It was a small spaceport. Not one of the bustling, crowded ones at the center of the attention, but an auxiliary port on the edge of the center of influence, slightly too far away to be really useful for mass transit, but close enough not to be unusable if one wanted to avoid the general hustle.
Miumi was sitting quietly in the spaceport's tiny lounge, looking down her nose through the panorama window overlooking the landing pad, straightening the fabric of her golden obi between her fingers absentmindedly. She allowed herself a little smile as she enjoyed the silence. Her charge had not enjoyed her pick of spaceport, but that was how it was going to be arranged. Far away from all the noise, all the many people. Much too big a hassle. If they would have to deal with fans and whatnot, they'd never get off the planet in good time.
Oh no, that simply wouldn't have done at all.
She looked down at her tablet, frowning a little as she checked the time, before resuming her indifferent watch over the port, endlessly straightening her obi. The rest of her outfit was, of course, immaculate; Black skirt, white, short kimono and a matching, very sheer haori. But the obi was stubbornly refusing to fall in line today.
She huffed slightly, wondering when anyone of her appointees were going to appear.
The schedule, after all, had to be adhered to.

As soon as Artisan's Den was docked Kigura-san showed up in his polished armor and all, for instructions. Yozhiko informed him that she did not need something. Knowing he would want to check the spaceport anyways, she suggested that he go out and look for their guests, which the Doji found agreeable. When he was gone she texted Biru inquiring where whe could find him.
She was chilling in the smoking room enjoyed one of the new strains her dad had sent recently. She was dressed casually in a loose grey hakama and a black top.

Biru's head popped out of a maintenance hatch in the ceiling, "Yozhiko-chan did you need me?" A moment later he loses his grip and with a umph lands on the floor below in front of her, "Stupid magnetic strips always give out under normal gravity..." He hops up to his feet, dusting himself off, "Sorry was checking my light rig in case there is some vent based shenigans when I'm streaming."
He blinks at the flashing light on his arm, "By the kami! Yozhiko-chan we have to go! Miumi-san will give me that look if we are late!"

Tamiyo entered the lounge looking around for her handmaiden. Ah! There she is!! Smiling brightly she rushed over waving enthusiasticaly.
"Saikin dō, Miumi-chan!" She's holding some shopping bags. "I found some absolutely lovely things!" She digs up an obi. "Look!! It has a cat paw print!! Isn't that adorable!?"
She looks around again.
"Our ride hasn't arrived yet? I'm actually on time?" She seems amazed by that.

Inside the Artisan's Den Yozhiko laughed at the comical entry of Biru.
"Are you hurt?" She asked once she stopped laughing.
"Do not worry about Miumi-san. If I know well Tamiyo-san, she will be late and I have already sent Kigura-san to find the Dove and bring her over. He wanted to go out in the spaceport anyways. I find them boring. I have a live feed from the ship's entrance in this monitor, we will know when they arrive.
In the lounge of the spaceport. It took longer for Kigura to pass the checks the Lion required from him. They actually asked him to procure documents for all his guns. When he finally entered the lounge he was a little frustrated. His frustration grew more when he spotted the Ikoma celebrity next to the Dove.
Freaking glorified tax collectors!!!
Exasperated that he would not have time to walk around the place he approached the duo and respectively bowed.
"Ikoma-san, Heiwa-san, forgive me for my tardiness. I failed to take into account the time I would need for checks that in my experience take shorter that they did today. The Artisan's Den is already docked and if you do not mind I am to escort you to it."

He chuckles and runs a hand through his hair, "Oh good. Honestly she's a nice lady, but its like the whole weight of the imperial bureaucracy lives in her datapad!" He finally relaxes and waves a hand in front of his face, "Goodness.That smells strong, are you gonna be alright to stand?"

Miumi looked up as Tamiyo called out for her, wearing a rather telling look of a complete lack of comprehension.
"Very lovely, Ikoma-san," she says, rebalancing her glasses on her nose, clearly trying very hard to seem interested. "It will really stand out among the many other ones, I'm sure." She stands up, once again trying to even out some crease in her own obi.
"And yes, you are for once, on time." She looks at the clock again, striking a slightly impatient pose. "One does not leave a Clan Champion waiting, so serendipitous indeed." She moves as if to continue on some tangent, but interrupts herself as the Doji enters, looking unimpressed with his excuse.
"Still on time, I calculate," she deadpans, somehow looking down her nose at someone taller than her. "Though I advise you to always schedule extra time when in unknown havens." She nods sagely at her own advice, only now bowing as a greeting. "Heiwa Miumi, of the Dove. And Ikoma Tamiyo-san, of the Lion. I have had time to arrange for our things to be brought on board, the staff just needs to know which ship. Everything should be ready for departure as soon as everyone would like."
She starts out of the lounge at a speed no one else would ever find quick enough. "I do think Doji-san is better equipped to inform the porters of that," she says over her shoulder. "I shall look forward to speaking more on the ship."
With that, she continues on, slow enough for Tamiyo to catch her, but fast enough to not hear any reply as she makes her way to the vessel.

Inside the Artisan's Den
"Let me check" she replied as she tried to get up.
"I think I can stand up" she said as she sat down again. "It has a rather strong odour though indeed. Not sure what dad was trying to achieve with that. As about our Dove soon to be guest, I think she has a personality disorder or something. People are not supposed to be like that. I did not know that you guys have met. Should I worry?" she teased.
In the lounge of the spaceport.
Kigura cocked his head with amusement as the two ladies left him behind.
Was I just talked down by a minor clan samurai? ... At least I get more time to look around.
He shrugged and moved to locate the porters, taking his time to notice the security details.

He crosses his arms across his chest, "She is a pretty lady I suppose. But you know dang well if not for my accident you would have had to club me over the head and dodge my security to get my attention." He chuckles, "I was so into making every episode the network hired a PA that made sure I ate. Still not sure if he was my PA or the directors."

With a smirk and a little wave to the Crane she catches up to her killjoy handmaiden. Well, other Clans might describe Miumi as her personal assistant, but hey, she was a Lion, and if handmaidens were good enough for the ancestors, than by Amaterasu, they are good enough for the living!
Tamiyo follows wordlessly for a few moments. "Miumi-chan, remember, this is a vital mission, and we will have to work with these people for an extended time. They won't be staff, like on tour, who you can boss about. So, you know, don't! Oh, and try smiling! Like this!"
Tamiyo demonstrates her patented high-wattage bright smile.
"Always effective! Now you try!"

Yozhiko sipped a good one from her pipe and shrugged.
"Biru-kun you certainly have your way with women."
Motion caught her eye on the monitor.
"Our guests are here. Let's go to the entrance and welcome them."
She said as she put the pipe on the low table and got up.
See I can even walk in straight lines.
[OOC: She was not smoking drugs in this scene, just some homegrown, genetically modified tobacco or something equivalent.]

He pouts a tiny bit, "I am perfectly cordial to all men and women well within societal norms in all but the Spider clan."
He nods and moves to walk with her, "Either way all this star power on one ship might generate quiet the rumors on message boards. Musician Yozhiko forms harem, uses former kids TV host as cover."
He chuckles, "Mother-in-law would have to fool who wrote it hanging by his toenails in days. OH!"
He taps at his wrist and a small drone pops up from it and points towards his face with a soft light, "Reminder number 234. Send we are okay videos to the family. End.

Miumi glances aside at Tamiyo, returning the smile. Or, that is to say, a corner of her mouth moves slightly upwards in somewhat more of a haughty smirk. It's the best she can do, She's new to this.
"Staff or not. Schedules are there for keeping, Ikoma-san." She stops outside the ship. "Asides, I cannot do their ship's preparations for departure. He would have to do stuff regardless. Free time has been scheduled for after unpacking on the ship, so I shall make pleasantries then."
She frowns at the crease in her obi. "Or fix this mess," she adds under her breath, before knocking on the door.

She looks around. "Errr, you know where we're going? Forgot to check which gate is ours..."

Is he doing it on purpose?
"No pun intended honey, but I am pretty sure that anything can be hidden behind Tamiyo-san and you. But seriously, stop talking about my mother. She creates strong emotions in me and I do not do strong emotions." Once they reached the ship's entrance she opened the gate and leisurely awaited for their guests.
