"Enter."
The ambassador's escort opened the door and followed after signaling her to enter first. The trip from the Senate to the Red House was short, barely five minutes in late night traffic, so not much had changed in the President's office. President Maki and her adviser, Akane Kuno, were still the only two persons there. They'd now had tea and biscuits, however, likely delivered by the young man that excused himself in a mumble and left shortly after the ambassador entered.
"Miss Ueno," Maki began, rising from her seat and stepping around her desk, "welcome to the Red House." She took one step and met the ambassador close to her desk with a firm handshake. Chikasu had largely westernized, with regards to diplomatic conduct. "Please, sit with us." She guided her guest to the small table in the corner of her office, where the snacks waited. She dismissed the escort with a nod, before taking a seat in the center armchair around the table. Kuno took the one to her right, leaving the the third for the ambassador. Kuno served the tea.
"I'm sure you saw," Maki continued, frowning. "Yamamoto managed to poison the session against the trade treaty." She glanced momentarily at Kuno. It'd been her idea and Maki hadn't made an effort to see where she received her advice. It was because Kuno had told her of Yamamoto's heavy nightly medications that Maki had agreed to the risky emergency session plan and it had backfired. "I'm afraid it will become quite a fiasco by this afternoon."
That the President and her close supporters was being investigated by the Chikasun Parliament for corruption was no secret, and her approval rating had been on a downward trend since the beginning of the year. It was now hovering just over 30%, and if the media spun the story right, the failed attempt to get the trade deal passed in a special session would make her grave quite a bit deeper. She saw this and had no doubts her Kazemuran supporters saw it as well.
(OOC: I'll post about the Shimazu legislature thing after their meeting. -- a thinly veiled attempt to buy himself more time.)
