With the rather rude awakening the day had begun with, Ryusei was a bit out of sorts, but dressed in a hurry.

It was time to make sure they were all on the same page.

Shingo arrives at the planned time, though dressed a little less formally than he will be later in the day. The earthquake has clearly cracked his usually impeccable on, and he doesn't seem to be trying too hard to repair it at this hour. His greeting to Ryusei isn't cold but it is informal, and the Isawa quickly finds a seat and a warm cup of tea to help him center his thoughts for today's work.

Ebiko also wore a less formal kimono than she would later, choosing to sit to the left of her cousin with a brief smile and nod of greeting. She also had a genuinely anxious look in her eyes, with a slight furrow to her brow. Among her immediate clansmen maintaining the most perfect On was less a priority when it seemed something was quite off. After all, she was merely a scribe.

She also picked up her tea to sip but stared at the
wavering surface anxiously.

"Isawa-samas. I trust the morning finds you well."

Ryushi wearing his formal kimono and made his way to the courtyard of the Phoenix delegation. The Shiba bowed to the present but kept his distance respecting the space.

Ebiko began to start a daily history lesson that would normally be decently easy for her and relate it to current court events, or started to rather. The earthquake left her a bit shook it seemed and only a few muttered words came out of her mouth.

"Hm. Maybe we should focus on present business for the time being?"

Ryushi just nodded and kept to himself.
