Another new arrival

[Wearing a satin red gown that has gold lace trim. She wears a white silk robe over this. Upon her feet are formal shoes. She shouldn't be wearing them because she has been scolded before for doing so (they should only be worn for important occasions) and she was out wearing them while picking tea leaves. In her hand is a basket of the small leaves. Her eyes widen when she realizes she's not where she was anymore.]

H...Hello?

[[OOC: you knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Say hi to G-Switch au-ish Ling Yao]]

[Okay, let's try this again.]

...Hello.

Lost, miss?

I suppose you could say that. This place is..It's not where I was before. I was picking tea leaves in my garden and was about to attend the royal dinner but ended up here.

[She glances at the buildings and suddenly blushes.]

Oh, I apologize! My manners must have slipped me. My name is Ling Yao, Empress of Xing. It's nice to meet you.

[Several things there just make him STOP]

...Ah, yes, it's a pleasure.

My name is Ling Yao, the seventh prince of Xing.

[Well, now she's a bit confused. Perhaps this was all a coincidence? And if having the same name and also having traces of each others looks was indeed one, how awkward would that be? No, there's too many things for it to be a mere coincidence.]

Ling...Seventh prince? How....?

"How?" is a very good question, miss.

[Hand is now pointing to the welcome sign]

This is Central, if you are familiar with Amestris. Many strange things happen here.

[She raises her eyebrows and takes a look at the buildings. Things appear to be familiar and yet at the same time not.]

But this is not the Central I'm used to. This is quite different.

[Interestget]

How so?

[Touches a single finger to her lips and takes another look at the buildings.]

This place feels..Not as advanced as the one I know and..Doesn't look it either. Not to mention the flags are blue instead of green. The vehicles here look old fashioned like something out of a book too. Plus there aren't as many shops around either. Oh! And there's supposed to be a massive three story shopping center over there.

[She explains and points at an empty lot.]

But it isn't.

More advanced...?

[Crosses his arms and thinks]

I see. And Xing? Is it the same way?

[Blushes]

In Xing the elders have refused to make such advances. They believe that a laid back society is better than one with technological chaos. I can't say that I blame them. It's nice to visit Central once in a while but the hustle and bustle of everything, well..Xing is much more peaceful. Very beautiful. We're old fashioned I guess you could say.

[Snorts a little]

The Elder's have always been uptight pricks. Unless they're different in your time. I suppose I'm not surprised to hear all this.

Is Xing divided by clans then? You became the ...Empress by attaining immortality?

Oh..

[She giggles softly and places a hand over her mouth then blushes. She stops and removes her hand from her mouth then shrugs, keeping a smile upon her face.]

Yes they are very stubborn and Xing is not divided by clans. I became the Empress by a strange twist of fate I suppose you could say.

[Suprise, his name is Ling]

Xing isn't? How did you attain the throne, then?

[Sore topic. She casually places her left hand behind her back. Sure she's wearing a cloth bandage to cover up the mark, but she does this out of instinct.]

That is a subject..Perhaps we could save for another time..

[That does not go unnoticed, no it does not. BUT. He'll save it for another time. Still curious though.]

A rain-check then. Ah, but you are Empero-Empress, my apologies. You are the Empress, and this gives me a sense of calm in regards to my own ambitions.
