Sasha and Joseph had rarely had the opportunity to work together. This trip would be a perfect opportunity for the minister and the possible future ambassador to the nation of Taerrus to get to know each other.
Joseph had spend much time during the civil war to gain aid from neighbouring countries, bringing allies in to quell the violence and provide safety to the innocents caught in the crossfire. He had a long history of making influential friends and building a sound international network. Sasha was very young and came out of the wars relatively unscathed. She had graduated a few years ago from university and was very much looking to prove herself as a capable member of the ambassadorial team.
The two izinduna sat opposite each other in the private jet.
"I've read over the documents on the tribes' customs and traditions, " Sasha said placing the document on the small stand next to her. She shifted her weight before continuing, "They're very similar to our customs, there is a lot that we can help them with in this unification."
The minister turned his attention from the world beyond the aircraft window to his companion. "It is our hope that we can begin talks for a diplomatic mission during this trip, we'll offer all the support we can. This island looks like a paradise with a lot of tourism potential," mused the minister as the aircraft descended.
As the door opened, the first thing the delegation noticed was the warm, sunny weather. Shasha couldn't help wondering if the Celebration of Unification had been purposefully planned at a time of perfect weather or whether the weather was always this fine. A convoy of vehicles awaited the delegates and their aides, a guide was smiling up at them from the bottom of the stairs. Sasha stepped off the stairs and onto solid ground with a large smile. Opening her arms she walked up to the host guide for a friendly hug.
Joseph smiled as he saw his colleague's greeting to the host, he had heard many good things about Sasha Swati. She came highly recommended for this trip. He made his down to the asphalt also smiling from ear to ear, followed by the two aides.
As you land on a small airstrip in Lorn Territory, you are greeted by the sound of drum, loud horns, and cheering. When you take your last step off of the stairs and onto the tarmac everything goes silent, in front of you stands a young handsome Gentleman wearing shorts, a half buttoned thin cotton shirt, and flip flops on his feet, Behind him is an elderly women wearing a blue sun dress, a Gentlemen in a Gold set of robes, similar to a kimono, a young women in a fiery red dress with flowers in her hair, A gentleman wearing a thin purple cotton shirt and a pair of shorts barefoot, a gentleman in a orange buttoned up shirt, with a pair of denim capris, and finally a tall blonde haired gentleman wearing a simple pair of Jeans, and a white shirt with the Nation Seal over his left breast.
The Gentleman bows and introduces him self as the Director of Foreign Affairs, and the Secretary to the Tribal Council Cerron of Lorn.

As he says their names they all bow or curtsy.
They then hug the members of your party welcoming them to Taerrun and removing a necklace from there necks and giving to everyone that is travelling with you.
