Ri Wang entered the room, his eyes scanning for known faces. He found himself honestly pleased with the familiar designs and cultural references that surrounded him. A waving hand caught his attention: a young foreign man near a local lady. He put his memory at work for a spell and got the results:  the Bruuman Ambassador and the Huawan High Diplomat. He approached the two, bowing elegantly.

McFaul quickly announced him “High Diplomat Diao Chan, may I present you our esteemed friend, the Kai Fa Minister of Foreign Affairs Ri Wang” “High Diplomat, it is a honour to finally meet you. In the name of the People’s Republic of Kai Fa I thank you for your invitation and bring you the greetings of Brother Lo Pol” Wang followed. “We feel a great strength in our common cultural ancestry, as we feel it in the common political system with our Bruuman friends, and we look forward to develop our diplomatic relationship with the Peony. I will now continue in Austral for respect to the Ambassador”.

“I thank you for your kind consideration Minister Ri” McFaul surprisingly answered, catching both his companions off guard “My ability to speak the language is still not perfect” he added, a hint of a grin on his face. "Point for the kid" thought an amused Ri Wang "This game has already gotten more interesting".
