Okane watched through the window of the enclosed wagon he was seated in as it passed along the canyon with sheer walls on either side. A narrow road barely wide enough for perhaps three wagons to get through. He supposed this was to be expected. After all a hidden village would want some easily defensible spot against foreign attacks. Or domestic for that matter. His jade like eyes scanned up as high as he could for a moment. Surely there were shinobi watching him even now. Though he only spotted the one who checked his papers near the entrance. Of course he was allowed passage. He had a scheduled meeting with the village leader later. Some Kage of some sort or another...what was it? Oh right...the great lord Kazekage. A ninja that supposedly stood stronger than the rest. Not that Okane really had any strength himself. He was never shinobi trained. Educated in Fuinjutsu but just the same as the rest of his extensive education. He would take a deep breath before sitting back in his seat. His right hand tapping on the window sill.
The carriage itself was rather gaudy. Led by a team of two pearl white horses. Stallions pulling an equally pearl white wagon with silver trim. The interior was a red velvet. Purple curtains hiding the inner contents. Okane was more of a fan of darker colors but the heat here seemed to become absorbed by those. Even now he felt the warmth was stifling. His family business was closer to the coast and the ocean cooled the air considerably there. Moisture at least that he could feel. Here it was like all the water was drained from the air itself and people went here to suffer. Oh how he hated suffering. Okane himself was dressed in a more simple color scheme. His dark pants were tucked into shined boots. Over that he was wearing crossed leather belts with one gold clip and one silver clip. A simple white button up with a silver colored tie was held down by a green vest. Checkered with lighter and darker green colors. His coat was bone white with snow white fur around the shoulders and neck while around his temples hung a circlet with two small onyx horns protruding from either temple of the circlet. Not his actual forehead. He didn't actually consider himself like those wretches. Demon spawn.
Progress through the village was slow. Many people about their business but prosperity wasn't a word he would use to describe it. His passage drew almost desperate eyes but he avoided making eye contact all the same. If the meeting went well this wouldn't be the case for long. A sly smile painted across his pale lips as the carriage pulled up in front of the administration building. If all went well the village under his influence would gain for more than simple prosperity. He intended to make this place a veritable garden of eden. He would step out of the cart and collect a cane. A simple glossy black shaft with a silver eagle at the top with a red jewel in its mouth. Okane would move from the sandy streets as his driver kept to the horses. Allowing himself into the administration building Okane would certainly stand out. He would stride with purpose to the front desk. Luckily there was no line. He would clear his throat. Wishing he had been offered some water but choosing not to bring it up. Instead he would speak in a gentle voice to the attendant there.
"Pardon my intrusion. I wouldn't normally dare to interrupt anything someone as beautiful as you would be doing. However I, Tomi Okane happen to have an appointment with the lord Kage today. Is there somewhere I should wait for them to be ready for me?"
