The City of Khyat was around 10 minutes of a ride, as the limousine first passed the green tropical lands of Phuebra, where you would see rice farms and people harvesting it, soon in the distance you could see the skyline of Khyat, and as they entered the city they first had to drive through the slums which surrounded Khyat, the Phuebran government had put screens next to the highway, to in their words: "control the sound pollution" but in reality did it so that people who passed on the highway wouldn't see the terrible state of these neighborhoods, however, there were of course still spots where the screens couldn't completely block the view, and where the slums were still visible. To distract the Rokkenjima guests a little from the sight of the slums, Rothanak started a little small talk, "i hope the weather isn't treating you to badly, the rain season can be pretty tough, but if you ask me, i kind of love the tropical smell around you when the rain has just stopped, when i smell it, i always know i'm home."
Chariya had just finished meditating at her little altar with a Buddha statue, even though she wasn't raised very strictly Buddhist by her parents, she always loved going to the temple with her mother when she was young and meditate, it always brought her calmness and made her relaxed in stressed times, this was a stressful day, she was quite nervous to meet with the Empress of what is perhaps the most powerful nation on Mundus, and also a nation which has influenced Phuebra in many ways by being it's more powerful nation, were it economic, culturally, but also, as a woman, never really taken seriously in a very patriarchal society that is the Phuebran, the fact that the most powerful nation in the world was a woman, always gave her motivation to ignore the men who said she wouldn't make it, and look at her now, President of Phuebra. For this big occasion she had decided to put on a traditional Phuebran dress (think Thai traditional dress, since she was President she has always motivated Phuebrans, especially members of her cabinet to be proud of their culture, as before the civil war, Phuebran leaders and politicians always wore Karinyan (ooc: western) style clothes like suite and tie, according to her this was still a sort of bowing to it's former colonial rulers, but now Phuebra is free and proud. She was escorted by her advisors to the entrance of the President Palace where she could see the military escort that was escorting the Rokkenjiman delegation arriving at the palace, she walked down as the soldiers saluted her, the door of the limousine was opened by a Phuebran soldier and as the Rokkenjiman delegation stepped out of the car Chariya walked towards them, put her hands together and bowed, "your imperial highnesses, it is my biggest honour to welcome in my Palace and in my country, i hope you have enjoyed your travel!" Now one of the advisors handed her the presents for the Rokkenjiman delegation "we have some presents for your because we are so grateful for your visit, i here have a bottle of some of the best Phuebran rice wine out there, and i also here have for you traditional Phuebran dresses, similar to the one i am wearing now, now if you'd like to follow me, the cooks have made some wonderful meals for us, where we could start our talks."
