OOC: This RP takes place AFTER President Stinson's world tour

IC: It was a beautiful partly cloudy day in Nephi, Lamoni. As was his perogative, President Stinson chose to spend at least part of it exercising outdoors, swimming laps in an excersize pool. Right at the moment, the affairs of state were far from his mind; the only goal that he had was to have fun on this lovely day.

'The government could handle itself for a few hours, couldn't it?,' he thought as he swam. If anything serious happened, Stinson knew that someone would get his attention, but nothing had happened as yet. In the pool with him, his lovely Ixanian wife (Adelaide) was also busy working on her backstroke. Every so often, Andrew would look at his wife's lovely body, and the child that was growing within her. This child hadn't even been born yet, and it had already been in nearly thirty countries. They hadn't let the doctors tell them the gender of their first child, but like certain fathers everywhere, he hoped that his first child would be a boy.

It had been a week since Ambassador McLowry had arrived in Lamoni, and a chaotic week it had been. Between settling into her new home, organizing her staff, and introducing herself to various Lamonian officials; she had little time to think of much else.

With those tasks behind her, the Ambassador felt the time was right to begin the treaty negotiations that had brought her here. With that in mind, she dialed the Lamonian State Department hoping to schedule some face time with President Stinson.

When Ambassador McLowry called the Lamonian Foreign Ministry, she was put through to Foreign Minister Tanya Ley.

"Hello, this is Foreign Minister Ley. May I ask who is calling?"

When the ambassador answered, Tanya got into 'business mode.' "Good morning, Ambassador McLowry, is there something that I can do for you today?"

"Good morning, Madam Minister. Now that I've had an opportunity to get settled into my new office, I would like to get the ball rolling on our free trade and non-aggression treaty negotiations. We've drafted a pair of preliminary rough draft agreements. If at all possible, I would like to have a courier deliver you copies, and schedule a meeting with your representatives to work out the details."

OOC: Since Adelaide is Stinson's secretary, should I be joining this?

OOC: I'll leave that question to Dartia.

OOC: I don't know the circumstances behind someone else playing your president's secretary, but if it is appropriate, then fine with me.

OOC: Adelaide Stinson (beyond being both the Lamonian First Lady and Stinson's secretary) was a Neo-Ixanian citizen who married President Stinson in a competition held for the purpose. That's the gist of it, I can get you the appropriate thread if you want, Dartia.

OOC: ok, works for me.
