Negotiation Hall

The car, carrying the Sura royalty, pulled up outside.

(Ok so who do we negotiate with?)

An attendant walked over, and opened the Queen's side door, to allow them to exit from the car.

((I will roleplay as the ambassadors of Earth for now))

(Okay!)

Val stepped out of the car and extended her hand to her son for him to take.
A smile on her face.

Johnny happily took her hand and stepped out of the car.

Michael walked outside the building and gave them both a bow, in greeting. He smiled at the two of them. "You must be Val, and Johnny, of the Sura. My name is Michael, and I am the ambassador of Earth."

Val narrowed her eyes instantly not liking the young man, but greeted him nonetheless by nodding her head in acknoledgment.
"Yes. I am Val, but i would prefer it if you would call me Your Highness. I do not like my name being spoken by people who i do not know very well." She said coldly.
"Now please lead the way to the negotiation hall." She spoke and squeezed her son's hand a bit.

He nodded. "My apologies your highness, it was wrong of me to address you so informally, right this way." He told them, and started walking to the door, opening it for the two of them.

Johnny held onto his mother's hand, and walked with her. He couldn't help but look up in awe at the magnificent building.

Val examined her new surroundings, a wide hall in front of them as they walked which curved to the right as they got closer to the chamber where the negotiations would be held. She glanced down at her child and smiled when she saw his blue eyes filled with awe.
"Do you like this place?"

He smiled and nodded vigorously. "Yes, I do. It looks amazing."

Michael opened the door to the negotiation room, and held it open for the two of them.

She smiled and nodded. She returned her gaze back to the young man and seeing him holding the door open for them. She walked through, seeing a wide windowed room. The place was empty except for a white curcular table in the middle and three chairs surrounding it. A silver tray rested on the surface with a silver tea kettle and three cups untop. She walked to the table with her son and let go of his hand to sit in one of the chairs.

Johnny sat next to her, and waited for the meeting to start.

Michael took his seat and smiled at them both. "It is a great day that the high government of the Sura will take the time to meet with a lowly human like myself."

(Yes i know. Be thankful and bow down to me. Mwahahah lol no)

"Lowly? You may be weak but you are also strong beings. Look at all the inventions you have all created. You are not low, but neither are you high. You are a species that is special in your own way." She said. Although she had said all that and looked calm on the outside, in the knside she was suprised that she had said that.
She smiled and took her sons hand.

Johnny held his mother's hand and smiled.

Michael nodded. "Yes, but you Sura are truly supreme beings."

"And what about the new threat you humans have found. What were they called? Oh yes! The scurge. Are they not as supreme as us?"

"On the contrary, the scurge are low life creautres who prey on the weak, and try to destroy something already so small. They are not supreme. In fact, I hear the Sura have a weapon that can kill a scurge. Is this true?"

Val narrowed her eyes at him and growled quietly.
"Where did you obtain such information?" She asked, calming down.

Johnny looked a bit angered by this statement from the human.

"I heard it through the grapevine."

Val was clearly unsatified by the mortal's reply. She glared at him and glanced at her son, seeing that he was also angry.
She shook her head and returned her gaze bsck at the male.
"Yes, it is true that we have a weapon against them, but i will not use it unless we are all in a dire situation and we are unable to do anthing."
Her eyes had a look of sadness in them.
"But know that once i use this weapon, my kind will cut all ties with this planet and will return home."

He nodded. "Then I pray you don't use the weapon. Also, was it necessary to bring some child here?" Michael asked, not realizing that Johnny was over 260 years old.

"He may have the appearance of a child but that is only because he is still halfway through his 2nd stage of growth. We sura mature slower than you humans."

Michael nodded in understanding. "Ah I see. Please forgive my rudeness."

" now then, will we negotiate or not?" She asked frustrated that they werent doing what they were supposed to do in the first place.

He nodded. "Yes, your majesty. Firstly we would like to know the requests the Sura would make towards us."

Johnny listened carefully.

"Johnny, what do you think we should request of them?" She asked looking at him.

Johnny smiled. "How about if we call upon them, they send their warship Ironhorse, and her entire crew to our aid?" He inquired.

"Hm, that sounds like a good idea. Yes that will be our request then. Now what will yours be?" She asked and crossed her arms as she lesned back in the chair.

He smiled. "Very well. Our request will be that you agree to allow the youths of your great Empire join the Alliance's military."

Johnny looked a bit scared. "NO! I don't want to join the military."

"I would like to allow youths who are in their 4th stage only, would that be alright?" She asked in order to calm her son.

Johnny nodded. "Yes please."

Michael nodded. "That is reasonable. Right now my daughter is on board the Ironhorse." He informed them.

She nodded. "And if it isnt too much trouble, i would like to visit the Ironhorse. That way, i will know what environment the children will be residing in. I do not wish for them to be in an environment where their are descriminated against bwcause of their appearance."

He nodded. "Of course. I'm sure the captain will be happy to have you aboard."

"Very well, i assume the negotiations are finished. Or is there something else?" She asked taking a cup and pouring some tea in it. She lifted the cup to her lips and sipped it quietly.

Johnny got some tea for himself and did what his mother did too.

Michael smiled. "I think the negotiations are done for now."

She placed the cup gently on the table and stood.
"When will we leave to board the ship?" She asked.

"As soon as you wish. We can have the ship primed, and ready, at a moments notice."

"Them i would like to leave immediatly." She turned to look at her son and smiled. "Johnny, I would like you to return home and inform the clans if the events that have happened here and what terms we have settled on. Would you do that for me?" She asked looking straight into his baby blue eyes.

Johnny nodded, and stood up. "Yes ma'am. I will do that right away mother."

She smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Would you like me to open a portal for you? Or are you able to make one now?"
Her green hair flowing around her as she stood straight nd waited gor his reply.

He stood up, put his hands out in front of him, and started concentrating. A small portal opened up in front of him, and he smiled. "I did it!"

She smiled proudly at her son. "That is wonderful!" She exclaimed and hugged him tightly. "You are such a smart child" she told him and pulled away from the hug and poked his nose affectionatly.

He blushed, and then hugged her, before stepping through the portal.

Val's eyes never left her son's small fran until he entered the gateway, the portal closing up and disappearing.
Her gaze returned to the other person present in the room.
"Lets go then." She said, her voice soft and calm. She walked to the doors and turned to wait for the young male.

He nodded and followed her.

((headed to bed))

((Kk ttyt night))

He opened a door, that lead to a small starship, in the courtyard. He opened the door, and motioned for her to enter. "After you."

"Thank you." She said as she noarded the ship and sat in one of the pilot seats, crossonv her legs and arms.

He followed her, and sat in the other pilot's seat. He piloted the craft up to the Ironhorse.

((so too the bridge?))
