The party of leaders and delegates all met up at the Hotel Le St. James. James Essex entered the hotel wearing a business suit and tie, his beautiful wife, Maria Essex in tow.

OOC: Post your entrances, sorry for my crappy one, I'm not getting any inspiraton.

The Assassin General entered and sat quietly. He leaned back and relaxed as best he could, waiting on the arrival of the others.

Hmm. Who knew the Vetans were so hospitable. Perhaps the rumors of their arrogance and insanity were false. I can see why Henraeld likes them so much. He thought.

Erich Kolfuss arrived. He also remembered to wear his bulletproof vest (official policy after Unger's death for all delegates in a foreign land). He was intent on making sure everything was going to plan...after all, the Emperor did not like failure, young as he was. He arrived with his wife and was his usual pleasant self.

The Eleytherian delegate walked in and nodded; "Gentlemen"

He sat down calmly with a slight grin.

OOC: Guys, don't remark on this resturants quality because it's a real one and we could be sued for libel. :D

IC: "Gentlemen," Jason said as the group took a seat at a table. "Thank you for coming. I hope you are enjoying your stay in Veta. Now, first things first. Before we begin, to be frank, I'd like to officially apologize on the behalf of my nation to the Empire of Kasnyia."

Before the Kasnyian could respond, a waiter approached. "Monsieurs...et madame, what would you like to drink, tonight?"

OOC: Whose paying? Jason or split evenly?

IC: Jason ordered a glass of red wine while Maria ordered a glass of rum. The waiter walked away. "Now, gentlemen, if you please, I'd like to ask if there are any objections to Veta' proposed expansion west, as we are here to discuss matters of state."

"Above our colony?" He said, after a sip of Ale. "So long as you stay out of the colony itself, I dont see a problem with it on our end. You invited us out for drinks to ask permission to expand?" He asked, a bit suspiciously.

Garrusso sit in silence, he knew that Durick Veta to the south of Eleytheria could either be an incredibly good thing or an unbelievably bad thing -- he waited to see if Jason would pull out a map.

OOC: I don't have a map because E has specified how much land he'll grant me.

IC: Jason reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a folded out map, showing the current position of Veta, than the proposed western expansion, ending over Checpechat and under Eleytheria.

"I didn't ask you gentlemen out for this reason. But it's one of the things I'd like to discuss. But there's another thing I'd like to discuss specifically with the Assasins. I understand that your colony, Henreald, has always been a bit...rebellious. I have an offer from Senate to buy the colony, if your nation is willing. Name your price, if you would."

While they waited, Kolfuss decided the time would be right to give the Eleytherians and Assassins the Emperor's second letter. He was quick about it, being casual about it.

Claire Freedhelm, recently absolved of her responsibilites as president of The Free Confederacy and on her way back to Esternarx, she decided to drop by for dinner. Her wives went on ahead, helping Alice with her political campaign, while Claire showed up to the dinner alone.

She gave a warm greeting to Jason and poured herself a tall glass of red wine, sitting down opposite the Assassin delegate. It was clear that her appearance was not expected and not particularly welcome, but the Vetan didn't seem too perturbed by it, and Claire had long given up the concept of shame, so she stayed.

"Oh, Mrs. Freedhelm," Maria said before Jason could formulate a thought. "What a pleasant surprise. I have heard that you recently resigned from your nation's Presidency?"

John Garrusso looked at the envelope and it was for Catherine Nerdinskaya, the President.

Looking at the map, Garrusso began to think; I wonder what they are up to, let's put them to the test...

"Ahm, excuse me ... This opens up the possibility of free trade between Eleytheria-Duo and Durick Veta, direct trade with a nation by ground was never possible due to our isolation, until now.

I understand this will be left for the future to decide, but I believe the President would be happy if I delivered her a message if this were to be possible in your mind."

Edit- Assume this happened before Claire came in.

"Ah, of course. You understand that Durick Veta levies no taxation on foreign corporations, so if Eleytheria would do the same we would be have free trade."

OOC: He's still recuperating, remember? I made a topic about that a while back (Return of a Leader).

Catherine is in his place until he's ready to retake the Presidency.

"Yes," Claire said to Maria across the table, ignoring the diplomatic negotations going on elsewhere in the room, "I have finally decided to step down from that particular position and go back to the profession I believe I am actually qualified for." As she said this, she twirled a finger through her hair and stared off dreamily into space.

Erich Kolfuss merely looked at her.

Erich Kolfuss- Good luck with that.

OOC- Now that E is here, perhaps a map...

"Ah, of course. You understand that Durick Veta levies no taxation on foreign corporations, so if Eleytheria would do the same we would be have free trade."

"Yes, of course we will force no taxation on the trade between our two nations, this could be an opportune moment to link the Iron Bison railway between our two Nations."

Garrusso laughed for a moment and said;

"But that is for another time. For right now you have more important issues to discuss; forgive me good sir, proceed."
