"Queen Lena V of Anowa, you honor me and my House with your presence here. I have been looking forwards to meet you ever since I heard your speech on your coronation. I'm Esia Perttula, and I will be your co-guest alongside Princess Adreanna. Please, make yourself at home."

She inmediately recognised Archbishop Helmut, with whom she'd talked before in a few occasions; never really deep conversations, mostly being superficial exchanges of pleasantries. She also saw the religious man's assistant and who she supposed was the Nauchtern military attache, Lady Smith. Strange, though, there was supposed to be one more guest, and the Nauchterns are usualy rather puntual people. She bowed respectfully and started signing, with her interpreter relaying her message as masterfuly as usual.
"Greetings, Archbishop Arkenström. Lady Smith, it's good to have you here. I am glad you could take some time from your very busy schedules to join us today. Hopefully the travel was not too hard on you. After all, this place is a bit more far off than the usual places we host our gatherings here, and I do apologise if you had any issue making your way here. Please come in, and if there's something I can do to make your stay more pleasant, don't hesitate to ask away.".

"Apparently not, sir. From the looks of the guests that are currently coming in, it seems that we're on time." Erhard greets the nobleman. Kotori just reels in at how he had butchered some of the pronunciations, while Ahekko and Shikota just stood there in amusement.
"As for the deer, I believe we had not encountered any deer on our way here." Erhard looks back at Kotori and asks her softly in native Esgonian.
"We...didn't encounter any deer, right?"
"No."
He then looks back and confirms. After a second of silence, he starts breaking the ice, "Oh yes, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Erhard Brunshelm, with my daughter Kotori, and Ahekosanka Akinojeka." Both also greet the Abulans with a friendly nod. Shikota then also introduces herself as the Esgonian foreign dignitary, and introduces her son as well.

Urran wrote:The older Urranese soon intercepted the Donnish delegate, bending slightly at the waist and inclining his head in a bow of respect to an equal. "Mr. Gleikehg I presume? Please accept my sincerest of apologies, I do not know your official title." He began in the common speech. His accent was evident, but refined and easily understandable. "I am Noriyuke Miyake, Urranese Secretary of State. I am pleased to make your acquaintance. Was your trip routine?" he asked. Perhaps the word routine had been an imprecise choice, a mark of someone who had not grown up speaking a language and was versed enough to hold an academic conversation, but needed a bit more polish when it came to precise word choice.

Union Of Autocratic Empires wrote:The surprise, however, was in the tables that had been set in the now snow-free covered part of the courtyard. Surrounded by no less than four members of the Valkyrian Guard, none other than Kaisar Karl himself, donning what looked like some antiquated dressing blues and being in the company of a fellow Abulan, a woman. Noticeably, both had the same kind of bright, rather penetrating blue eyes. As he looked up, he saw the Anowan monarch approaching and, with a gesture of his head, one of his bodyguards moved the chair opposite. "Hail, Lena V Isadorer Astarte Tepes Karnstein Grimsdottir Pyrrhas-Vogt af Grimring, Queen of Anowa." the Kaisar said, standing up and giving her a respectful nod. "It's nice to finally meet you. Would you join me for a drink? I don't think I've had the pleasure to have any kind of conversation with you yet, and I'd like to change that. If you don't mind, of course. I'm as much of a guest here as you are." the Kaisar said, his eyes and upper face being the only exposed part of his face. His face didn't play well with the cold. "Your compatriots are free to join us, should they desire."

The uniformed Man looked to his left and right, making sure that he wasn't being mistaken for anyone else, then turned to awkwardly return the bow that this Urranese character had introduced himself with shortly after. If this hadn't shown he wasn't a diplomat, he wasn't sure what would. Haryen kept steady eye contact with the man as he took a moment to consciously switch himself back to speaking Grey Sea Common. "The ride was routine, yes. Uhm, I was a Captain, retired, currently a Councilor, so take your pick of titles I suppose. Please, call me Hary, it's a pleasure to meet you... Secretary Miyake," Hary spoke awkwardly in an accent, nearly mispronouncing his new acquaintance's name. He was a little intimidated that the man knew his name but he didn't know Miyake's, saved only by them introducing themselves. They were in a whole other league than he was, only cementing upon his feeling of not belonging here. "Is there anything you wanted, or just chatting?" he asked, his eyes breaking contact to check around him briefly every once and a while.

Urran wrote:Nori's eyes seemed to measure the Donnish councilor for a few moments. He was calm and collected with a kind face, but there seemed to be hard steel behind that gaze. He was a veteran of a different sort of battlefield, the eternal dance of politics. Mentally, Nori shook his head, Hary was new to this, that much was clear. He also seemed to have a lot weighing on his shoulders and he was in over his head, or at least he was in his own head. The older Urranese would just have to be a life ring for him.
"Yes, but I wished to know which title you prefer." He began addressing Hary's concerns in order. He had caught the near mispronunciation of his name. "I understand that Urranese names can be difficult for foreigners to pronounce. You may call me Nori if it eases you." he said, inclining his head to the councilor. There was a pause. "I wanted nothing in particular." Nori said, "I want to speak with all of the guests eventually and you did not seem to be engaged." He explained." Unless I interrupted an errand?"

Hary nodded politely, but somewhat rushedly as if making it a point that he understood. His eyebrows furrowed, a slight annoyance at the man's need to assign him a title of some sort. In truth, Hary had no preference, he'd rather be called by his name and only his name or a nickname if possible, anything but the incessant chimes of "Sir", "Madam", "Miss", "Lord", and all the others that he had heard around him only a short time into staying here. They weren't in a battlefield, he had grown tired of hearing names and ranks being thrown around. This frustration, however, was never made physically present on Hary's face. As he was complaining in his head about all of this in the span of less than a second, he was still giving Nori the same pleasant if not un-emotional stare.
Hary's grievances were given life in reality with only four words, "just call me Hary", he said somewhat exasperated while trying to catch up on the conversation. "Please, just... call me Hary, Nori," he repeated, as if for emphasis, keeping a polite smile on his face. "You haven't interrupted anything, I assure you. If it wasn't already obvious, I'm not exactly one cut out for these affairs," he admitted self-consciously, knowing full well that someone maybe around thirty years his senior had already read him like a book. "And, to be honest with you Nori, I'm not exactly here to make friends either, no offense. Given my nationality, it's... really quite obvious I think."

Urran wrote:He and his wife moved to the side of the room. Different research groups had done a series of cultural experiments to see how different nationalities or people groups behaved in international or inter cultural settings. The Urranese tended to walk quickly, be the first to arrive for meetings, but seldom made the first move or cued up first for drinks at a party, lest they be seen as greedy or pushy. They tended to watch, sense the mood, and refrain from speaking if they found the situation left little room to please all parties involved. The Miyakes were no exception, however, they represented an exceptional economic and naval power, so cultural quirks had to be set aside in situations such as these. Still, being first in line for drinks was rude. Lady Kimiko was here, the younger woman could break the ice at the bar.
As they tried to get a feel for the atmosphere, Chikako spotted one of the Donnish delegation. He looked out of place, like a square peg in a round hole, a soldier in a sea of civilians. Her eyes scanned the rest of the room. Most of the other patrons seemed to be engaged.
Nori's gaze followed hers. His wife looked at him. "Rescue him." She whispered in their native tongue, moving away.
"Of course." He replied with a nod of his head. "Go make sure the Yamatians don't get up to anything that would embarrass the entire continent."
"I am already engaged in that mission." She answered, making her way elegantly in that direction, heals making a soft clack on the floor.
