Thread: A Song Girl and A Mighty Warrior. [Xanaphia & Sugo ]

The Emperor was merely a puppet, nothing more. It was obvious in Diao's appearance in court that that was the case. While the man was dressed regal, Emperor Xian seemed to be completely at the mercy of the man who was supposed to be working for him. Dong Zhou was in control, not the Emperor, he lead this meeting and it was very clear that the Emperor was disinterested in a way. Dong Zhou was the opposite, a young, outwardly innocent and beautiful young woman was presented before him, mainly lecherous thoughts ran through his mind. Diao moved to introduce herself, quite against Lu Bu's wish a slight resistance was given by Lu Bu as she pulled away and introduced herself to the two men before her. They where in an open room, the seating arrangements where simply two thrones at the top about a dozen stairs that Lu Bu and Diao Chan stood at the bottom. Two soldiers stood guarding the door at the far end of the room both holding pikes and Lu Bu was unarmed. Lu Bu was reconnoitering the room and taking in his surroundings so he was surprised by the sudden declaration of his name from Dong Zhou. Lu Bu. The portly man shouted as he stood up and began to almost bumble down the steps, it was his size that did that to him. Lu Bu.. Lu Bu.. Dong Zhou said repeating the mans name as Lu Bu was now actually looking at his adoptive father. You have only been back in Chang'an a day. That's not enough time for you to have made sure that the Garrison is fully prepared in case we where to be attacked. Dong Zhou had crossed the distance to Lu Bu while talking and slapped the back of his hand against Lu Bu's chest. Dong Zhou was more Diao's size height wise of course than he was Lu Bu's. About 5 foot 9 inches the man was not only portly but short as well. Well, get to it. Dong Zhou commanded to his adoptive son. Lu Bu's attention turned from the short man to Diao Chan, he didn't need to move anything but his head, he could very easily see over top of Dong Zhou. He looked in the woman's eyes for a brief second his eyes attempting to speak a thousand words in the time his mouth could probably only speak one. The gist of what his eyes were saying boiled down to 'Don't trust him.' Lu Bu then returned to looking down at his adoptive father and sighed lightly. Very well. Lu Bu said giving a rather uninspired bow before turning around and leaving from the room. He traversed the room rather surprisingly quickly even though he was only walking, not even seemingly in a hurry. It was clearly much quicker for him to walk on his own than accompanying Diao Chan, however he'd not once objected to hook arms with the woman. Now. Dong Zhou said turning, the wriggling of his jowls as he turned adding a pseudo reverb to his voice causing it to appear louder. He walked towards Diao Chan and smiled, he was taller than her, even though he'd been dwarfed by the might Lu Bu it wasn't hard for him to be a couple of inches taller than a young song girl. Dong Zhou seemed over confident in Diao Chan's presence, something that couldn't be noted as much with Lu Bu, he brushed a pudgy finger up against the girls cheek pushing her brown hair behind her ear and smiling in an attempt to be charming. My dear let us leave Emperor Xian in peace and I can show you around the Palace. It's the least I can do. he lowered his voice as if he was talking gently to a puppy at the end of his statement, trying to act nice and generous. He'd not looked at her eyes yet, only her body, it was clear where his motives lay. He bowed courteously to The Emperor who respond with an old and weary 'You are dismissed', likely only for show Dong Zhou called the shots here. He then offered his arm up to Diao Chan with a lecherous smile that wasn't well hidden. Now lets go shall we?
