It was a feast of great celebration, one that was held due to the upcoming promotion of the Iroha family into the ranks of the minor clan, a truly great honor. On this day, many men and women were invited to enjoy the hospitality provided by the patriarch and matriarch of the fledgling family, some of them friends of the house, others are bussiness partners, and a few amongst them were guests of honor. Scions of the clans, three of them represented in this party. Crane, Sparrow and Scorpion. An odd mix, one that certainly has some of the guests worried for the crane and scorpions are ever at odds with one another. The same, of course, can be said about most Major clans in relation to one another.<br/><br/>A special room was prepared for the three scions, one located right in front of the zen garden. In this room, the finest food was served. Fish from the nearby river, caught this morning and cooked right as each scion stepped inside the estate. Tea imported from far corners of the empire and even the finest wines in Rokugan. Unlike the other rooms, where a more intimate form of entertainment is provided by some of the most well trained courtesans in the land who uses their talented tongues to pleasure the guests, the main room was attended only by Iroha Yuji and Iroha Akagi, the two leaders of the Family. Fitting, the stature of their guest demands proper protocol be met afterall.<br/><br/>"They are here" Yuji said, his eyes closed.  Next to him, his lovely wife nodded with a smile.
