"Enter."
Ambassador Ueno entered as requested, the escort following right behind her. Inside were President Make and her... adviser, whom she recognized as Akane Kuno. She hid her irritation at the situation, having expected to have a chance to speak one on one with the President herself. It appears that won't be happening, she mused deep within her thoughts.
Pleasantries were exchanged and so were handshakes. Soon she was sitting with the President of the Chikasun Republic and her adviser, the latter opting to serve the tea. As President Maki spoke, Ambassador Ueno listened, masking her true feelings on the matter deep within. Senator Yamamoto's "poisoning" of the fate of the trade agreements were troubling, but more so was the rather chaotic way this matter was handled. Why had this vote been held at this time? It was clearly a calculated effort to pass the trade agreements through a rather backroom play. If the President had been more popular this would have been fine; this was not the case though. President Maki was slowly digging her own grave even deeper than before; she did not have that much popularity to play with and she was under investigation for corruption allegations. This failed attempt would be a major blow that would surely sink the ship. It was now Ambassador Ueno's job to make sure Kazemura could salvage something from this.
However, she had been given explicit orders to continue pushing for the passage of the trade agreements. While she would usually balk at such a concept, the orders came from Her Imperial Grace herself; those were not orders she was ready to defy. Regardless of her position on the matter, she would hold the line until the Shimazun Council had their vote as instructed.
"You Excellency," Ambassador Ueno began, setting down her tea cup. "I must admit I am perturbed about the recent developments. I had not realized Senator Yamamoto felt so strongly about these trade agreements, despite the meticulous detail that went into their creation. Unfortunately, our government has strong feelings on these trade agreements as well, although admittedly in the opposite direction." She smiled sadly and clasped her hands together in her lap.
"We are hopeful that the Chikasun Senate will reconsider the trade agreements in a more favorable light. I am willing to do whatever it takes to see these trade agreements come to your desk as soon as possible. Is it possible to get an idea of what the potential vote would look like at this time? If so, we could perhaps plan a strategy to whip the last few votes needed to get this passed through your Senate."
