Exodus smiled at Valeri and offered him an outstretched hand.
"Yes I am Exodus Daro, Lord Minister of Economics here in Revana. It is my honor to meet you my good man." He responds back in perfect Latin, unsure why they're speaking it but not question it to not seem rude. (OOC: Fairly certain the lingua franca of Mundus is English) "May I be the first to welcome you to my humble home of Revana and hope you enjoy your stay here."
As the men are talking, Valeri feels a tap on his shoulder. Looking over he sees a beautiful young woman (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/59/c3/ea/59c3ea3da11ee59f4f8fbc63773a1647.jpg) with blonde hair standing in a red pant suit holding out a tray full of glasses of Champagne towards him.
"I'm sorry for interrupting, would you like any refreshments sir?" She said, giving him a very obvious look up and down and smiling at him.
1. | An honorific translating as "Highness", used for members of the Imperial Family that are not the Emperor or Empress. |
2. | Daitōjin-Onishi term for those hailing from East Moreland. |
3. | Term referring to the Imperial Government and occasionally, more specifically, the Emperor himself. |
"Lothric, Isabel Lothric, Sir." the beautiful woman said, blushing bright red but smiling at the man again. "And I'm no princess, just a humble server. Enjoy your drink and don't hesitate to find me if you need anything."
She backed away, keeping her face on his before turning and making her way back towards the kitchen to restock and to collect her thoughts, given who had just arrived, it was time to take things a bit more seriously.
Exodus smiled as the girl backed off then turned his attention back to Valeri.
"Yes it does take some time to get used to the climate, though I quite love it here." He responded. "As for the Space Agency, yes we do have a state ran one, RASA, the Revanan Aeronautics and Space Administration, ran by Lord minister Rayne over there speaking the the ASA representatives. RASA is working quite close with Nebulus Industries because the private sector has been known to be able to get certain things done faster at times and with better efficiency."
Exodus was disappointed when Valeri had to go, he had enjoyed talking to the man, but he understood that some people were busy, so he shrugged and made his way towards the bar to grab himself something a bit stronger than champagne.
Isabel made her way through the room with the a special grace, keeping out of the way and out of sight in a way only a server could, topping off people's glasses and offering appetizers. After a bit she noticed Valeri sitting in a chair of to the side looking at his phone. She had seen some of the exchange from the corridor and she had spent long enough reading people to see what Valeri really thought about Exodus. She made her way over to him, topping off his champagne and dropping a small folded paper into his lap before disappearing back into the crowd.Spoiler: show
As Alex stepped around Isabel, the latter winked to her old leader and even blew her a kiss before making her way towards a bit more secluded area of the Garden. She knew after this meeting she'd have to leave quickly, now that her cover was blown. After a few moments she watched as Valeri stepped out of the palace, and she got his attention and guided him over to her.
"Good Evening Secretary. I'd like to reintroduce myself. My name is Erica Sidonis (https://independentorder.net/index.php?topic=2409.msg22036#msg22036), Ambassador to foreign nations from the legitimate government of the Enlightenment of Haven of Sovereignty. Long title I know." She smirks as she bows deeply towards the man. "I see in face the distrust and dislike you have for the Revanans and the Achkaerins. We are a group that is trying to put an end to their imperialist ways and could use the help of Holy Kingdom of Samantra in this endeavor."
Ronald smiled as well to Jiro's response.
"I plan on having a cargo capable vehicle by early to mid 2022 so I'll send the DNSA an offer around that time if you're still interested, as well as a few ideas I have on modules for the station." He said before taking a sip of his Champagne. "As for Nergal, yes it is ambitious, but I feel that no goal is worthy enough if it has no ambition and a small amount of overconfidence. We will of course be completing other goals before we reach that. Moon Landings and the such. A big one that we will be cooperating with RASA and hopefully others around the world is a project we call Charon, which we're keeping under wraps until it we know it's possible for us."
