Yes. I'm an embodiment of Japan. *he really would like to avoid the incredulous looks but oh well.*

An emperor? Or are you... [he trails off, because that's ridiculous. But this place is magic, and gods and spirits are not unheard of...]

O-oh, no. Not as an emperor. I could never rule - *He apparently is used to more archaic things so ... hmm.* I am the representation of the land and the people.

[Save the lack of ruling, that is the role of the emperor. But Xun Yu has the feeling in this case the meaning is meant to be... more literal, rather than metaphorical.]

A god?

Well, I cannot die as long as my culture survives, so in a way, am immortal. However ...

*how should he put this, he has to think about it for a second.* I lack the holiness to be a deity. I'm very much human.

Are immortals not often human? [He seems satisfied, however, that he has his answer.]

... Oh. How right you are. *At least his gods are anyhow.*

In any case, that is what I am. ... Who might you be sir?

I am Xun Yu.

[He salutes the SFC with a pleasant smile, curling one fist and placing his other hand over it, at heart level.]

I have only heard of Wō and its people from historical records. It's quite fascinating to meet yourself!

*By that name and gesture ... He's one of China-san's people. He bows politely back.*

... China-san and I did not have much chance to interact back then. I'm called Japan now, a pleasure Xun-san.

The pleasure is mine, Japan gōng. Please forgive my ignorance; I'm afraid the correct form of respectful address escapes me in this situation.

[There is a polite pause.]

If I may enquire... back then?

Oh yes ...

*he hesitate to collect this thoughts.* When I was little, China-san's people used to call m Wo. Unfortunately I did not know him until later time.

How many years passed before Japan gōng matured?

... It has been a very long time. *He started growing when Heian period ended so...* Over a millenium, I would say.
