Wearing a simple navy suit, Valerio stood in contrast with the more ceremonial outfits that his guests displayed. He briefly froze at the sight of the swords, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled at the two leaders, approaching them along with his translator.
"I take it you are Ambassador Marvrolefterou and you are Ambassador Uchiha?" he said, nodding at each when he said their names "On behalf of His Highness Prince Patrizio and his People I welcome you to the Principality of Sartoria."
He reached out to shake their hands and then turned to Marvrolefterou. "I would certainly appreciate your blessing."
Valerio was not a religious man -religion was rare in Sartoria- but he was well acquainted with the different religions in the world, and understood their importance in diplomacy. He was not, however, naive enough to let people carry weapons inside government buildings.
"Regrettably I will have to ask both your delegations to leave their swords in our custody for the duration of our meeting. I have no doubt on your honesty, but we do have regulations to which we must abide. I hope you understand."
