The guards still weren't letting Jiang see their leader, his words about an imposter and possible threat to their land didn't change anything.  They had their orders and it would take much more than simple words to change that. "Sorry but we follow Lady Ru, no one else has authority that matters here. And her orders are clear, so if that man is an impostor than you should go handle it yourself as it is a Shima problem and not a Ru one. And unless there is proof of an immediate threat to us, you will have to wait until morning to speak to her."

Hearing them speak Takumi shrugged before turning towards Jiang.[color=00a99d] "Maybe you should see about the guy claiming to be from your clan. Trying to force them to see Lady Ru could offend her as well as the Naji Princess she is with, and now wouldn't be a good time to damage relations between Shima and Naji. The princesses aren't as forgiving or kind as their father can be towards clans that turned down their proposition."[/color] He couldn't decide for Jiang but he suggested what he felt would be the best use of their time, until they could think of a way to get Ru to see them.  He was worried about some important Naji deal going on, especially since the rest of the clan wasn't informed of things. He would normally assume it was about the war, but with the Ki Witch hanging around he feared she may be involved with Naji once again.
