Karesh Salib
It was hot. Well it was hot for Furumaki, but it was slightly cold for Karesh's tolerances. What he wouldn't give to go back home and be able to ignore the stupid infighting between the two big factions and focus on the goodies that were left behind or otherwise left unguarded when the two factions clashed. Sure he'd get tossed a few jobs to deal with minor disputes or maybe to cause them, but the House of Carnesale always paid well and on time. Better than most people who had employed him, that was for sure. Well, they were the only employer for him, but all the same he was glad for the steady money.
He'd arrived by hitching a ride on whatever caravans he could find. He was careful to try and not favor any one side too much, Karesh preferred to keep his head attached to his shoulders thank you, so he strode in separately. Some people around him would have made him a target, which was opposite of what he usually did to get into these huge events.

He looked over as another person came in behind him. A mercenary from the look of her. She was the most interesting person in the room, although it seemed that there weren't many people in said room.

Ryoichi Aseryo
Ryouichi was early. He was always early, because he'd travel off of any sort of predicted schedule. Arrive three days early and put off any would be assassins. Of course that meant he was always waiting for things to start. He had to be careful here not to start a fight, because that would lend him legitimacy if something were to happen and Tosen ended up starting a fight. Ryoichi kept his patience and stayed in his spot, papers in hand and flicking through them carefully.
They were letters of varying importance and due to his travels he had put them off so now he decided to read them while he waited for the meeting to truly start. He also considered cutting his hair, what to have for food later, and a dozen other things he had put off for the sake of continuing his work. Sleep was among them, but he decided to put that off awhile longer. He did shave though, first appearances were important and could not be delayed.
