Nicole gives a slight frown--awfully vague answer, and not from someone she's used to getting vague answers from. She types into the console a little more, waits, types, waits. Finally she gets her answer. "Yes, he'll see you now."
She buzzes open the door and escorts you to an office door. A couple knocks and you hear him say "Ohairi kudasai" and Nicole opens the door. She bows briefly, and leaves you there.
It's a nice office--ironically not as spacious as his son's. It's less a parlor like Ryuki's and more a command center, an extra desk for a trio of computer monitors in addition to the one he sits behind. He gets up and holds out a chair for Zahirah, across the desk from his own. "What can I do for you?" It's a stock phrase; his manners are polite but impersonal.
It's clear even to the casual observer that he is far more reserved than Ryuki, and that his warmth and conviviality the evening before was heavily influenced by alcohol and circumstance. He is now the dragon sitting on his gold.
((nonbumpiness, GM note---Andygal. If Ida were to show up right about now, it wouldn't be too difficult to discover that Zahirah's inside--any objections alexondria? And given that, and what your resonances gave you, it might not be a bad idea to txt Zahirah and ask her if she wants the benefit of those resonances.
I try not to coach, but there it is this time.)
