One of the Christian priests approached. "Mr. Yoshimura, the Regus will see you now."
Ichiro stood and bowed, thanking the priest for his help. Ichiro approached the door and it opened revealing the woman who had first entered the Regus' office. Ichiro stepped aside, allowing her to pass, and bowed in a greeting before turning to enter the office of the Regus itself.
The man in the room dominated it. The Regus was an intimidating man, a fitful position for a man that had earned the highest rank among the Atharim. Ichiro knew little about Armande Nicodemus, but from what he had seen and heard, the man deserved his title and the respect that came with it.
Ichiro was still trying to figure out what to say as he began his bow - lower than he had for the priest or woman. He stood straight, meeting the Regus' eyes for only a moment. It wasn't polite to look someone in the eyes, but the momentary gaze had almost stared into him. Ichiro could feel the man's power through that gaze.
"Regus-sama,"
Ichiro said, using the honorific for those above his own station. "I bring greetings from brothers and sisters in Japan. Yoshimura Ichiro at your service."
He bowed again as he said it, and straightened himself out as he waited for the Regus to speak.
