Tamago
D-rank
Tamago rarely ever practiced calligraphy. In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with her handwriting. The fact that others couldn't read it clearly was completely on them. All resulting misunderstandings were their fault, not hers. But still... There was an important guest coming to the mansion and she couldn't afford any mistakes, even if they weren't her own.
The brush glided gently against the piece of paper, leaving trails of black ink behind that formed the kanji for "negotiate." It was appropriate, to say the least, and in no way accidental. The young heiress had spent the past hour writing several business-related kanji on now discarded scrolls. She would rather be using them to draw, but this needed her attention. Tamago took a good sip from her cup of tea before resuming her task.
The sun shone brightly overhead, as it usually did in Konoha. She enjoyed the weather here. Out of all the places she had traveled to, her home country was definitely the most welcoming. The Land of Lightning was far too cold, the Land of Wind too hot and the Land of Water too humid. The Land of Earth was alright, she supposed, but the lack of greenery made it so that she couldn't appreciate the sunlight as much. With its caves and crevasses, the country was far too dark.
She sat on an ornate chair that stood on the porch that overlooked her backyard. The pool extended far into the sides of the property and was decorated with fountains and the like. The grass was perfectly trimmed and the trees beautifully kept. It was a mansion befitting the Yasuda name.
"You work most diligently, madam," her butler said. She nodded in response. He knew she was grateful for the compliment, but had no time to write or sign it out. He had been with her since she was a child, after all.
Tamago sipped her tea once more and found the cup to be empty. She frowned and looked at the older man, standing in front of the glass doors that led inside.
"Right away, madam," he said and left with a short bow. It was nice not to have to literally spell out what she needed every once in a while. It took no effort, sure, but silent communication was an art.
Looking down at the scrolls in front of her, she decided it was enough for now. She would have her butler be rid of them once he returned with her drink. Having her guest see such a mess would start things off the wrong way. Tamago had no desire to be seen as a child doing her homework.
With her new drink now in hand and the table in front of her cleared, all she had to do was await her guest - the Hokage himself.
