AFTERMATH — open, snowbound visit

henri had signed up to the ambassador to the moonlight vale with reckless abandon. he was fucking blind, why did he choose to do it? he had assumed he'd be accompanied by kirishima, but kirishima packed up and left so it was just henri. atbash had asked him to visit, to fulfill his duties, so he did so willingly. he had trekked all this way by himself, and it took him a few days. he had stopped to sleep and eat, but that was it.

when he finally arrived he was tired and uncomfortable from the journey, but wouldn't let it show. no, if he wanted to fit in he'd play his part well. what made the trek so difficult was the fact that with him he had brought gifts in a hand-woven basket. in the basket, there was all sorts of things that henri thought a clan would like- some food and herbs. he took a moment to clear his head, getting in the right frame of mind to communicate. he exhaled, then grinned. "greetings and salutations, moonlight vale! i'm henri, from snowbound. i've brought gifts!" he said, eyes squeezed shut.
