"Ah, cousins," Tirena smiled, "how fortunate of the both of you to meet."
The smile stayed on her face, yet she spoke in a polite and diplomatic tone, in all seriousness. When it came to Nation matters, Tirena was never went about them lightly. With her mother, the queen, in ill health, someone had to take her place in politics and the likes. "Hm," Tirena tilted her head slightly upwards, "an alliance with the Fire Nation. Indeed, that would be a strong bond to have."
"I appreciate your arrival here today, good Etzolix. Alliance with the Water Nation will be pending until I speak with your King." Tirena nodded towards him once before turning to Etzoyil. "A bond with a nation is always strengthened through their people and customs. Though as for a test, I will leave that strictly up to you, Etzoyil. I'm sure strong warriors such as yourselves will find a way. As for me, I'll make arrangements to speak to my friends in the Fire Nation."
