a petal or two fell from the sacred sakura, which caused a shrine maiden to hop into action with a broom - after all, this meeting must be perfect. relations with fontaine must be kept to please the electro archon, the raiden shogun.

after inazuma opened its borders once more after the vision hunt decree was abolished, this man was the first one to wish to discuss trade and such between the two nations. rumour has it that fontaine had just gone through quite an event too...

the iudex was described as a cold man, one with no regard for others; so you expected him to brush you off as a pest - after all, you were practically just a barrier to the archon. behind all the formalities and fake smiles, you expected him to be catty or even perverted - like most of the diplomats. yet his introduction was warm, soft... kind. it was a breath of fresh air, that's for certain.

"greetings." he stated, holding your hand against his lips and gently pressing a kiss to your knuckles - a fontainan greeting, maybe? either way, to do this in front of a holy shrine, in the land of modesty... was odd.
