than, there will be a wedding, it will be after the summit." Tristian's laugh inspires a small smile from Naoki. It would indeed seem as if things are changing for him, and for the better, at that. Good to see, she muses. “Well, you should start thinking about it, or else you’ll be receiving silverware.” She offers a mockingly threatening glare before continuing, “That, and the event itself. There’s a lot one can do with weddings, a lot of things to consider. How big you would like it to be. What the venue will be, who to invite, what sort of theme you might like it to have, which colors to use for the garments, which set of customs you’d like to use, who to officiate it… the list goes on.” Offering a small shrug, Naoki continues, "You’ll have time to puzzle those things out with her at length, I suppose, but it never hurts to have an idea of what you would like to see going into things, at least in a general sense. At the very least, those are all quite pleasant things to consider,” she concludes. The unspoken continuation mentions how Tristian could really do with considering some happy thoughts of that sort, to perhaps work out the creases etched in his face from his ever-present scowl of the last few months. |

On rare occasions, mostly just important state functions (given he is the head of the Black Tower) he can be seen wearing a full set of blue and gold plate armor, emblazoned with his family crest of the gryphon head. A lot of the time, Tristian carries with him his family's heirloom sword, and he always wears a golden signet ring with the Seryl family crest - he also wears a signet ring with the crest of the Black Tower, which allows him to maintain telepathic contact with his operatives.

Tristian nodded slowly, thoughtfully, as he listened to all the things Naoki mentioned. It was true. There was much to be done involving a wedding that he simply hadn't considered.
"Yes, you make an excellent point. We've been so focused on the summit and making sure her proposal for altering the Black Tower's structure goes smoothly, we simply haven't had the time. I'll have to speak with her about it.. but depending on how soon after the summit she wishes to wed, there may not be time for us to plan anything extravagant. Perhaps I should hire someone to plan the whole thing for us." This last was murmured thoughtfully, and then his gaze - which had drifted off to one side while he pondered - flicked back to Naoki. A slight flicker of mischievous mirth flared to life within his earthy hues, and then a smirk tilted his lips.
"I don't suppose you'd be interested in taking on the task? The marriage of a former Queen and the leader of the Black Tower, planned by the High Lady herself... It would be the talk of the nation for years." He was clearly just joking. Which was perhaps miraculous in and of itself. Tristian didn't normally do.. jokes. Nyx was obviously having a good influence on him.

Nyx was obviously having a good influence on him. At Tristian’s suggestion, Naoki exhales sharply through her nose. “You know, I would, if I weren't just as busy as you are.” She allows a moment to pass in silence, contemplating the matter. After a moment, she pipes up again cheerfully, “Though, it would be my pleasure to officiate the ceremony personally, if you would like.” As the High Lady of Isra, Naoki holds Isra’s Matrimonial Seal, and carries the power to solemnize marriages legally in Isra, as well as to invest that power in wedding officiants of her choosing. |

"Precisely why the comment was made in jest." Tristian smiled, then went stock still at the next suggestion posed by Naoki. He looked at her closely, as though trying to discern whether or not she was being serious. Then his expression shifted into something softer; it was clear that her offer had touched him on a personal, emotional level, and he inclined his head deeply in gratitude.
"I'd be honored if you would do such a thing, Naoki. I'm sure Nyx will have no objections, either. Thank you. The offer means a great deal."

Waving a hand dismissively in an attempt to play it off, Naoki responds, “It’s no trouble, and I’m sure you would do the same, were the tables turned. Just make sure to schedule the event over top of an Assembly Meeting, so I have a good alibi to skip out on one of those meetings.”
At this, the conclusion of her own joke, Naoki's eyebrows tilt upward. Silently, she muses that she much prefers chatting with Happy Tristian as opposed to Angsty Tristian or Angry Tristian. It’s almost as if he’s a different man. Continuing her musings, she wonders if Ms. Nyx is the same way, and if she might require assistance in her wedding preparations.

The joke was heard loud and clear, and Tristian laughed quietly in response. Pushing himself up out of his seat, he crossed the space to Naoki and offered her his hand to shake - both as a sort of thanks, respect, and to seal the deal, as it were.
"You can count on it. And I do appreciate your discretion on this matter. I hate to ask you to leave, but it appears there's someone here seeking to speak to me about employment, so I should attend to that. Would you like me to escort you to the teleportation circle?"

Standing as Tristian does, Naoki accepts his handshake, gripping firmly but warmly- as she tends to, and maintaining eye contact for the duration of the shake. At his offer, she shakes her head, politely declining.
“I appreciate your offer, but there’s no need; it’s just down the hall. We’ll be in touch, but if you need anything from a nonprofessional perspective- like someone to cater your event, perhaps, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ve got contacts, remember.”
Clapping Tristian on the shoulder, Naoki nods once at him, offering a small smile as if to say, ‘Congratulations’. She only maintains it for just a moment though, before removing her hand and turning smartly on her heel, moving toward the door. Pulling it open with one hand, she uses the other to offer Tristian a wave over her shoulder. As she moves through the door and pulls it shut behind her, the last visible part of her is the tip of her tail before it disappears beyond the door frame.

"I will." Tristian nodded confirmation; should they require anything that they felt they wouldn't be able to manage by themselves as it pertained to wedding preparations, he would contact her. Naoki was out the door, and Tristian was hot on her heels, moving to the nearest lift and taking it down to the ground floor. He exited the Tower and approached the gate where he'd been told someone was waiting for him, gesturing to the guards to open the barrier. They did so, and he stopped while he waited for them to swing open; once they had, he peered at the fellow standing there, eyeing Ashur Steele thoughtfully.
"Greetings. I'm Lord Seryl, the leader of the Black Tower. I understand you've come seeking employment?"

After a long journey from the Southland, Kannon had finally arrived at the Black Tower. For a moment he marveled at the grand tower before approaching to introduce himself.
"Good day! I am a warrior of Aozora, sent by my Lord Prince Nishida to become an Ao representative for the Black Tower organization." Kannon beamed and waited to be received with a friendly look on his face. The Ao had a unique set of armor on him, a combination of leather and metal plates, around his neck he wore a muffler and on his forehead a yellow headband with a scorpion insignia on it. Weapons on his person were Kunai, a Tanto, a Sheng Biao, and coils wrapped around either gauntlet (these were his signature weapons: Dual Razor Whips).

The guards looked down at the Ao man, and listened to his statement. Then one of them called out.
"We welcome you, sir. Lord Seryl and Lady Mann are out, at the moment, but you're welcome to come onto the premises and take a look at our facilities." The gates creaked open, allowing Kannon into the Tower grounds.

"Ah, domo. I'll do just that." Kannon bows and enters the Black Tower to take a look around. If someone was giving a tour, he'd follow them, otherwise he'd just walk around and explore on his own. While having a look-see, Kannon was curious about what sort of people the Black Tower heads were, if they were righteous folk like he expected. He had been told The Black Tower was a neutral organization that helps other nations, and that really appealed to him. He did enjoy his time as an Ao soldier, but he believed he would have an even better time here, seeing even more of the world.

Kannon would be left alone for a time, until eventually a man in armor with several stars on his shoulders approached. He had a stern face with a scar over his left eye and cheek, grizzled and greying. Coming to a stop near Kannon, he inclined his head to the man in a brisk nod.
"Greetings, sir. I'm Commander Maxilius, leader of the military forces here, below Lord Seryl and Lady Mann. I apologize for their absence, they've got a lot on their plates at the time, but I've been authorized to answer any questions you may have and familiarize you with the facility as much as I can, until their return."

"Fine greetings, Commander Maxilius. I understand completely. I myself am many months late, as my lord required me for battle, but now we have a large enough standing army that Aozora could lend me to your organization." Maxilius is greeted with a respectful bow. "I'm honored to receive my senior's guidance. I have heard tales of intriguing magicks that the Black Tower has under its utility, including a way to travel great distances within a moment? I'm very curious about that, teleportation."

"Ahh, yes, the teleportation circles. One of our most excellent assets, to be sure. I'll be damned if I know how the things work, but I can at least give you a demonstration." He gestured for Kannon to accompany him and led the man to a large outbuilding, which men were pouring into and out of. The reason why would become evident when they moved in through a side door, and he could see the multiple teleportation circles all about, each one with its own specific rune panel. He led Kannon to one that was currently not in use, and gestured to the panel.
"Between a combination of precise runes and the adjustment of these crystals here," This was said as he pointed to several hollows with crystals in varying sizes and colors. "we can send any number of individuals and items - and creatures such as horses and the like - to veritably wherever we need them to be. It's easier to send them to another circle, but we can also do it to somewhere aside from one. Retrieving someone from a random location can be a bit tricky sometimes, however. And of course, if the place is warded against magic or scrying, they can't get through. Have to be able to see the location in some way to land there, and such."

"Hoohhh! That's incredible! It certainly looks complex, don't let me anywhere near that panel!" Kannon chuckles, "Wouldn't want to cause an accident when I just got here. So, you've got all these different circles going all over the place? I don't know much about magic, but that seems dangerous. Isn't such a magic unstable?"

Maxilius shrugged in response to the question.
"Lady Raiko is exceptionally talented with this sort of thing. We've not once had an accident. I don't understand the magic of it one whit, all I know is that it works, with no casualties, fatal or otherwise."

"That's comforting to know. Should get one of these in the south, it takes a long time to travel here. I'm concerned about one other thing though, couldn't this system be used to transport armies quickly to invade another nation that would usually take weeks of travel?"
After that his next question was about the magical runes on the tower. "When I arrived here I noticed strange symbols etched into the tower in a language I do not recognize, are these some sort of ward?"

"Aye, that it could - that's why we've got so many circles in this spot. The Tower is neutral, but we have to be ready to put boots on the ground in enemy territory if someone breaks the Accord, or if we have to defend one of the nations from the attack of another. But we can also use it to quickly dispatch supplies and other aid, such as healers, to those that need it. We're first and foremost an organization of support and assistance, not one of attack." His attention turned to the physical structure itself as Kannon asked about the runes, and he nodded once, firmly.
"Wards and an alert system, as well as conduits for the power to the Kami. You've heard of the Kami, aye?"
