As one would enter the establishment, people would find them greeted by all sorts of girls, all giddy and giggling around them and scarcely dressed. Only when they looked further they would see Xiu standing behind one of the desks, pouring drinks for some of the guests.
She was a skinny girl with a very small frame, making her look fragile. Her eyes would look towards the glasses always and only look up when someone got close to her. She was more dressed than the other girls but wore many golden pieces of jewelry that decorated her sleeves, hair and neck. Especially her necklace stood out, a golden dragon that was biting its own tail as it curled around her. It had been a gift from Xiong and often she would be found fidgeting with it.
Someone might think she was just a shy girl, others might think she was very insecure about herself and others might think she was just putting up an act to make her stand out from the others in the establishment. But only a few knew her true purpose within the establishment and only those she would speak to freely.

Xiong sat in a back room strumming his fingers against a mahogany table. His office was well made. Wall to ceiling books on the left. The walls black and red with golden accents. Characters on the wall in another language.
He sighs deeply then. Slams his hand on the desk grunts getting up from his chair. He walked across the room tracing his fingers on a sword inside of a case, next to it a Kabuki mask. On the walls are chinese demons. He pushed open a panel on the wall sliding it open.
He then walked out of the "Storage room" He placed a hand on the cheek of one of his girls and smiled sweetly. Her eyes brighter as he walked past. He weaved through his patrons that all greeted him with cheers. He smiled and approached Xiu.
He placed his hand gently on her shoulder. He smiled sweetly "Hello my dear, Huā." He moved his thumb just enough to caress her for a sec, he then turned and leaned against the wall. "Does this make you uncomfortable, huā?"

Xiu would look up as Xiong walked into the main area, putting down the glass that she was washing up. When he caressed her cheek she would smile lightly, though Xiong would know it was just a smile to make him feel better. Her true smiled were rare and usually very short, though Xiong seemed to be the one drawing them out the most. This wasn't the place for him to truly make her smile.
"I had a bad night, Zhu." she said, looking up into his eyes with that always lasting sadness that she often wore. "I will be fine again tomorrow."

Xiong smiled sadly, putting his hand on her shoulder. "I didn't know what they were planning, Huā. I wish I'd have known. This place.. It's change my dear." He pointed at a bottle of a spiced wine from a region dominated by water "You don't have to stay here, Huā. Not saying I want you to gooo." He looked down a bit, "But sometimes I wonder if I keep you here against your will."

She would again flash him a smile while taking the bottle that he was pointing at. She opened it and would pour a glass for him and hand it over. "I have everything I need here Zhu, there is no reason for me to leave."
And that was the truth for her. She wouldn't know where else to go and considering everything, she felt happy where she was. He didn't hurt her, nobody did here. If anything he was way to gentle with her. Some days she would feel bad that she couldn't be a happier girl for him, that she couldn't do anything about the worried smiles he would give her. And for that, she would stay by his side, until a day that maybe she could.

He took another glass and slid it towards her, his other hand took the full glass, took a gulp. He scooted closer nudging her a bit "You know. You hang around me long enough people may talk, Měilì de huā." He laughed looking at the ground. "I hate how we had to leave."

She took the glass hestiating a little before pouring herself a bit of the wine as well. She would take a carefull sip. She couldn't say that she enjoyed the taste of it, but he was right to sometimes ask her to drink, it helped ease her mind and calm her down. To make her inner demons lay to rest even if it was for just a few minutes.
"I think I like it better that we left. Even if our departure wasn't that great Zhu. At least they won't find me here." she would stare at her glass, swirling the redish liquid around inside of it and losing herself in the rythum of it.

He took her hand and patted it with his other hand. His voice became somber,his eyes soft "We have lived hard lives, Měilì de huā." He sighed sadly, "I hope you find peace." His mood changed as he took another drink of his wine. "So how are we doing today?"

She took another sip, trying not to let her face give awat how much she disliked the taste and would give Xiong another smile.
"It is very calm today. Only a few or ours girl are taken and the rest are taking it easy for the day. There is one customer however, a plump noble of one of the bigger houses. I send him in with Hui-fang. If anyone can draw some secrets from his lips, it is her. He seemed to have taken a liking." She told him, sounding a lot more confortable now she could talk about business instead of herself.

Xiong nodded looking at the wine swirling it in the glass. "If anyone can get information it's her." He laughed finishing off his wine, putting it on the counter. "It's been 4 years since we came here. I'm surprised that no one shut us down." He shrugged, "Managed to stay off their bad side I suppose."

Xiu would take his glass from him and fill it for him again. She knew he liked his glass filled, and even if he decided not to drink it, nobody would blame him for it. Her own glass was still mainly full.
"It has been weird staying in one place for so long, Zhu." she said and she meant it. For the last 4 years she had been sleeping in the same room and waking up in the same bed. No longer did she need to wait and see where they would sleep that night, her bed was always there, waiting for her. "We should be careful though if people find out we aren't just a brothel." she bit her lip.

Xiong took his glass back, taking a little sip this time. He nodded, looking at his patrons. "Most of them aren't even noble, just regulars. " he shrugged " The lot of our customers are too heavy in their drink to even notice. "

She knew he was right, but the fear of discovery had not left her yet. "It only takes one person, Zhu." she said with a smile. She didn't want to discourage him, she knew that he was good at what he did. And if anything knew if the benefits outweighed the risk is was Xiong. Though sometimes a thought fluttered around in her head saying he just liked the thrill. Just as he had liked the thrill when he had saved her.

A quaint little place. Curiosity brought the young woman to the establishment, dressed in a simply white kimono adorn in threads with a bright sheen and woven into a pattern of flowers that lit up when the lights reflected off of them - almost invisible otherwise. A silken sash was loosely wrapped about her head and her dark hair, which had been neatly pinned atop her head, obscuring a bit of her face but not much. She would enter the tea house and let her eyes wander, trying to get a read on those in view.

Xiong flashed her an evil grin, followed by a playful wink. "Oh you know I love a good game of cat and mouse my Měilì de huā ." He nudged playfully. As he scanned over the crowd someone new caught his eye, he leaned in close and in another language whispered something to You, nodding his head at the new comer by the door, "Let's look from the noble area on the second floor." He nodded and headed upstairs.

She would watch his back as he turned around and went up the steps. Instead of following him she would turn towards the entrance and walk to the woman.
A smile was on her face, she was dressed in a silken garb with golden jewels in her hair and on her arms. Her hair is a very high ponytail and then split into more sections along the bottom.
"Good day, my lady. What would bring you to our fine establishment?" Her voice was thick with an accent even though she was speaking in the Tawakoshian language.

Sharp green eyes watched a female approach - possibly a dancer for the establishment, though the male that was leaving her company was a bit more interesting. Granted, it was more of cautious curiosity than some pressing need to know; she dismissed the thought. Upon being greeted, the woman bent easily at the waist in a polite, formal bow to the girl before righting herself and looking her in the eye. Fortunately the languages of Tawakoshi and Katashima were similar enough that there wasn't too much of a barrier between them.
"Traveling, and this seemed like a quiet place for refreshment," she replied, allowing her eyes to sweep about once more. "Might I be correct in assuming?"

Xiong now stood over the main area. Another woman brought him glass.of his wine, he nodded and smiled saying a thank you in her ear. His gaze never leaving the newcomer. The light of the chandelier hit his eyes making them shine a brilliant tone of good, almost sparkling in the light. He sipped at his drink, cupping his golden chalice with both hands. On occasion different woman, and men, approached him whispering in his ear, he'd nod and they would disappear into the sea of people.

Upon walking into the Tea House, Seo would almost immediately feel out of place, and might have looked it as well. He wore the brown robe top of his order with a bit of bright yellow trim, and baggy pants made of a white cloth (now a bit dingy with age) that were tied close against his ankles with a lacing of string. Seo was greeted at the door by a few of the tea house employees, all of them young females, scantily clad and giggling as they batted their eyes - seeming giddy at his arrival.
Seo made a conscious effort to appear unfazed by the display, though in reality he was actually surprised by the greeting. Given his background as a monk, the man knew the type of goings on in establishments like the one he'd walked into, but seeing it come on so quickly in real life was a different matter altogether.
