As you know, the Tortoise are the lowest of the low among the minor clans.
We do not deserve your attention, though you are our neighbors across the Bay from the Sunset tower, around the lands of Otosan Uchi (which we work steadfastly to revive), and across the River of the Blind Monk.
However, you have recently had one of your great samurai, Daidoji Hikori spend part of his winter among us. His example of etiquette, honor, and the pursuit of perfection, has made a striking impact upon us.
While we believe that it would be punishment of an assignment for Daidoji-san, and might do his reputation more harm than good... we would ask, humbly, that if you might spare his time for but a few moments, we would like to use him to send communication to our most cultured and friendly neighbors to the South.
Would you consent to making him your ambassador to the Tortoise, for a season, at least? Or at least until he can no longer stand us?
With warmest regards and respect,
Kasuga Hatamoto of the Tortoise.

(ooc: You've heard rumors that the Crane Clan Champion is indisposed with moving Crane troops to the Yobanjin war front. You also know that Kakita Takeo acts as the Champion's Hatamoto, or personal retainer, on behalf of the Crane. Otherwise, welcome! )

The hatamoto of the Crane is greater than the Daimyo of the poor Tortoise... we are honored to have their attention, and hope our humble request will not interfere with the plans of great men, Samurai, and Clans to fight the Yobanjin.
We await your discretion happily.
Thankful for the hospitality.
-Kasuga.

Kasuga san,
We have received your message and please receive the greeting of the Crane clan. Naturally, your clan does not hinder our activities, so if Daidoji Hikori wants to be your ambassador to represent our interests, we will not see any drawback. Clan Crane is concerned about what happens on its borders and we are pleased to maintain good relationship with all the clans, whether minor or major. Thus, you will always be welcome Kyuden Doji.
Please accept our proofs of friendship.
Kakita Takeo Hatamoto the Crane Clan.
