"No issues on my part Frank... and using the first name of a foreign ruler is only appropriate among equals no?" He grins and lets that sink in for a moment "Yes it is Alcolai, as I said to the majestics... I prefer a certain informality about me. Makes saying what you mean easier and clearer. It can sometimes" he gestures to the King of Justosia "ruffle a few feathers when the other person doesn't realize he's among equals... not subordinates." He turns back to the King and inclines his head somewhat indulgently "I had assumed you were aware that the Council of Righ operated as the executive for our nation... and while one may not always speak for all, there have been few times in history where the council failed to live up to the sworn word or declared actions of a sitting Righ. I lead not only my Clan sir... but my nation. Equals. Hope that settles your non-noble crown back into place..." OOC note... that was non-noble, not ignoble... very specific difference |

Aled Drystan walked into the meeting hall relatively unnoticed by the other diplomats and leaders, not just because they were deep in conversation but due to the fact of Drystan's physical appearance. Even for an Artfulian he was a short, common-looking middle-aged man with square glasses and a receding hairline. Luckily for him you don't get to be the minister of foreign affairs of Artfulia on looks alone. He approached the leaders of Justosia, Rathnia and New Emberline without drawing their attention until he coughed politely. "I beg your pardons for the intrusion, lords and lady. My name is Aled Drystan and I'm Artfulia's foreign minister. My attending this meeting was not planned in advance--Emperor Franddu was apprised of the... proceedings not long ago and had thought it prudent to offer his resources in achieving a peaceful compromise. Naturally we had it approved by our hosts, but as electronic communication to the outside has been turned off most of you may not have been notified, and I apologize for any inconvenience." |

"Good to see you Aled, I don't think we've met... I'm Righ Anum Bomani. Anum by preference. I'd introduce the others but remain unaware of their personal protocols for that so will leave it to them." He offers his hand "I hope to visit sometime... maybe once this is over something can be arranged." |

Aled shakes Anum's hand and smiles genuinely, "Glad to make your acquaintance, Anum. Please, call me Al, and yes we would love to have you visit our country. In a few weeks we will be celebrating our foremost national holiday, the day of Ardd's arrival." Aled turns to King Francisco and gives a well-practiced bow, "Your Royal Highness, it is an honor to be in your presence. I would also extend the invitation to visit Artfulia to you, if you'd care to grace us with your company." Lastly Aled turns his attention to Milena and offers his hand, "You must be Foreign Minister Milena Skouros. It is a privilege to take part in this important conference." |

"I think I can accept the, very fished for, invite Al. Thanks... love to attend the celebration" He pauses a moment "How religious is it likely to be? I'd like to be prepared if its a long ritualistic event, but a shindig demands a whole different loadout if you get my drift" He indicates the doors to the room with his head "There's probably some protocol or other that your staff and mine will have to cook up... just let 'em know. I'll fly in if I have to ride coach on a tertiary carrier." |

Serafine Dubois talks to Prismosian ambassador to Slostia Dolph Kurdle. "These talks are increasingly futile Dolph, our glorious President Sylvia Woolf has instructed our delegation to leave if our points are not addressed. For the sake of peace Justosia must recognise Prismos as a sovereign Xian State with established borders. We shall continue our tests near Anu-Asiya and perhaps Githan controlled Zones but our senate has voted against joining the Nuclear-Non Proliferation Treaty" "Patience is a virtue Ms Dubois, I also noticed that Prismos is now pursuing a Space Programme which might escalate the Hrystan crisis causing a new space race and arms war. But I suppose every nation has the right to pursue technological endeavors. I urge you as a fellow Prismosian to stay and tell our beloved President that peace maybe around the corner" Serafine then phones President Woolf... |

Milena Skouros turned away from her chat with the Laddneian envoy to speak to the New Emerline representative, "Righ Bonami, I wonder at your insistence to antagonize my Justosian friend here. Is this normally how you behave or have you made a special exception for the King? Or maybe it could be the alcohol talking even though, forgive me, I haven't been monitoring your drinking habits at this conference. I don't know off the top of my head the size of your country's budget, but I suggest you grow it a tiny bit so you can afford to purchase a couple copies of 'How to Win Friends and Influence People' or just one copy of 'How Not to Annoy People at International Peace Conferences." I think it would be a good investment." Skouros then turned to the Artfulian representative and shook his hand, "I am indeed sir. It is a pleasure to meet you and I for one welcome your company at this conference." Glancing back to Righ Bonami, but till addressing the Artfulian, "Maybe your presence can brighten our proceedings since the atmosphere of these proceedings has been much diminished as of late." |

Ryosuke Akagi smiled in amusement. She has teeth as well, he thought of Milena. |

"Thank you, Ms. Skouros. I certainly hope I can inspire a spirit of peace and compromise in these talks. It is Artfulia's belief that these conflicts not only impact the nations involved, but the entire world as well." |

Anum's expression is one of pleased surprise "Nice job Madam Skouros, and in all honesty I had pretty much picked him. Every other delegate seemed willing, after some cajoling, ro act in faith and actually negotiate. The Justosian showed up to avenge his wife's honor... that's not a position for peace but for war. Until the Laddenean showed up I had hoped the ego involved was solely Justosia's but then the carbon copy arrived and I had yet to decide if it would be necessary to treat him similarly" He doesn't take the care to be particularly quiet about what he was, or is, doing... doesn't seem to care who knows or overhears him. "Its a done deal anyway... with the ones side becoming deceptive and the twin egos here to assure the barbarians stay outside the gates. We are almost assured of failed talks. It was close... and I'm not willing to give up if the principals aren't... I'd still like to see the Demonesu proposal go forward if it can... just don't see the sides honoring it once they give their words is all" |
