Ambassador to the Tortoise - RP

[kasuga]

Most Powerful and Noble Lion,

While we Tortoise are below your notice, below your sight, and unworthy to be in your honorable presence, we beg your indulgence...

This past winter, a Lion Samurai of some note, Akodo Jin, has had the misfortune to spend time in the humble lands of the Tortoise. His words are as powerful as his sword, and his soul uplifts the lowly nature of all those around him. His example of duty and Bushido is without fault or complaint. He is, far too good to be in our lands.

Still, we Tortoise need your reminder when we have overstepped our bounds, when our head has arisen too far from it's shell. We need your lessons of history, bushido, and the celestial order...

Will you show us compassion and allow this Samurai, Akodo Jin, to serve as the Lion's Ambassador to the Tortoise... to help the lowest of the Clans to understand our place and learn the true meaning of Bushido?

We know that such an appointment must be more a disgrace than an honor, and that spending time among the Tortoise is akin to putting mud on a fine kimono.... Still, we pray your indulgence at our request.

From the Tortoise who recognize that the greatness of the Lion is basked upon all who are around them.

-Kasuga Himiwari
Hatamoto of the Tortoise.

Honorable Kasuga,

We are honored to be held in such high esteem among your people and yourself. Our knowledge of the empire, the war and the guidance we have from the kamis and our ancestors can obviously be used to help another clan. After all aren't you also part of the empire for which we are ready to die for?

I have talked with Akodo Jin and he accepts to be the Tortoise ambassador. I just want you to know that it is an honor for him since the relations between the Lion and any other clan of the empire is crucial to maintain peace within our borders and focus on priority problems like the Yobanjin and the Shadowlands.

I, Champion of the Lion clan, and my honorable samurai's are awaiting our future collaboration with impatience.

May the ancestors be with you.

Akodo Tomatsu.

(When i sent the message to you kasuga this is not what i expected )

While there is some reputation of dishonor amongst the Tortoise, I have only seen friendly disposition and true duty to the emperor performed at great cost. I am quite willing to accept this position and hope to look forward to good relations between our two clans. It humbles me that you have asked for me particularly Kasuga-san and i look forward to working with you and your clan in the future.

As they say in our lands "Kochira Koso", let's turn that exactly around, samas.

Your generosity is astounding and we are greatly honored that you will steward the relationship of the Tortoise and Lion. May we poor Tortoise contribute in Service to the Son of Heaven, and ever be friendly and dutiful. And may the story of our friendship be one that is highly esteemed in the libraries of the Ikoma.

Until we meet again,

Kasuga
