A Scorpion Couturier arrives in Kyuden Kasuga and asks the samurai where she could find one Kasuga Himiwari. The guards regarding her intentions with some doubt escort her to where he could be found. When presented she announces that she was asked by a superior to deliver a letter addressed only to him. With that she proffers the missive with a deep bow of respect. Holding the note as a Samurai would offer his sword to his Daimyo.
Himiwari-san,
I do hope that all is well with you and all your endeavors. I wished to inform you that once my duties to escort the new Dragon envoy and minor clan business, that I will be traveling to your beloved Kyuden Kasuga to learn more of your lands, it people and your Clan. I have been assigned as the envoy of Clan Scorpion to Clan Tortoise.
With the intention of good will my messenger, Lady Bayushi Misako, is to relinquish a personal gift from me to you. It will be the first of many. The fan she carries is of a summer scene upon a beautiful sandy beach. Perched upon it is a grand old tortoise sunning itself watching the waters for anything that comes. It has reminded me of your Clan's sacred duty to watch and protect us fro the danger of Gaijin from the sea, and I wish you to have as a token of our friendship. My agent will offer it the required number of times, as is custom. So I humbly request that you accept the gift for what it is meant to be.
Until we meet again, oh ponderous friend.
I am as always,
Shosuro Ichiro
Daimyo of the Shosuro family
Diplomat and Courtier
With the finally reading of the letter you see Bayushi Misako has pulled out a long wooden box hidden in her sleeve. She opens the box and offer the exquisite fan with in.
"From my Master to you, honorable Kasuga-sama, is this gift he offers. I ask that you receive it for the good intention it is given in."
