"It shall be done, Ryuunosuke-sama" says Chiyo, all smiles as she stands up and goes off to do what she does best. 

"Good luck then, nephew. The Red Boar should treat you well, though I hope the meeting with the Horse ain't too boring" says Takeshi with a grin, as he takes hold of a bottle of sake to bring with him to the meeting with the Dragons. 

As Ryuunosuke walked to his meeting with the representatives of the Boar Clan, he would notice a few unknown people scattered around the mansion. By their clothes, the common retainers of some of the people he would be meeting today, watching his gardens, chatting with guards or serving staff.

Then, in he went to meet with the Boar Clan representative. Sitting on the floor was a large, broad shouldered man, with long shaggy black hair and an abundant red beard. He must have been on his forties, some lines to his face, though his features and expression indicated a booming and cheerful man. Both of his arms were thick as the trunk of a young tree. His clothes were finely made though a little worn, red like the man's beard. The person before Ryuunosuke was Hatamoto Haruo, the Red Boar, Kitsune's uncle and brother to the Clan Head himself.

"Ah, he came, he came! Ryuu-kun, we meet again, ha ha!" says the large man as he rises to his feet, showing off his full height of near 2 meters. Thinking not of protocol, the man walks towards Ryuunosuke, extending one big strong hand to clasp it with him... and should he take it, bring him into a big hug and then pat his back "Man, did you grow up... No way you'd remember me, but I've met you before I did. Though at the time you were still a lil thing being held in Mizuho's embrace... yes, yes I see some of her in your eyes, Ryuu. Grown up to be quite a man, no? Hmm, though I think you can still grow a bit more..." says Haruo, patting his own broad chest "Gotta eat up tons, son! What has Takeshi been feeding you? Heard he's been on a spiritual vibe recently, hope he hasn't been feeding you nothing but bamboo shoots and vegetables. A man ought to eat meat and tons of it! Ehehe, if you come visit us we'll be sure to cook up a whole pork just for you!" 

"Haruo-sama, you're not respecting protocol... and you're not letting Mitsumine-sama speak" says one of Haruo's retainers, with an expression that shows that he has to correct his lord's behavior quite a lot.

"Oh come on, Nabuta, we're practically family in here! Hmmmg but yes, yes, ought to let him practice his graces" says Haruo, winking one eye before sitting back on the floor "Well then... Hatamoto Haruo, of the Hatamoto Clan, rulers of Saita. Here to make a visitation upon Ryunosuke of the Mitsumine. A pleasure to meet you upon your dwelling, young Lord"
