Mor'os i Tab on Mal

[The Empire]

As the thought passed, Hanna silently slid up beside her fiancé. She smelled faintly of lotus perfume and wore a long red dress of matted silk, a thin golden belt and her long black hair tied up into a pony tail with a gold ribbon.

"I hope you didn't have to wait too long my love, I got a bit side tracked on my way here."

[Union]

"Thank you," Ria said to the driver as he exits the limo. Outside, the beauty of the Mo'ron palace garden reveal itself. Ria was impress by its design and elegance, something different from the glass and concrete of Anyia's office district.

[Mor'os]

"Ah, Hanna-cham," said Osmar, smiling now that she was here. "You are here. An'd," he added slightly sheepishly, "you look wonderful. An'd jus't in time." Indeed, the sound of the approach of the first expected limousine was already audible, and growing rapidly in strength. "You remember what I taught you?" Hanna nodded. "Man man." Osmar finally concluded as he straightened up and turned to face where the first vehicle had pulled up and Ria had just stepped out.

"Welcome," said Osmar in a fashion similar to Sabmon as he himself bowed, except with his left hand clasping the right. The rest meanwhile mimicked Sabmon's bow with the exception of Hanna, who instead bowed with her hands placed on either leg as Osmar had instructed her to do. Her lack of familiarity with this form of greeting showed slightly. "I am Osmar Anson Dalēn. This is Lelpak Sillen Chasmor, Prime Minister, this is Delmar Rav'ong Shausil, Imperial Inspector, and this is Dongtang Kauū Senguch, Imperial Censor. An'd zis," he said with finality and a loving smile, "Is Hanna, my fiance. P'lease, what is ze name of our fir's't gues't?"

[Union]

Ria shakes hands with each of the Mo'ron dignitaries. "Pleasure to meet you all. I'm Ria Reng of the Wen house. The Chancellor is my second cousin."

[Mor'os]

"A relative of the Chancellor? Well, p'lease zen sen'd him my bes't wishes when you retur'n. Hopefully, we will not have to keep you waiting here for too long. Wiz any hope ze ozer's will be here shor't'ly. You did not happen to see any of zem yoursel'f at ze airpor't or on ze way here did you?"

[Khem]

a limo pulled up and from inside was a vopice was heard before the face was seen.

"QUIT BOWING YOU JACKASS! thats it let me out of here! wait until i get ahold of that brother of mine!"

out of the limosine stepped Richard Black with his usual unshaven face in stark contrast to the suit he was in. he walked up the the delegation and headed straight to Osmar.

"i'm supposed to tell you a bunch of nice things and give you this gift."

Richard hands over a basket containing various coffee, coacoa and tea products from uichi ryu.

"so your making lifes last great mistake eh? hows it feel?"

[The Empire]

Hanna's smile faded a bit, to something that was evidently glued-on and out of habit. The Taijituan who stood before them the probable cause of her discontentment. Still, she clenched her teeth to keep her tounge from slipping, she would not give this insolent prick the pleasure of causing an international incident. Out of habit and trained reflexes, her hand unconciously moved to where her chainsword used to be but the familiar comfort of it's perfectly molded grip was not there. She had placed it with some, probably ancient, and finely crafted Mor'osi swords on a stand in her chambers.

[Saletsia]

Chancellor Ariel Levana got an urgent phone call calling him to come back to Saletsia. He went to the Mor'osis: "I am very sorry that I have to return now but Saletsia is currently having some political troubles. I thank you for your hospitality and wish you and yours the best. Here is our present," giving a Din-A3 size map of Saletsia made of ivory in which Mor'os was made of a rather big emerald.
"I hope you like it."
After that Ariel said goodbye to all other representatives except the Ozian delegate he was happy not to see.
He then got driven to the airport from which his private plane took off heading for Bandana.

[Mor'os]

"Ah..." said Osmar, who unlike Hanna found himself more stunned than angry at the Uichi Ryuan representative, as he in a daze took the basket from Black's hands. "Sank you for ze gif't..." he continued, lost in a foggy daze. "Welcome to Mor'os..." Without looking away he handed the basket over to the Imperial Censor who likewise did not look away as he gripped it.

"Zough," Osmar finally said as he began to reassert his scattered senses and wits, "I would not call marriage a mistake. Ze continuation of one's family name and line is one of ze fir's't mos't duties of any person." He stopped as the Levana spoke now. Osmar frowned at what he heard.

"T'ruly? But we have only jus't met. S'till, if you mus't go I cannot detain you." Osmar bowed once again, but this time as a goodbye rather than a greeting. Like clockwork the rest of the delegation followed his example. "Safe journey."

[Khem]

"i'm just messin with ya! anyhow that chick is pretty hot for being so pale. anyhow best of luck to ya! hope your wedding nights a great one! just remember your not done until she starts bleedin!"

richard started to wander off laughing. last time i had this much fun is when i hecckled that MC at the titty bar. Richard had his assistants set up his rom while he took a nap.

[Union]

"Shall we get move along now? It won't seem fit to spend the rest of the wedding in the reception area would it? Haha." Ria utters out.

[The Empire]

Hanna's eyes shifted from a look of pure, unconcealed, hate on Richard's back to one of cold dissapointment and hurt at Osmar while the latter notices something new and vaguely disturbing about his choosen one as he hears her accusing thoughts as if her voice spoke directly inside his mind. Her lips unmoving and nobody else noticing but her eyes punctuating every single syllable.

If you don't handle these insolent excuses for guests without delay I will handle it myself and I don't think that's the kind of international reputation either of us wants for Mor'os.

Lieutenant Tanya, Hanna's only remaining bodyguard, stepped out from behind the curtains, fully suited in her armour to do her misstress's bidding, taking up position just behind her protegé, the servos of the armour's actuators humming softly and vapour rising from it's exhausts. The insect-like eyepieces on the visor gleamed threateningly red in the early evening sun as Tanya surveyed the people on and below the stairs, switching between vision modes to search for hidden heat sources along the roof tops of the city and along the closest street corners, all just in case. At her left side hung one of the chainswords left behind by the others and at her right hung an assault rifle in a short sling draped beneath her right shoulder pad.

This was the first time anyone present saw a power armour besides the few Mor'osi who had been there when Hanna and her exiles arrived in the city.

[Mor'os]

This time when Richard spoke there was no initial shock for Osmar. The first time he had done so had already done away with that, not to mention that this particular comment had now involved direct mention of Hanna. Instead he felt a terrible and powerful mixture of disgust and anger and he was not afraid to let his face show it. But like Hanna he held his tongue and let Black leave. The sooner he was away from him the better, and Osmar had no intent of holding him with any form of discussion.

"Vī ha kosh dī ret za... swore Osmar under his breath. Then, audibly, he spoke again. "Chasmor-sam."

"So?" replied the Prime Minister promptly.

"Kar ha ūme dē lin dī lo. Es dī sī ven... Osmar paused to allow his face one final angry tick before finishing. "Gai i. Ras us."

The Prime Minister nodded with an expression that indicated he agreed fully with whatever it was that the young emperor had just said and without saying anything walked off. As if nothing had happened, Osmar turned his attentions to Ria.

"Yes, we probably should begin. I was hoping zat zere would be more, we certainly got more replies. But I suppose zis jus't mean's more attention for your needs. P'lease, zis way." he said as he began to walk. "Min'd you today is not the wedding. Zat begin's tomorrow, zough zere is p'rivate p'reparation on my par't and Hanna's tonight. Until zen we will s'tar't wis a tour unless zere is somesing else you would like to see in particular. For zis evening I have a performan'ce p'lanned."

[Union]

Ria noted the big man in his strange outfit. Nice costume....wonder if the wedding party requires one?

"A tour will be great, I'm looking forward to exploring your country. So much interesting things and differences from my home." Ria replies.

[Mor'os]

"Yes," said Osmar with a smile and a nod as he continued to walk, his mood returning to positive now that Black had left their company, "I can only imagine what it is like where you have come f'rom. I have never been outside of zis nation. I hope to one day. But," he said as he caught himself on the precipice of a dangerous tangent that might lead his mind like an ill willed willow the wisp to a murky demise "back to what I showing you here. It would not be good of me to get your curiosity and zen not do anysing for it.

"Zis com'p'lex as you may have already seen is quite large. It does not jus't house the palace where I mysel'f live and wor'k f'rom. All of ze organ's of ze Imperial governmen't are here. If you look to your lef't in fac't," he said as he motioned in the said direction "You will see several buildings which house ze Minis't'ries. Ze Minis'ter's are appoin'ted by mysel'f an'd ze P'rime Minister. We do not have time to visit all of zem. They are boring anyway.In's'tead we will be going ahead to ze Assembly of Petitioners to take a closer look at zat.

"Also," continued Osmar as he plucked a random bit of trivia to keep the conversation moving as they walked on. "Zis is not in fac't any of ze original palace zat was once here. Zat building was bur'ned to ze g'roun'd by ze Nobles in a las't bid for power before zey were undone."
