"Yes, yes... everything seems to be in order young Kitsune... I've heard of you. Please, do come inside" Says Nawabuta... though soon, he sees on the distance the approach of the other parties... his eyes opening up wide "Boy, boy... it seems like today will be quite a busy day"

Nawabuta also inspected Hana's credentials as she reached the gate before the other parties. With a smile, that gatekeeper instructed her to step inside where Kitsune was waiting "If you don't mind, could I ask you two to wait for our young Master in the same room? Seeing what is coming, there may be need for more rooms to entertain than we have prepared right at the moment"

If the two of them agreed, then a guard would guide Kitsune and Hana together to a cozy waiting room, sparsely decorated but suitable for entertaining guests. A maid would make rounds soon enough, asking if they wished for anything and serving them tea regardless. At the very least they would be comfortable... and if they wished for conversation, they could indulge in it while they waited.

"My, my... I'm already missing the quietness of winter" Says Takeshi with a small grin on his face as he pours over the contents of two letters and he couldn't tell which one was more outrageous! 

"The whole world flutters at the crowning of a new lord it seems" says Chiyo, smiling though with a bit of worry to her features.

"Yes, and it is up to his good judgment and ours to determine the friends from... those who are not" Says Takeshi as he wipes the sweat off his brow, cleaning himself upon a small container full of water to make himself presentable for those who he would be meeting "I better prepare to help out my nephew"

"Yes, Takeshi-sama... my girls are already telling me that we'll be nearly at full capacity soon enough... so many visitors. We must be careful not to insult anyone" says Chiyo as she prepares herself to settle everyone.

"I think it's more of a matter of picking well who it is that we may insult this morning... everyone will be wanting to be received first. Some will take it better than others. I must advice Ryuu so that he may make the best decision possible"
