Courtiers, courtesans, servants, and other officials flit about this room, each one thinking his or her task is the most important one in the whole palace. A wide blue carpet leads the way down a hall way approximately thirty feet wide. A few steps proceed the rather simple chair at the end of the room. This chair is where the Daimyo will sit as he receives official dignitaries from the other provinces as well as the Emperor and/or Shogun themselves. That is usually the only reason he will be found in the room, otherwise he will either be on the walls, in his chambers, or down at the docks. The room itself is a red cherrywood with bamboo floors, elegant decorations line the walls, depicting daimyos and battles from the past, immortalized as a reminder to the current Daimyo of his family's long and prestigious history.

Physical Description: Sora is a youthful in appearance due to his delicate features. These delicate features appear to be erring on the side of feminine to many, which is something he is somewhat sensitive about.
He has long brown hair that he usually wears in a ponytail, to keep it out of his way while he is training or doing other tasks. When he is not doing anything as strenuous, however, he usually wears his hair down. When worn in this style it reaches his mid-back.
Sora has gray eyes, that turn to green or blue depending on the lighting.He seems to always carry himself with a sense of nobility, which was expected of him as a lord's son - nothing more than an old habit now.
Sora is 19 now, though he appears to be a few years younger. Despite this, he stands at 5'8''. He is slim, but stronger than one might expect.
Clothes and Equipment: Sora is usually wearing a light garb made of silk with provides comfort and flexibility for training, or meditating, or any task really. He also carries a daisho, consisting of a wakizashi and katana, two blades he earned when he became a samurai. His clothes have become worn from travel, however, since he has had little opportunity to wash them or change them otherwise.

The palace of the Daiymo was rather impressive, Sora thought, even if rather plain in his opinion. The place was quite lively as well, with various pages and servants flitting about constantly. Sora would pay no heed to these people, however, as he walked through he large building to wherever the guards led him.
Upon entering the throne room, Sora's eyes would immediately fall upon the rather plain looking chair across the room, expecting to see the Daiymo sitting upon it.

The Daimyo was about to be served lunch when the foreigner was brough in. Akagi dressed well, yet simply, clearly preferring function to form. A vague smell of the sea pervaded the room, and many of the officials running about were clearly mariners of some sort.
Akagi had been informed of his incoming "guest" and had a second place set for him at the small table he was seated at. The samurai and the guards knelt before the Daimyo after showing Sora to his proper seat.
"Dismissed and good work. Half day tomorrow for you, I will take it from here."
Akagi gestured for the newcomer to take the seat opposite him.
"I am Daimyo Akagi Zuikaku, ruler of Quying and its surroundings. What brings you to my illustrious city?"

Sora would find the Daiymo eating lunch when he entered the room it seemed. My, how time flies, he mused, he hadn't even eaten breakfast yet. Which reminded him that he was hungry.
Sora would walk over to the table along with the guards, offering a bow in respect to the Daiymo, and a brief pleasantry.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Daiymo-sama."
With that said he would sit down, albeit a bit apprehensively. Sora did not know what to make of this meeting now, he had assumed he had gotten himself into trouble of some sort and now he was having lunch with the Daiymo. He was practiced in the way of nobility, however, so these apprehensions did not outwardly show themselves very much. He also had a question to answer.
"To be truthful, I came here looking for an opportunity to start anew, my old home is gone, my family lost at sea in a storm," he said, somewhat solemnly, but otherwise his voice seemed to remain steady. He had two years to grieve for those lost already, ample time for him to learn to deal with it and control his emotions. He was his father's son, he needed to remain strong even if there was no one left to look up to him - emotions meant weakness.

"I am sorry to hear that. The sea can be a cruel mistress at times."
A servant came by and filled their two small cups with sake and then departed, bowing both before and after the service.
"If you seek a greater understanding of the sea in a more spiritual sense, there is a temple dedicated to the Sea in town. The priestess there is relatively new, and while I have yet to meet her, I understand she is wise beyond her years."
Akagi took a sip of Sake, withdrawing the cup quickly.
"Still hot. Anyway, I recommend speaking with them, they may help you find peace. But to the topic at hand. You wear the weapons of a samurai warrior, and while that is not illegal, the Shogun would like us to keep the number of ronin in our lands to a minimum, are you battle-tested?"

Sora would stare at him for a moment as he mentioned the temple dedicated to the sea. For a brief moment he wondered if the man was trying to insult him, but his outer facade wouldn't crack at the thought. Instead he would nod, mostly just a slight incline of his head before he responded,
"Perhaps going there will help me find peace, thank you for the suggestion," Sora said. He had resolved then that perhaps it was a genuine offer for help, and he would be willing to try it, though he had his doubts as to whether he would truly find peace in the temple.
"I am battle-tested as well, though I had only participated in real combat once. Previously, I had completed the training required of me to become a samurai in Katashima, however."
After finishing his sentence, Sora's attention would turn to the sake, which he would blow upon lightly before taking a sip of the hot liquid.

"I am always looking to recruit more samurai, and you seem like a decent one, if a bit inexperuenced and young, but bith if those will change. From what I understand, Katashima's training regine was not all that dissimilar to our's, so if you wish to stay in Tawakoshi, I would like to offer you a spot in my retinue."
This time he drained the cup, arbitrarily deciding that it was the right temperature. Right after that a servant came up and whispered something in his ear, to which he nodded his agreement and the servant left, gathering up a few more along the way to accomplish some task.
"I do not need an answer now, although I will accept it if given. I would ask that I receive an answer before you leave my city though."

The Daiymo's offer would be the first thing to crack the rather calm and collected front Sora put on, the indication of this being the ever so slight raising of the young samurai's eyebrows which indicated he was somewhat surprised by the offer, was caught quite off-guard by it.
"I will need time to think on that, though I will have an answer soon enough," he said. Sora took this offer very seriously, and he would need to consider it very seriously before giving an offer. If he were to pledge himself to serve the Daiymo it could very well be for the rest of his life after all, rushing to a decision was the last thing he wanted to do.
If he were to answer immediately, however, he would take the offer as it was perhaps the best he could get as a foreigner in these lands.
Sora would also finish his cup of sake, placing it carefully on the table.

"That is perfectly acceptable to me. Just come back to the palace when you are ready to give your answer."
His tone indicated that he was finished with the conversation. If Sora wished to ask anything further that was fine though. Another servant brought out two pieces of fish and two bowls of rice for the pair, and Akagi wasted no time digging into it.
"Please eat, I would be willing to bet you have not eaten yet today."

Sora would indeed dig in, eating as quickly as was possible while remaining polite, and not sloppy. The rest of the meeting woild go rather smoothly, though nothing more of consequence was discussed before Sora departed, the Daiyno's offer still on his mind.

Upon being told that the Daimyo's business was concluded and he was able to see her, Sayuri exited the quarters she'd been directed to and proceeded to the throne room, flanked by a pair of guards. One of them knocked upon the wall beside the door as the woman stood calmly, hands clasped before her, and waited to be permitted entrance. Once it was granted, she'd enter, trailed by the duo, and approach where Akagi sat, to bow respectfully to him. But it was not the bow of a subservient woman to her better - Sayuri may be female, but she was a Daimyo just like him. And she would not be cowed.
"Greetings, Zuikaku-san. Thank you for the hospitality of your city and home."

Akagi stood and returned her bow. Her position entitled her to his respect, regardless of his opinions on her gender. He knew a few women who knew their way around a trade deal, and they had his respect. He had not had many dealings with Kurosawa yet, but that was the point of the meeting was it not?
"Welcome to Quying Kurokawa-san. I apologize for not being able to meet with you previously. I trust you were well taken care of by my servants?"

"There is no need for apologies. I was a bit delayed in arriving at the palace, so I was not kept waiting for long. Your servants were most accommodating, and I am very appreciative." Sayuri approached his seat and settled in across from the other Daimyo, tucking her legs beneath her body and folding her arms in front of her body, hands tucked into her sleeves. Cool dark eyes watched the man across from her thoughtfully.
"I will admit, I was surprised at the invitation to visit your city. Most would have been content to handle any dealings via letter."

"I prefer to do such meetings in person. Its far quicker than sending messages back far and you get a better impression of what the person wants."
He treated his political relationships the same way he treated his business ones, with a lot of respect and careful planning. He hadn't particularly cared for Kurokawa's predecessor/husband, and the jury was still out on the new Daimyo.

There was the slightest flicker of movement at the corner of her lips, hinting at the threat of a smile that didn't quite form, but the unfinished expression migrated into her brown eyes nonetheless. He was very straightforward, and that was something Sayuri could appreciate.
"Then we are in agreement on that matter. My surprise stemmed mostly from the lack of acknowledgement I have received from the other Daimyo in reference to my recent.. change in status. A bias you do not seem to share. Most surprising, indeed, but a very pleasant surprise." She inclined her head to him in a deep nod of respect, and thanks, for the fact that he had thus far treated her exactly as she was: His equal. When she straightened, it was to fix that dark gaze on him once more.
"Shall we move straight to the business at hand, as it were?"

"Foreigners have some strange ideas. I am glad to say that gender equality is one that is slowly rising in this city, at least as far as treatment of the visitors go."
He gestured to a servant, who set up a pair of chairs, a small table, a pot of sake, and some paper, ink, and quill on it. Akagi took a seat, the level height a symbolic gesture that they were equal in these negotiations.
"Yes, let's get straight down to business."

Even seated in the chair provided, Sayuri was a bit shorter than him, but the equal height of the seating arrangements was something she greatly appreciated. Settling in comfortably, she reached to pour them each some of the sake and then take a cup for herself. This was done mostly out of habit, an act she often performed for her own guests as a sign of respect and gladness at their presence.
"It has come to my attention that my late husband was not particularly wise as it pertained to the trade agreements he made with you in the past. Most notably, he failed to take advantage of the great number of things your local environment provides in abundance, and which would benefit the people of Kiyonai greatly. That is the first thing I would like to rectify: A greater supply of your city's aquatic produce, both flora and fauna. Although I am uncertain what Kiyonai might be able to offer in return that would be of interest. We have several unique plants and spices gathered within the mountains and forests nearby that have a wide variety of purposes."
Her gaze flicked up to his face with a slightly questioning tilt of one brow. She was being cautious, wanting to see if there was anything in particular that he might be after.

"Not to speak ill of the deceased, but he was also tight-lipped about what Kiyonai had to offer in return. The spices I know of from my own merchants, but what else? Of course precious metals, stones, and currency are always reasonable to trade for, as they are accepted even over the seas."
He maintained an even, professional tone. This was business, even if it was accompanied by sake.

"As I said, we have some plants with valuable medicinal properties. Metal and stone we can, of course, provide. A new movement has recently begun where freshwater plants are farmed and harvested within the river, and the produce is quite popular within Kiyonai. Ah, and of course there is the honey from our bee farms out in the grasslands, as well as our more traditional produce. Fruits, vegetables, the like. Is any of that of interest to you?" She sipped at her sake again, awaiting his response.

Daimyo Akagi Zuikaku
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 181
Age: 29
Physical Description: Black hair matches a pair of green eyes and well-tanned skin. His hands bear numerous scars from rope burns and large splinters, as do his legs. He is well-muscled, looking more like a dock-worker than a daimyo, but he emphasizes the ability to do personally what he commands others to do. It is not uncommon that he smells of the sea, in fact he tends to bathe in it, using the power of the sea to cleanse his body.
Clothes and Equipment: He wears traditional samurai armor, which has been carefully constructed and enchanted to prevent damage by corrosion or rust in the salty environment he is often found in. His katana has received the same treatment, the handle wrapped in the skin of a monstrous shark, the blade forged from the toughest steel.

"To be honest I could find a use for all of it. My people are always open to the idea of new foods, and with renewed interest in our goods overseas I can see quite a lot of food being sent to the other nations."
Not to mention he could tax it coming in and out. Plus the availability of food might prompt the opening of a couple restauraunts based around Kiyonai cuisine. Even more reason for people to come visit.
