* The Emperor sat at his 'throne', the large ornate chair that hovered a few inches above the ground. he looked over the rooms master controls, taking note of the empire's vital signs and whatever 'goings on' were taking effect. when he heard the three, he turned around in the chair, then waved to the three teens* Welcome to Imperveress... I am Emperor Ress. I hear you have come here for a safe home? What are the particulars of your stay?

Descending Fire 20,
Good day, Emperor. My name is Waiting Lotus and I have no idea what you mean about particulars
*the orange and green-haired young man chuckles and runs his fingers through his hair, a good-natured smile on his face*
Hi, I am Flickering Butterfly and the three of us are martial artists
*the wispy white-haired girl gave a short bow to Ress, figuring a standard bow should be good enough since she didn't know any of the local customs*
*the third and final person nodded once and watched Ress with that same sizing up stare she used on Sentinel*
Blood Coil

* Ress chuckled to himself, not used to speaking to children.* Perhaps I am being obtuse... what do you want in return for joining the empire?"

Descending Fire 20,
*the three of them huddled together and conversed for a few moments, weighing the pros and cons of asking for more than just somewhere to sleep as well as wondering if there was a catch to it all. Now and again one of them would look up and over at Ress, mostly Blood Coil, before they stood up straight and fanned out again*
Um, Emperor Ress, I believe that we are missing some information here. We just want somewhere to continue our lives, why would we be compensated for it? Are martial artists really that valuable here?

* Ress was silent for a moment, then spoke up, slightly confused*
You are Dragon-Blooded, are you not?... my trusty guiding spirit, Sentinel, informed me that the three of you are blessed by the elemental dragons... if so, we are here to negotiate the terms of your allegience

Descending Fire 20,
*the three teens looked at each other and raised a few brows*
*Blood Coil rolled her eyes at the other two and thrust out her hand. In it was the flyer from the town they had found it in. She gave the other two a look and pointed at the paper where it said "Dragon-Blooded"*
Oh! I suppose that makes sense, though we weren't looking for husbands and a wife. I mean, a boyfriend would be nice..
*Flickering Butterfly's pale face flushed with pink as she spoke*
But, um, we're kind of young, don't you think?
*Waiting Lotus chuckled a little and shook his head*
Emperor, Butterfly has a point, though I'm not sure what a legal marrying age is around here. What sort of rules were you thinking about? I think I speak with all of us when we say that our needs at the moment are simple. Mostly we want somewhere to stay so we can finish our martial arts training and make a new life. We can work or hunt our own food but a family is kind of a sudden thing for us. Perhaps we should have a temporary contract that allows us to reach full adulthood and then make a more appropriate contract once we are settled and know what to expect out of this empire.
After all, this is a new experience and I would personally like some time to think over any life-changing decisions.

* Ress scratched his cheek with his index finger, then gave a nod, smirking slightly*
" Very well... you all will have a home here, but when you are of age, then I will seek you out for your answers. Fair is fair after all.... if there is nothing else, the dragon boats underground will take you to your respective homes"

That is indeed fair, Emperor. I suppose that we shall see you later, then
*Waiting Lotus smiled and offered him a wave before turning to leave with the others*
Good day, Emperor, have a wonderful time with your family
*she smiled at Ress, noting the look of a man with a young one in his home and went to join Lotus as he descended to the boats*
*Blood Coil glanced to see that her companions were leaving and paused, turning to Ress for a moment. She looked more like a girl than she had since she had arrived, mostly in the look in her eyes. She opened her mouth, looking like she wanted to say something embarrassing or personal*
Emperor... I.. make sure my husband is strong!
*she turned on her heel and ran off to catch up with the others before she could see how foolish she was in the look on Ress's face*
