The Palm had in many ways become a 4th Palace for the Royal Family. They had a suite at the luxurious hotel there almost always booked to entertain one person or another. It allowed the Soter's to give their guests five star hospitality without it actually being an official state event allowing them to not have to set out the massive pomp and ceremony for what was in effect a business trip. Rather than a military band being present with guardsman, choirs, waving flags and the such a small contingent of smartly dressed Air Force officers awaited at the International Airport. Minister of Defence, Mani Khoroushi, had arrived with a few aides to wait the arrival of the Heyran delegate. He was rather looking forward to the Palm himself, he'd not really experienced it other than for a reception but had heard good things about how they handled the meetings that had taken place there. He waited patiently for the arrival of George Geraldin and when he arrived extended a hand in greeting. "Welcome to Royal Seleucid" he added.
