The Doctor and the Chrysanthemum

[Doc Holliday]

It had been some time since Doc had been on the base of the Blood Dragons. It was more out of respect, really, as he had little business with them through no fault of anyone. But by request, a member of the Golden Chrysanthemums wanted to meet with him. He could only guess why but he figured it would be a personal thank you for rescuing some pilots floating by a jumpgate. Among them were also two Blood Dragon pilots so he didn't figure there to be too many issues. Still, to show respect to his guests, he had a hold full of arms, munitions and some elixers prepared by Med Force Enterprises for their use. That move would prove wise as he docked his ship.

The dockmaster had to guards with him, all three with a stern tone about their faces. "I hope you have good reason to dock here, Gaijen," spoke the dockmaster.
Doc's Kusarian wasn't a strong language for him but he knew enough for mild conversation albeit a heavy accent and somewhat broken. He answered in their language as a show of respect.
"I am here to meet a young Chrysanthemum at her request," he explained. "In my hold are munitions, arms and Med Force Elixers for the Blood Dragons, all for you." He then bowed in respect. The dockmaster inspected, nodded, clapped twice and ordered the ship unloaded.
"Yes," he said to Doc, "you are a man of honor and respect and your arrival was expected. Follow me." He then escorted him to the Kusarian woman standing in the Kimono and left them to their privacy.

It was no secret to many. John Holliday had a preference of Kusari women. Their dress and mannerisms were something that a refined, southern gentleman liked. Despite the beauty of the woman before him, he disapproved of the use of cardamine. He also kept the secret buried of who his daughter was, now a Chrysanthemum herself. Still, the gentleman stood prominent as he greeted her, keeping a couple of feet from her and avoiding bold eye contact for the moment. He knew enough about traditions to know this.
"Konnichiwa, Mariko-san. It is an honor to meet you."
He then gave a bow and then put his hands in front of him.
