*Per arrived just adter Riko, still ion the short black dress form dinner. She left her heels in the car, set the lizard on her shoulder and moved towards the water*
Riko Nakamura (Oct 17, 2010 11:03:26 PM)
*Riko had ridden her crotch rocket bike and it was parked in the lot, the young girl waiting out by the standing of trees. Bowing again deeply at the waist to Perry* Your Emience.
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:05:58 PM)
Perri would recognize the path that they took through the swamps. It led them across thin stretches of dry land that kept their boots from the water but kept them ever at it's side. The entire trek to the location of the clandestined meeting Perri would find golden eyes in the water, looking on respectfully, an honor to accept her arrival. The path itself would lead to a small lake which looked much as it did the first time she arrived. A large broken oak sat in it's very center, seemed held in place by several large boulders that crested the lake's surface around it's trunk. Some things had changed, however, several more large boulders had been piled along the back side of the lake, almost as if it were slowly being walled in for some unfathomable purpose. Shin himself was once again to be found lounged across the wed wood of the oak, his tail dangling down into the water off to one side. His arms were crossed, the weight of his upper body leaning on his elbows at the top of the tree. His golden eyes gleamed
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:06:06 PM)
softly as he stared down at her, his skin a neutral gray, his expression cold and emotionless. "Welcome to my home, Lord Tyrant. You honor us with your presence and you honor me with the prompt response to my request."
Perri Santana (Oct 17, 2010 11:08:38 PM)
Zaebos. I thank you, and welcome the invitation. What may I do for you?
Riko Nakamura (Oct 17, 2010 11:08:40 PM)
*slipping around him once more after leading Perri to the same area, she stepped back and seemed to quietly fade in to the scenery. Though she still seemed very contained, there was something in her barring that was much more at ease here. odd sense she didnt look like this was a place she really belonged. Finding a large rock to settle on she got comfortable*
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:11:56 PM)
A large crocodile rose up from the surface of the lake, crawling across the bank to lay in front of Riko, between the thrall and the Tyrant. It appeared than even as amiable as he seemed to be, he was not without his unsubtle gestures of prominence within his own territory. When he spoke, however, none of that came with his tone. With the flat and even tone that he used, one might confuse him for a malefactor, at least...until you saw him. "I have given you my image to make your proclamaition and you wear my fangs in your sheath to ensure it. You meet now with the fallen of the city to raise your court. It is time we speak of my own relationship to your seats and your council."
Perri Santana (Oct 17, 2010 11:14:02 PM)
Indeed. And while I heard your words regarding the Court initially, I would hear what you have to say now
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:17:03 PM)
He shifted slightly, his eyes narrowing pensively as he stared down at her. A flicker of back trim washed across his scales, outlining his eyes and lips. "I do not seek to alter our agreement, my word is my honor, perhaps you misunderstand. I offered you these things so that you can keep those of the other houses out of my territory, so that their chaos did not spill into the wilds where they do not belong."

Perri Santana (Oct 17, 2010 11:18:34 PM)
We did. And that will be made known to each of them , I gave my word.
Aswan Kaguro (Oct 17, 2010 11:20:36 PM)
[Can we say I was texted, or something?]
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:22:08 PM)
He nodded, seeming somewhat relieved that she did not expect him of dishonorable conduct. The blade trim faded away, leaving his skin and scales the same neutral gray as when she had first seen him. While he truly didn't care what the other fallen thought, he did care about his personal honor. "I served the court of Abaddon in my service of the Ebon Legion as a Fell Knight to his cause. I understand the need for order amongst the other houses, for tradition and hierarchy. For them to understand this edict, there must be more to it than a simple statement to be made and then forgotten."

Riko Nakamura (Oct 17, 2010 11:26:15 PM)
*She shifted a little on the rock looking up she watched the two, drawing a knee up to her chest she wrapped her arms around it, resting her chin on it as she let the small snake slither down on to the rock next to her*
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:26:46 PM)
He shook his head slightly, the curtains of snow white hair falling down from his ears to frame his face. A face perhaps a slight too delicate on that monsterous body with the typical aggression gone from his eyes. Replaced now was the calculating intelligence. "My territory is outside of your court, by terms of our agreement. But for your law to hold sway, your law much touch my territory. Do you see where the uncertainty falls?"
Perri Santana (Oct 17, 2010 11:27:38 PM)
Yes, what if there is trouble on the line? What then?
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:29:21 PM)
He writhed across the tree, his sinuos body repositioning itself along it's trunk, draping across a few of the large bolders. "What would you propose?"
Perri Santana (Oct 17, 2010 11:31:24 PM)
In that case, I think it would need our collaboration. And depending on teh nature of the problem, we can decide then what to do. Is it a political issue? Or one that impacts your territory? each would have very different consequences, and need our different areas of expertise to deal with.
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:34:08 PM)
He grunted quietly and shook his head, as if there was something he disagreed with. He did not respond immediately however, his gaze turning from Perri to look apon Riko, a strange gesture from Zaebos, a being who seemed to do anything without intent. After a moment he returned his attention to Perri, "You speak as if from one Tyrant to another. I hold no court here, I seek no sycophants to clammer for favor. We must difine this relationship between us, your Eminence, or the others will not accept it."
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:35:36 PM)
( rarely do anything without intent* rather )
Riko Nakamura (Oct 17, 2010 11:36:37 PM)
*her wide dark eyes hold his for a moment, and she gives him a small smile, just that, and thats all, but given the two who where there, was a nearly improbable thing. Looking down to the gator that all but stood guard she listened, respectful and quiet, but not what one would call meak*
Perri Santana (Oct 17, 2010 11:37:01 PM)
*She perched on a rock s she considered this* You honor my title, even though this ares is out of court boundaries. Thus, I am left with the impression that you honor the authority I hold as well. Even so, given the limits of your domain, woudl you accept my incursion into it to chase down a problem?
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:38:53 PM)
A feint smile lit up in his large golden eyes and they narrowed slightly. His scales took a slightly brighter hue and a few hints to red highlited his largest scales. "I would spare you the need for such a thing, Lord Tyrant. I tolerate no fool in my territory. Just be sure to invoke my name if you wish pity shown for your political endeavor."
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:42:13 PM)
The large croc barely pushed itself up until it's belly rose from the ground before moving to rest a bit closer to Riko. He looked up at her with a calculating intelligence from golden glowing eyes before settling back down, the eyes closing as a rumble echoed from it's belly, almost too low to be heard.
Perri Santana (Oct 17, 2010 11:42:26 PM)
*She laughed softly in the moonlight and nodded* I can live with that. My feeling is, after I make your wishes known for your domain, any that cause problems here deserve what they get.
Riko Nakamura (Oct 17, 2010 11:44:12 PM)
*she watched it calmly and smiled a little as the crock came closer another small smile curling her lips, then turned her eyes up to the talking demons. *
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:44:25 PM)
He nodded slightly, calming, the red of his scales fading away. He leaned forward unconciously towards her, his eyes narrowing, peering at Perri intently. It was not the same glare he had given when testing her measure on their first meeting, but it's intensity held a similiar quality. "And when I come into your land to meet out your justice as I have promised, how will I be viewed by those hens of your court?"
Perri Santana (Oct 17, 2010 11:46:30 PM)
If it is in pursuit of soemone or something that had violated your domain, then you will have my blessing and they will accept that.
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:48:44 PM)
He shook his head again, a grunt emiting from his chest. "That will not do. If I am percieved as an enforcer from outside your domain, brought in like an assassin against your enemies, moral will not last. The order you establish will not be maintained. All will be for naught."
Perri Santana (Oct 17, 2010 11:50:51 PM)
Ahh, I thought you meant when you come to deal with a problem out here that takes refuge within the city. As for the other, soemthings are best done unknown, are they now?
Perri Santana (Oct 17, 2010 11:50:53 PM)
afk a sec
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:53:30 PM)
He nodded slightly, fully aware of the potency of stealth. There was no dishonor in simply being better prepared and positioned than one's enemy. Still he could not agree, however, "When such options are open, they are almost always preferable, but I do not need to remind you of the beings with whom we immerse ourselves. To assume any deed can go completely unknown invites disaster."
Riko Nakamura (Oct 17, 2010 11:55:18 PM)
*sinking off the rock she moved to sit in the grass next to the alagator. Getting comfortable, her hand gently coming down to touch the tail, her eyes focusing between Perri and Shin
Perri Santana (Oct 17, 2010 11:56:27 PM)
and that leaves us where exactly?
Tokugawa Shinjo (Oct 17, 2010 11:57:21 PM)
"Who is your Lord Inquisitor? Who will lead the Ministry of Dragons to police your court?" He asked rather unexpectedly, though he still betrayed no thought or emotion on his features.
Perri Santana (Oct 17, 2010 11:57:59 PM)
Keara. I think she is the best choice.
