There were many things to be concerned about, to have your attention drawn to, or to focus on among in this strange place. And it just so happened that Yuudai was afflicted with her attention being deep in focus with something. Was it the disobedient dog, cat-thing, who doubted the legacy of Yuudai’s empire? No. Was it the ramifications of the portal? Of course not; for this did not phase the Emperor in the slightest. Then perhaps it was surely the destination, Yuul City. Ha! This was but another familiar, well not this one in particular but she was well aware of fantastical landscapes, land for which Yuudai’s Empire would extend. No, the matter was a much more nefarious and horrid manner. 

[b]That mountain hermit slung mud into her hair.[/b] Actual mud no less. 

The expression on Yuudai’s face, as she relegated herself to the side desperately wringing her hands through the substance, was clear. It was a cocktail of emotions, from sniffling of depression, to closed nostrils of disgust, to an intense hateful glare twinkling in her eyes. Managing to remove traces of it, Yuudai flapped at her hands to fling the rest of it off as she angrily eyed around for the two heretical elements of the Empire. 

Alack and despair for they were not to be found! More misfortune was clear as the Rodent-kin believing in fully in a ‘frontocracy’, as opposed to the complicated structure of law and order of Yuudai, began to make claim to Yuudai’s throne. With a distinctive pout, Yuudai began pointing dramatically towards the bipedal vermin creature, as she stomped her foot. 

[color=FFDDF4][b][i]“Disobedient and foul whelp! I am much more of a Valentinian!”[/i][/b][/color] Her ears flickered as she heard the words of a far more loyal servant, one that struck her more like the nobler beast, the sprite of green hair. Yuudai looked towards Rihi with a satisfied smirk and a twinkle in her eyes, before placing a hand on her hip and using her other hand to perform a quick flourish.

[color=FFDDF4][i]“It is as she says.”[/i][/color] Yuudai slowly raised her hand towards her mouth as she let out a confident laugh, well it was less a laugh and more a giggle, before continuing on and wagging her finger at Erin in a dismissive manner. [color=FFDDF4]“This is not a situation of danger. A situation where I need not take point as to protect my subjects, after all that is one of the foremost duties of the Emperor. With these actions I have allowed you to submit to me what your ‘skills’ and ‘classification’ of subject you are to me. By providing these roles, I can govern you far more effectively.”[/color]

Would that be enough to escape a bit of unwanted explanation at not nobly charging into the fray first? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Only time would tell for this matter.

Swaggering to the area, glancing towards Rihi, Yuudai made it a point to address her. [color=FFDDF4]“...I will forgive the use of diminutive without asking for the Emperor’s permission.”[/color] With many of her subjects having submitting to the crystal test, Yuudai had a fair assessment on where they would serve in her court. But now it was time for the Emperor to engage in the customs of these locals in order to best learn how to rule them.

Snagging the crystal and card, it took but a moment before the dazzling light display and the information to imprint itself on the card. Yuudai seemed content with the results as a smile was etched across her face. 

[color=FFDDF4]“The Emperor is a patron of war, of triumph, of dominance. [b]Of course such divination would declare to the very heavens that Emperor Yuudai would reign above all manner of man as the conqueror.”[/b][/color]
