[center][h2][color=146A26]AkioBai[/color][/h2][/center] Akio listened closely as Aito and Raven talked. He hated correcting people and he hated his English. He wasn’t as good as his brother even though he had studied the language longer. As Aito took charge of the conversation, Akio looked around the room, seeing if he could find Valentine, his betrothed. He had done research on her but to be fair there wasn’t much on her. She was rarely in pictures, she didn’t seem to ever have press conferences and she was all around mysterious. The only things he knew about her was that she liked to be called Valentine, her country was basically in ruins, and her best friend was Andronikos. He also knew what she looked like from the pictures that he had found of her. As he looked around the room he heard the introduction of Andronikos. He immediately became even more attentive as he drew his eyes to the front of the room. He searched for Valentine up front by Anton but she wasn’t there. He began looking around the room. Maybe somehow he had missed the announcement for Valentine and she was already inside. His eyes darted across the room and they landed on a bun and a blue dress in front of a red carpet. He knew it was Valentine. He quickly excused himself from his current conversation before walking over to a caterer. He grabbed two drinks off the tray before thanking the worker. He then walked over to Valentine with a smile. [color=afdf68]”It is nice to meet you Valentine. I am Akio Bai of Talulia.”[/color] He said handing her the drink with a smile. [color=afdf68]”I’m sorry to be bothering you but I thought it would be nice to get to know you since we are betrothed to one another.”[/color] He gave her a soft smile, trying to look kind and not threatening in any way. Some people had mentioned in the past that he had a scary face at times. Other people said he looked soft and like a dough boy and completely harmless. He was really trying for the second one right now. He wanted to make a good impression on Valentine so that she wouldn’t hate him. Hopefully at least one of them could be happy in this marriage.
