Ringo decides to pay the proper courtesy to the local samurai in charge by stopping by to visit and introduce himself. He carries a wooden box with him that may be presumed to be a gift of some kind. Stopping by the Floral Estates, he gives his name and states that his business with the governess is to extend a greeting to her.

The butler, intimidated by the man's posture, still inquired who he was exactly several times on returns from the building, in some intervals, as if the governess was ascertaining whether he was worth her time. Finally, though, he was lead through a long hallway leading to the inner part of the garden where under an awning he could take a rattan chair and admire the view with a glass of wine... waiting some more.

Ringo thanks the servant as he takes a seat to admire the view. He decides to hold off on the wine for a while. If it seems like the governess is going to take a while he finally relents and tries some of the gaijin spirits as enjoys the scenery.

The governess finally appeared, dressed in her usual: fancy, gaijin and nothing she had worn the day before. She gave Ringo a once-over.

"To what do I owe your visit, Senor?"

Ringo stands and offers the governess a polite bow. "Greetings Senorita Muhaki Yubari. As per proper etiquette, I am introducing myself to the local authority figure. I am Hida Ringo, Crab bushi and engineer with the Imperial Explorers. Thank you for having me on your island. Please accept this token of appreciation as a greeting."

He presents her a box and opens it to reveal some premium rum.

"I apologize that I could not offer you some Friendly Traveller Sake, reknown as the best sake in the Empire but it was unfortunately destroyed during our travel here. I hope this is a suitable replacement." He offers a smile.

"It's Donna for you, Senor." She corrected him without malice, chuckling for a reason she would allude to next. "Do I have a drinking reputation? All of you Explorers seem to be bringing me beverages. I suppose I'll add this to my cellar where it can wait for an occasion or a whim. Certainly your lot doesn't have a good idea of what a cultured woman wants. Drinking myself to death is not really my life goal." She wrinkled her nose with playful reproof.

Ringo offers an apologetic bow. "My apologies Donna Muhaki. I am still a bit rough with some of the nuances with Merenaese."

He looks back up. "I admit that I do not know what a cultured woman such as yourself wants but if you are willing to tell me then I shall do what I can to give you something more to your liking." He smiles with that offer.

"I am a woman of fashion and poise, Senor. Your strange eye must be failing you if you haven't noticed."

"I admit that I know very little about women's fashion to begin with." Ringo remarks.

"Well, it's high time that you educate yourself in this regard, Senor. You have means for it in this city, though admittedly more in the East Port." She said wistfully.

Ringo nods to the information. "Are there any locations in the East Port in particular that you recommend Donna Muhaki?"

He smiles softly. "Your floral estates here are rather impressive I must say."

"There must be something in the Hoof or on the Plaza de Diversidad." She arched a brow. "I won't point you with my finger to it, Senor. Men need to make an effort to acquire my goodwill." She glanced toward the gardens. "Why thank you. Complimenting my garden is certainly one way to approach this, Senor."

"I will keep an eye out for something that you may like for the next time I visit then donna Muhaki." A brief pause. "I hope that I may visit you again. I did not wish to sound presumptuous."

He looks back at the gardens. "Are all the plants in the garden native to this island? It certainly looks like you put a lot of work and care into it."

"I hope the gift your bring next time is thoughtful and elegant." She glanced toward the gardens. "Most are native, I think, but you'd have to ask my gardeners. I am not much of a florist, just an aestheticist."

Ringo nods. "I will see what I can do then."

He listens to the information. "Perhaps I will then. I have a different question Donna Muhaki.

The music and instruments that play them are rather different here compared to the Empire. Though I cannot tell if they are all from Merenae or somewhere else. Do you happen to know?
" He asks.

"Many come from the Tarkhanate and further beyond. Sahat Rasamat on the other side of the island is the place where you should look for greater understanding of foreign music, Senor."

She noded, then glanced at the sun.

"But my time for leisurely conversations has now sadly passed. Don't be a stranger in the future, Senor."

She nodded, turned around and left.

Ringo nods and offers a polite bow goodbye. "Thank you for your company Donna Muhaki and for seeing me. I hope that I see you again soon as well. Please stay well until we then. Carry the Fortunes."

With that, he makes his departure as well.
