The Achkaerinese Emperor
Peter Azurewind sat in the large living space of the Marble Palace, his shirt off so that the royal physician
Doctor Maddy Dale and Nurse
Zoe Croft could check on the status of his artificial arm, this happened on average once every three months now as it had been around eighteen months since the attack that had done the damage.
"Just slowly rotate your shoulder Peter." Zoe said, while Peter was sat on the sofa Zoe was kneeling on the sofa next to him so that she could check on the muscles, Maddy meanwhile was crouched in front of the Emperor watching intently. "It still feel good?"
"I've got used to it." Peter said "It does feel like I never lost the arm, right up to the part where I set off every metal detector at an airport. Though on the plus side I've got a pretty hefty right jab now."
"Don't use it." Maddy said
"Peter" the Foreign Affairs Advisor
Nettie Taylor said stepping into the area as the medical exam continued "You have to see this." she handed the Emperor a copy of a

"I convinced that cousin of yours to do it." Nettie said
"Which one?" Peter asked
"The youngest." Nettie said
"Good." Peter said
"We're done." Maddy said
"How's it look?" Peter asked
"Solid." Zoe said she slid her legs down so she was now sat next to Peter, Maddy handed the Emperor his shirt which he pulled on and started to button up with his left hand, this had been one of the interesting experiences having lost his right arm and therefore his dominant hand - having to learn how to do things left handed.
"How long?" Peter asked
"They land any minute it's about half an hour after that." Nettie said
At the airport
Ashleigh Whitaker stood waiting, she'd been sent to do the welcoming because Peter was busy trying to spread the diplomatic responsibilities out from the usual suspects, the hilarity was this had been so effective that the usual suspects hadn't done anything for a while. She saw the plane land and saw the Himeyaman delegation approaching
"Premier Musashi welcome to Achkaerin" Ashleigh said "I'm Ashleigh Whitaker, the Emperor's cousin, he sends his apologies at not being able to greet you but his doctor ambushed him, I've been asked to escort you to the Palace."
