[Jien Kogen]

"It is nothing sir, you have nothing to be unsure of." Kogen motioned to his attendant, and the man scurried off, returning quickly with a tray, on the tray, a traditional tea service was set up, the Emperor pour a cup for his guest, followed by one for himself.

"It is an honor to meet you Holiday, I have heard many good things about the work you do. You are indeed a credit to the daughters of Eris. Chujin I am sure is very proud." He said sipping his tea. "There are a few matters I have to discuss, but first, I would like to know what you think of the relations between Kusari and the Zoners, and Kusari and the TAZ specifically. What are the hurdles, where do we need to work, how can we help each other, and where do we go?" The Emperor took another sip of the tea. "I am interested in your perspective on the matter."
