Heir of the Mitsumine Clan

Ainori smiled politely. She was finding herself in a comfortable position; flattery from strangers was something she could deal with. "Oh my. About what, Ryugamine-dono? I have little to share regarding adventures in distant lands, though that may someday change. Or if you speak of Xin-dono's people, rest assured I hold nothing but the highest respect; I doubt anything said here could deter that."

Ainori's gaze shifted to the strange-eyed man, her smile twitched wider.

"Well, you stand ready to rise as one of the most important people in the whole land. Indeed, the Head of the Mitsumine Clan easily ranks among the ten greatest people alive at the moment. To get the chance to hear anything you have to say is both a great honor and a great opportunity. Anything you wish to speak off will be more than well received. Though if this is too broad, well, then worry not. You can talk of the same things you've spoken off with your other guests" says the Dragon Prince with a polite tone and an easy smile.

Xin for his part smiled brightly and simply said of her comments "My, my, that really sets me at ease. Respect for those living far away with totally different customs is a rarity I've found in my travels, even back home. Though really, respect no matter what one says is quite relaxing" he says in a lightly whimsical way.

Ainori bowed apologetically to the Dragon Prince. "I am afraid, Ryugamine-dono, that speaking of the same things here would bear little fruit; our alliance, though strong, does not face the same challenges as that of us and the other clans. We would discuss the taste of hakuho trying to compare it to hosui.

"I am, however, delighted to speak of what can be done to fortify our bonds. Have you any thoughts, Ryugamine-dono?"

Ainori then addressed her other guest. "Respect to different customs has become a consistent practice in my court, Xin-dono. Even today I have met with exotic guests like yourself, some of which seem almost otherworldly. I am happy to learn of other cultures, for they help me define my own."

"If you speak about us, Lady Ainori, I'd say this meeting is working quite well... perhaps to drink tea some time together or attend a feast. Then again, any time spent together is a good way to form bonds with nearly anyone" says the Dragon Prince with a bright, charming smile "Though if it is our families... well, we can always do business. We are procurers of this world, Lady of the Mitsumine... our ships sail to distant seas and bring back wonders"

"If there is anything on this world you desire... or your clan needs, for a just price, we'll bring it to your lands and ports"
