Asano-san and Tatsuhiro-sans rivalry was very apparent. It was almost amusing how they glared at each other and made passive aggressive remarks as if it were normal. Yuuki unfolded her fan to hide the smile that was creeping up onto her cherry red lips; their banter reminding her of bickering siblings.

"There is no need for formalities, Yuuki-san. And we are honored that you would accept our summons as you have. You have no need of fear from us, Hideyoshi-san, Yuuki-san. All who are under our banner will not harm you, and those who have agreed to this armistice have also sworn not to harm humans for as long as the meeting conduces the original purpose." A human, so that's what they believed she was? Yuuki would see no point in correcting Minamoto-san as she was half human and so he was almost correct. It did pique her interest as to why Asano-san seemed to harbor such hate towards the female if she believed she was human as well? Perhaps Asasno-san was simply dreading having to negotiate a peace treaty, or Yuuki had misinterpreted the emotions rolling off of her?

A smile tickled her lips once more as Tatsuhiro and the other human male, the one whose name escaped her mind, began the familiar chat of friends reuniting after a long journey. She and her brothers used to interact that way when they would go into town or travel to neighboring villages and return with little trinkets like carved dolls or wooden arrows and stories of unfamiliar lands. An unexpected pang of nostalgia resounded in her chest and slowly Yuuki's smile faded. "We are not here for personal affairs, Ryogi-san. If all is well, I will discuss them with you after the meeting has been adjourned, but now is not the time. If you'll pardon me, Yuuki-san, Hideyoshi-san, is there anything we can provide for you at the moment? Your journey was a long one, and we would see you rested before hand. If you'd like, Rika is attending to the others, and would have you all meet before the meeting. If there is nothing more you need, we are all expected in the quarter room,"

Yuuki shook her head slightly and looked up at the vampire before lowering her fan. "The only thing I could use right now is a cup of jasmine tea." She replied honestly, having rested in the carriage on the way here. "I very much look forward to meeting the other honored guests." Yuuki turned towards the other human male, suddenly aware that he only had one arm and making sure to keep her gaze on his face. She really knew nothing of the people who were going to attend this meeting as Yuuki had been very sheltered from the world when she was a child and upon her time working as a slave it was forbidden for her to be in the room when the Heads of the household were discussing politics. It was only thanks to her recent adviser that she knew a bit about the Minamoto's and the names of the other guests attending. Yuuki hoped this ignorance would not be apparent when they met in the quarter room.

"What about you Hideyoshi-san?"
