This is going Places

[yuemiru]

[So. Perhaps concurrent, or a little bit before the adventures of a certain beepsneeple prince, a young countess was called to a garden in the embassy. She came under protest but, end of the day, Haruhi made it clear that while his niece is afforded her free will and choice in most matters, he is still king and she still has to go to the goddamn garden.

It is a nice one, of course--landscaping is one of the few simple joys the royal family tends to themselves, and they have quite the skill for it--and out of the way. Private. The sort of garden marriages are arranged in. Yue, being so out of touch with things, doesn't know that, but about the time she gets there and starts casually exploring the little ins and outs of it, a certain visiting lord gets a note and directions.

If, by the time he gets there, the Countess of Izumi, Yue Long, is up a tree, well. We don't know what anyone expected. ]

[It doesn't take him too terribly long to arrive; though the streets are far more narrow than he is used to; the architecture here is quite different. But still, a king asks you to come attend to some matter on behalf of your family and their corporation, you hardly say no.]

[And thus, enter Alejandro Calderon, junior representative at the Lords' Council of Nations, and one of the acting heads of the Calderon Foundation, a group dedicated to the proliferation of peaceful technologies and magitechnologies in this post-calamity era.]

[Or as Yue probably knows him, some foreigner, a westerner (judging by the tell-tale dark skin and hair, though his lightens drastically the further from the roots it gets) probably of some wealth and maybe title, who is currently looking rather confused why there is noblewoman sitting in a tree.]

Ah, pardon me.
