Liese Redwing shook the diplomat's hand eagerly, happy to meet with the agreeable woman again, speaking once Bamboo had finished, "I thank you most graciously, Bamboo, and it is good to see that we are not the only ones who have noticed such."

Leaning back from the handshake, Liese took a step back, behind Laura, positioning herself in the form of parade rest, glancing at the woman beside her for a moment. "You would be correct there, Emissary of Erutin, however I have someone new for you to meet this day, the Archduchess of the Aschen Free Sphere, Laura Rosalind."

The vessels dropped quickly out of folded space, the small Hegemony task group that accompanied the OberfĆ¼hrer accompanying the angular cruiser. It was quite a trip, from Erutin territory to the Aschen border, but the signal seemed legitimate enough, and His Majesty had deemed peaceful contact, if only for the moment, was to be the course of action taken with the Aschen. Signaling the mining post, a communications ensign asked permission to send a shuttle,

"Unidentified mining post, this is the HIMIV Geryo, retinue of the OberfĆ¼hrer Redwing, blood of the Premier Redwing, requesting permission to send a small entourage to negotiate."

The small fleet moved to well within forty kilometers of the station, and in a moment launched a shuttle with an escort of four Koeppen K-532s to descend to the surface. The delegation was, as pertaining to recent interactions, of the typical size. Only three members, the OberfĆ¼hrer Redwing, Duchess Rosalind and an armed LandwƤchter guard, were to meet with the Aschen, and such was all that was needed.

Landing in good time, the small group descended from the boarding ramp of the craft, all three sporting the asphalt uniforms of the LW, the white Sam Brown belts and visor caps.

The trio arrived at the discussion table before too long, all three without their cover now, and as a first act of business gave the two men opposite in the room from them the traditional Belkan salute. Lowering their arms in time, both Redwing and Rosalind took the seats offered to them, while the guard took a position to the rear of them, standing at parade rest. Redwing was the first to speak.

"I assume it was you who summoned us?"

Liese Redwing nodded in response to the offered refreshment, ordering, with a glance, for the guard to take the first drink. Apologizing as he rudely slurped a gulp or two down from a glass behind her, "Forgive the precaution. Nothing personal, just principle. Now, before we move onto discussing business, we should at least get to know each other. As I'm sure you know, I am OberfĆ¼hrer Liese Redwing, and-"

Liese Redwing looked to Laura with an icy glare, finishing despite the interruption, "... And this is Laura Rosalind, Archduchess. You might recognize her, if you look closely enough."

The two women looked rather indecisive on the matter, glancing at each other before turning to the bodyguard who stood behind their chairs, the man possessing in his stance more authority than the two combined. It was obvious that Redwing didn't think much of her, but that was everybody, and Rosalind, still with the mind of a teenager, was confused.

Liese Redwing shrugged, looking rather displeased with the matter at hand. "I have no idea, Mr. Hagen. I suggest you start taking action to ensure the well-being of your guests."

She still stared out over the panoramic view of the vast metropolis that the office's window provided, her hands clasped behind her back under her greatcoat, waiting a few moments to respond to Thistle's words. It wasn't that she meant any disrespect to her, but Redwing made sure to set the pace of the meeting, and she had to admit, the reference to the Erutin leader with such a prestigious title couldn't help but irk her. The Erutin didn't know, and they weren't to blame for their ignorance, the prophecy of the matriarch was something that, now, looked to be an impossibility. Turning from her commanding view, the Archduchess revealed her face to the two, taking a moment to look them both over before descending to their level from the office's raised portion. "An honor and a pleasure. I am Redwing, Archduchess and regent of the Hegemony." Approaching the twins, one could see much more of her attire than earlier, the black of her uniform hiding the details against the brightness of the city.

The tunic she wore had an open collar, like most LandwƤchter tunics, with two gold bullion oak leaf collar tabs on red wool backing that contrasted well with the rest of the tunic's body. Trimmed in gold bullion, her collar hinted at two shoulderboards, a rather fetching blend of silver and gold bullion weaved knot designs, hidden underneath the greatcoat, barely visible. Oddly enough, unlike most uniformed Hegemony personnel, she bore little in the way of awards; with only one buttonhole ribbon and a single badge on her left breast. However, what truly finished her look were the breeches, along with the ever-present Belkan jackboot.

"But you two," she continued, "may call me Liese."

Redwing blinked in immediate response, sympathy was a rare emotion in the Hegemony. As it stood there were three different words to express the concept in the Azrelk tongue, and well over twenty for the concept of retribution. However, Liese made no move to look surprised, her LandwƤchter indoctrination serving her well. "That is a very warming thought, Thistle. But I don't believe it was in His plan for the Erutin to be in the thick of it in the coming storm." Redwing now allowed her arms to drop, the left revealing a rather lithe but toned hand which barely touched a nearby seat. She hadn't been entirely briefed regarding the situation of the two twins here on TannhƤuser, she just knew they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. "Now it's my turn to apologize, and I am sorry for your treatment following the incident." She trailed off, not entirely sure how to proceed regarding the mention of the situation, one which she hadn't familiarized herself with.

Drawing her right hand to her chest, she laid it flat upon her breast as she continued, "I'm sure your mother must be quite worried. But just how did you get here?"

The thought of personal devices that could allow for intergalactic travel rather piqued Redwing's curiosity, but she digressed. Were it that the Hegemony would ever have the chance to even inspect that kind of technology, peaceable relations with the Erutin would have to be maintained. Simply put, withholding members of a royal family without good reason wasn't a good way to go about that. "Then who are we to hold you?" She asked rhetorically, a smile crossing her lips as she spoke. "I would ask that you send my regards to your mother, but... perhaps it's better that I don't." Having moved her hand from her breast to pick, for a moment, at the golden chain which held the overcoat together upon her.

Redwing offered another glance to Steel at Thistle's mention of his desire to return, one that Steel dared, for a moment, to meet. Regardless of the nature of her stare, Steel drooped his head once more, his vision affixed to the floor ahead of her again. "Well, it warms my heart to know that we are of interest to you." There was a subtle inflection to her voice that seemed off, whether for worse or for better Steel couldn't tell. "And you are free to come and go as you please, and your gratitude to your mother's generosity is too kind." Turning around and beginning to return to her previous roost, Redwing finished, under her breath, "It is our pleasure."

Steel looked to Thistle, and then again to the regent's turned back. She'd released them from the meeting, or so Steel assumed.

The ships were largely unassuming, three destroyers and a cruiser, and looked to be, for all intents and purposes, just another one of the many raiding groups that the Hegemony had sent out to raid the Coalition-Caliphate border, save that it lay in the heart of the latter. Even if they were military vessels the Caliphate did little to interfere with them, having a live and let live attitude, being that the Hegemony vessels had done little to interfere with their customs or power their weapons. Before long they'd traversed the portal to Dev Eru, the Erutin world witnessing, for the first time in quite a while, Belkan vessels nearby.

Proceeding to enter orbit, a delegation of three shuttles with escort descended from the cruiser, accompanied by communications from the cruiser, informing them of their arrival.

The shuttles sat down with ease on the pad, the fighter escorts flying a circular patter around once before returning to their base of operations on the cruiser. For a few moments they just sat there, whatever motion that was present inside not being visible to whoever might've been watching for it, like a still pond. The stillness was, however, interrupted by the descending of boarding ramps, almost in unison. Not long thereafter hobnailed boots could be heard descending them, their owners were soldiers, guardians of the regent, LandwƤchter troops clad in parade gear but still armed.

It was a few moments before she descended the ramp herself, likely awaiting word from her people that it was safe to do so, but when she did it was a rather slow motion, taking her time. Accompanied by a personal retinue of her own, a guard on either side, the two companies of troops snapping to attention at the sight of her presence. Advancing beyond the shuttles, Redwing and her sentinels took up positions directly opposite of their Erutin hosts, and she made the first move to salute the fellow monarch. Snapping her hand into the air, her heels clicked together, something that all her guards mimicked.

Dropping her own salute at the behest of her host, Redwing moved to a state of parade-rest, as was habit for her. She smiled subtly, not wanting to appear unpleasant to their gracious allies, "Queen Wing, we are most thankful for your generosity. The character of both you and your people is further emphasized by such an imperial mindset." She utilized a compliment rarely seen outside of the Hegemony, modern society in the Milky Way having corrupted the word into a pejorative, the adjective imperial alluding that one is akin to Him. "We have all the time we could wish for, madam. We would be honored to celebrate with you." Her smile, having grown now, still didn't exceed what one would expect from the hard woman. Taking an initiative, of sorts, Redwing closed with Wing, still flanked by her guards, and offered her hand to shake.

The simple gesture, Redwing thought, would help emphasize their egalitarian nature.

"But of course." Redwing responded almost immediately, shifting her piercing gaze to Blade for a moment before looking back to Wing, "You laude us with honors, Queen, and I'm afraid I do. Even as regent," she then offered her hand to Blade, shaking his as well, "one never truly leaves the service." Stepping back a pace, having shaken both of their hands, Redwing's left fell onto the hilt of her saber, easily worn, as now, without the overcoat that she preferred in colder climates. "My only regret concerning the visit is His absence."

Liese Redwing accepted his sympathy with a nod, acknowledging again His death, an unpleasant look making itself present on her face before being subdued by her will a moment thereafter. "It isn't a problem, Wing... if I may?" Catching herself there, she offered her right hand forward as if to remedy some wrong, hoping that her brash nature hadn't offended her. "Love is a rare luxury in this age, you are privileged to enjoy it."

The suggestion of transport, however, had Redwing undecided. Being that her men were assembled in formation, were they to move anywhere they'd do it in step. "Perhaps we could ride while our entourage could march to the palace? Today is a nice day for a parade." She wasn't wrong, the day was rather pleasant thus far, and she didn't wish to impose upon the Erutin's transports to accommodate all of her guards.

Redwing took the invitation in stride and approached the vehicle with a lengthy step, reaching it in little time. Speaking quietly with her two guards one moved away, rejoining his usual contingent that had now assembled with the Erutin forces, the other still stayed. "Queen, you don't mind if my guard rides with us? He'll stay out of the way, I assure you." She intended for him to ride up front, away from the two, though her motives regarding his presence weren't entirely present. Having asked as she took on the of rear seats, she held her saber so that it wouldn't interfere with her seat, she looked to the Queen, somewhat eager to be off.

She hadn't been part of a parade in over a decade, recently having been on the receiving end of parades, even while He still lived. Thinking back to that time didn't do her any favors, and instead offered a spare glance to the assembled men and women, the Belkans looking quite the part, their white gear contrasting delightfully with their black uniforms. "I must say, though, you enjoy something of an advantage with your monarchy."
