Seo smiled politely as Xiong spoke, nodding at appropriate intervals. The monk took note of the very familiar beats that peeked through from up the man’s sleeve.
“I appreciate your kindness Xiong, but I should like to continue on my journey for just a bit longer before I bed down for the night. I simply came in to enjoy a bowl of rice and some interesting conversation.” The monk said, turning down Xiong’s offer of a free room for the night.
Seo was no stranger to accepting the kindness of strangers and fellow believers; in fact his pilgrimage would almost require that the rely on people like Xiong as he was only given a small stipend for living expenses as he left the temple his order called home. But, as much as he would rely on the kindness of others, he did not intent to impose upon anyone’s business, and certainly not if he could continue on and make more progress before dark.
At Ketsueki’s mention of the treatment and accommodations she’d received, Seo would look back to Xiong and Xiu.
“No, I am perfectly cared for at this moment. Thank you both for your hospitality.”

The junior officer who was clad in the robes of the Hizashi clan, Sou Yasuke, walked into the tea house as he adjusted his robes accordingly and looked around though the sight disappointed him. It had nothing to do with what the establishment contained but rather what it lacked.
"They haven't shown up yet? They pick a place like this and then they are late?" Sou mumbled to himself as he sighed and proceeded inside disappointed that his associates hadn't turned up yet. Sou Yasuke was familiar with the reputation this place carried for being more than a place for tea and more than a place for hard working men to go meet smiling ladies. But right now Sou Yasuke wasn't in the mood for either and as he had a seat he asked only for a pipe to help him relax. He didn't know what had made him this anxious as the meeting was a formality as always, but something in the back of his head told him it couldn't continue like this forever. 'Even the wisest man leaves patterns - and patterns could be followed' he thought as he felt his robe and the papers he had hidden inside and calmed his heart with a puff on the pipe.

Xiong pulled back his sleeve revealing his own worn beads, "I insist my brother. The road can be treacherous for a monk. We have private room, even a shrine if you so fancy." He bowed his head again " If you want it, let either Xiu or I know and you will have it and food." He smiled politely and bowed pivoting his foot into a turn and heading in a different direction, but not before eyeing the woman with him once more. He would walk away saying hello to various customers. Occasionally a man or woman would approach him with a scroll he would read it and whisper something, sending them away.
While walking past a table he noticed an officer of the Hizashi clan looking around, perhaps looking for someone? Xiong approached him slowly, "Are you meeting someone here sir? Or are you just nervous at the sight of all the beautiful women and men here?" Xiong laughed. He bowed slightly "Xiong Shuren, purveyor of this fine establishment."

She was a little relieved to see Xiong and Xiu go. It was fewer people to deal with, provided there weren't so many people passing by. But the place was humming with activity, though not quite as loud as a busy establishment would normally be. Her gaze glanced over a few patrons... including the desert dweller and the female that had stripped herself down for him - her eyes squeezed painfully shut for a moment before she turned her attention back to her table, taking up the sake and drinking it to settle her nerves.
It took a minute to try and settle back into something neutral of an expression and tone before she focused on the monk across the table. "An odd place to meet a fellow monk?" she inquires, more asking if Xiong was really one. A monk, running a brothel... that didn't sit right with her so much.

Xiu would soon arrive with a pipe for on a small golden platter and the means to light it along with it. She would smile to Yasuke as she placed it down in front of him, the ornaments in her hair chiming softly "Are you sure you would like nothing to drink Sir?" She would ask in a friendly voice.
It was then that Xiong would arrive at the table to greet the customer herself and she would stand by his side, giving them space to talk.

"Hmm..." Sou murmured as he lit the pipe the lovely lady had brought him and tried to remember if he had seen her before or not. "I'm good." Sou said habitually though looking around again only to confirm his associates weren't here yet, he promptly changed his mind. "Well... a bit of sake can't hurt." he said as he returned to his own thoughts for a bit before a rather tall man approached Sou and introduced himself. Sou had definitely seen this guy before, and even before he introduced himself, he new who he was.
"It is the first time you approach me directly - but then again I haven't been here by myself before so I suppose you are right in your assessment." he said with a wry smile and took another puff on his pipe quite enjoying this man's humorous taunts. "You certainly do have a fine sense of... decoration." Sou said and chuckled slightly as he quickly glanced at the girl bringing him the pipe. "But I'm not here for that kind of attention tonight. Perhaps you can tell me if three guys of - let's just say questionable appearance and rather brutish manners - have come by shortly before I arrived? Maybe they have found means to pass the time?" he asked as he returned to a rather concerned expression.

Xiong gave a look at Xiu, and nodded towards the back. He smiled again widely now looking at the man, "Follow Xiu, she will show you to your friends." He nodded casting a glance at the muscular man, He nods and goes into the back room. Xiong bowed and headed to a different room.

Chen-HuaThe dunelander made an innocent smile. So much demand for his attention, she was trying very hard to get him to break. Would it be considered rude or foolish to still with hold? Had he refused enough to show that he was not easily swane by beauty? He had found a soft spot for the woman who he'd just met , cut from like cloth yet the patterns they wore vastly diffrent... He was likely more than fond of her... Though he had not considered such a thing in a very long time... Maybe it was just the restlessness of flesh clouding his judgement. Like thirst tempted a man to drink from a poisoned well.... " You've shifted again, now I'll have to start again." He purred, moving over to the other page to sketch her face up close as it was... " Don't move." He whispered. " Or I'll have to go get more paper..." The tone suggested he had already planned on getting "more paper" by the end of the evening.

Sou's eyes dotted around the room quickly as a bad premonition crept up on him. It wasn't like them to take extra precaution and Sou wondered why they couldn't just meet him here. "It seems the sake will have to wait then..." he said with a smirk to hide his skepticism as he got up and followed the girl into one of the adjacent rooms - halfway prepared for a trap. But he still held a small hope that behind the door his friends would wait and somehow this would resolve itself quickly so he could go back without drawing too much attention due to being late.

Xiu would bow to him before they would walk off, still wearing a gentle smile on her face. While they were walking she would grab one of the warm vials of sake from the counter, even though Sou had said the sake would wait. They would go up a set of stairs before eventually stopping before a wooden door. She would open it and gently push him inside. He would soon notice that the room was empty of people, but by then the door would be closed behind them. Xiu would not at all appear threatening and as far as Sou could tell she was carrying no weapons.
"Please sit down, Sou Yasuke." she would say, leaving him to wonder where she had learned his full name. The room was pretty small with walls that were decorated in gold and red. In the middle of it stood a single table with a chair on both sides. He would be asked to take his seat on one of them, only a teapot and a few cups standing on it.
"I know this must be very distressing for you, but I can assure you that I am not here to harm you in anyway. We should both be able to benefit from this meeting." she would finally leave the door, leaving him the option to run if he wanted to, but hoping he would stay. She would place the sake in front of him together with a small cup so he could drink if he felt the need. She knew some men drew courage out of their liquor. She then took a seat herself.
"We have noticed lately that your activities within our establishment have been of a rather strange nature. You claim to be a guard of the Hizashi Mansion and so you are, but not a faithful one. It is a very dangerous business to sell the secrets of such a big clan." she paused a moment and poured herself a cup of tea from the teapot. "My best guess is that you are in the need of gold. And your bandit friends were able to offer you such gold."
She would now start to look him directly in the eyes, something she hadn't done before. "Your friends were untrustworthy, they talked about talking about you out and taking the gold for your capture. You would have been called a traitor and your death would surely have been a painful one. However, we took care of your 'friends'. Instead of talking about you, we talked about them. They are probably in Hizashi custody by now, awaiting sentencing. In a way, you could say we saved your life."
"So in return for that life saved, we want you to continue your spying within the Hizashi Mansion. But now you will spy for us. You see this brothel is not just a brothel, or just a teahouse. We buy and sell secrets to the person who might give the most gold for it. No matter what you think, men tend to talk when they are happy or in their drinks. If you choose to cooperate with us and work for us, I will make sure that the gold you earn will be greater than the bandits ever gave you. You will get money according to the value of the secret. So the bigger the secret is, the more you will receive."
Her harsh expression would soften a bit again now that she explained why he was here and she smiled once more. "Do you understand so far? Sou-san?"

She giggled as he turned the page, somehow having ruined his little artwork pleased her. If anything it meant he would need to stay around longer here with her. "I remember somebody telling me not to pose. So I thought I didn't need to sit still," she answered as she smiled at him. "But if it what you want from me, I will stay still," she said as she kept her face close o his as she had when she had whispered. Her hair would finally settle around her and she would just shift from being on her knees to sitting down on them. Bringing her body even more in view, even if a part was covered by her long thick hair.
She liked playing this game, seeing how long it would take him before desire would take over his mind. It had been a long while since she had been able to play it, most men who came here were clear on what they wanted and didn't play around it. But with Tam, she felt like a huntress. Showing him more and more of herself until he would be too tempted not to take the bait. He was handsome after all, and different. He had looked at her as a human being with compassion for her story, now it was time for him to look at her like a woman.

Sou's skepticism didn't wane as she gently pushed him into the room first. He gave her a sidelong stare akin to those he would give a shady merchant offering him a price that was too good to be true, but found nothing in her expression to give away ill intent. Sou's surprise was big as he entered the room and found the neither of his assumptions came to be true. No one was jumping him and none of his accomplices were waiting for him inside. Instead Sou promptly turned to the girl with a mean expression and a threatening posture. "What is the meaning of this!" Sou said as to intimidate the young woman into spilling the beans quickly. It was a tactic that had usually served him well even against opponents much bigger than himself, but this young woman showed no immediate sign of fear and when she called his name, for a moment his fighting spirit dropped and he felt like his head was spinning. How did she know his name? Sou exhaled loudly and found no other way than to get info from her than to oblige - for now. Either way causing a ruckus inside this place probably wouldn't serve his interests right now.
"Of course I'm distressed!" Sou said and crossed his arms. "You seem to know my name, lie about my accomplices and... and I don't even know your name yet!" Sou said as he had intended to list all her wrongdoings but had to stop short early. He wasn't one with words though he liked to think he was a cut above such proletarians as his accomplices and tried hard to show it people. "But sure... let me here what you have to say." Sou said and appeared unwilling, though he was eager to finally solve this mystery. "Only thing good of mutual benefit she's done yet is to bring me the damn bottle of sake..." Sou mumbled to himself thinking there might be enough in there to calm his frustrations for now.
Sou jumped a little as she mentioned him being a Hizashi guard and that they considered him to be disloyal. His thoughts were many and among the few was showing her away and making a run for it. If he didn't hear what she had to say, they couldn't blackmail him. But he decided to hear the story to the end anyway, though it was clear to me that these girls had sharper ears than he could have possibly imagined.
What came immediately after was by no means pleasant words to Sou, and her eyes seemed to bore into his as he listened to her talking about his friends and how they would have snitched on him. This angered Sou as he could easily imagine them doing just that and even had suspicions at times - most likely because he might have done it himself if he was in their shoes. "I'm not sure this is good news..." Sou replied. "What happens when they are questioned by the Hizashi guys huh? Seeing as they have nothing to lose, my name will come over their lips faster than spit on a beggar!" Sou said frustrated as he swallowed the last bit of sake in his cup letting her continue her speech.
"You're crafty aren't you?" he said and returned a harsh glance. "Maybe I will... Now you've removed my former partners you might fill a gap there. But as I said I'm not sure they haven't snitched on me already, and I would probably be a fool to go back to Hizashi mansion now making it impossible to retrieve any kind of valuable information." he said and sighed. "But you seem sure of this and I can't say it doesn't sound tempting if it can work out. Dealing with those guys were more of a necessity than a pleasure and you've already showed me more cunning than they were able to amount in a life time... I just hope I won't be a pawn in some greater play." he said and studied her facial expression. It had softened up and as such Sou allowed himself to do say also. "Okay, maybe we should talk about what kind of secrets you guys appreciate the most then?" he said with a wry smile, finding that perhaps his curiosity had already given the young woman in front of him the answer she wanted to hear.

Xiu would remain calm and professional throughout the entire conversation. She didn't seem alarmed by his distress, to her it was a very common thing she would go through anytime she would recruit. She tended to do it instead of Xiu because men seemed to find it harder to pick a fight against her. Though there had been many who had chosen to walk out the door instead of hearing her out. She was happy to notice that Sou was choosing for the option to stay.
When Sou finally calmed down and decided to give her offer a good thought she would repour his cup of sake, that he sure had emptied by now. "You don't need to worry about your old friends talking, we made sure they can't," she said as she was pouring, it was clear she it was not her intention to tell him about their methods as she didn't give him time to reply. "It would have been just as disappointing for us as it would have been for you, were you not able to return to your duties with the Hizashi Clan." she smiled once again, thought this smile seemed a little less genuine than her first ones.
"The kind of secrets we want from you are the kind that is only obtained through the inside. I am sure your old friends mostly just wished to know where the Hizashi operated and where their armies were. We also would like this information but it is not the information that will get you the most gold. We want to hear about things like engages, private conversations about wars and suspicion to other clans, illnesses, anything that people on the outside of the mansion would never get to learn. Even maps or a list of people who work there could be of importance to us." She sat back once more and picked up her own tea cup to take a few sips of the warm liquid.
"I know this might seem very sudden and unrealistic to you, but we care a lot about the people we recruit. Everyone you will find working in this building has once been hurt or betrayed by the ones they thought they could trust or they wished to trust. In your case you were betrayed by your bandit friends. You won't need to worry about being found out from our perspective. If we get caught, only the girls that are in the establishment will be caught with us. They will find no mention of your name in any of our documentation, neither will any of us talk about you no matter what torture we might go through. It a code we all follow and a code we have needed to use before. All you need to make sure is that the Hizashi Clan won't find out that your patron ship here is not just about earning favors of the girls."

She was still acting almost emotionless as she poured him another cup of sake he quickly took a sip of. "Wh-what..?" he said and almost spat of his sake. "You made sure they didn't talk? Who are you guys exactly?" Sou Yasuke asked and frowned though his surprise was quickly replaced with relief as he took a sip more. "Well... it is impressive nonetheless." Yasuke said is it seemed she wasn't going to disclose what had happened to them more precisely. "You seemed to have swept the floor for any obstacle real thoroughly, so I suppose there's no backing out now." he said and smirked.
"Well... look..!" he said and threw out his arms. "I don't exactly work like you! I need to get a lot closer to some really important and dangerous people if those are the secrets you want the most. They are like... the best kept ones!" he said indignant and shrugged. "But yeah... I'll come up with something, I just ain't the type to listen to gossip through the doors or things like that..." he said and continued to listen to her. "Betrayed... yeah I suppose that was just a matter of time, I would hardly say it hurt me. Well at least it could have physically and I'm indebted to you and all but I'm probably not like you though." he said and stared down into the floor. He was hurt yeah, but he wasn't going to let anyone know exactly how or why he had been hurt. "I'm happy you feel that way though. I won't let my cover slide, but in the end it would be bad if they even knew I was in here at all. A junior samurai as me is expected to act a bit differently. Well of course none of them are saints, but they sure like to point fingers so they appear better themselves hehe..." Yasuke laughed to himself as he thought he might actually already have a few secrets to dish out. "I think it's a deal. Well on the condition you at least tell me your name." Yasuke said and got up, preparing a formal bow if they were to agree.

Chen-Hua" That I did, but holding still and posing are diffrent as the sun and moon." The bronzed man suggested, having skillfully captured the naughty smile Chen wore on paper. Regal would like that one. The Dunelander shifted away from Chen, more to get comfortable than anything. He simply shifted so that he was laying on his side, propping him self up with an elbow as he drew, he gazed at her pale form, and only gave a smile , to everyone else in the room it may have been just a smile, But He knew Chen would see it for what it was. A defiant smirk. Try as she would, she would not bend him to her will so easily. All the flesh in the world wouldn't change that--- but he was rather thankful for the lose fitting, but heavy, trousers the As'deen were partial too. " Tell me more of yourself Chen." He said looking back at his work for a moment.

She giggled again, deciding, for now, she would listen to him and sit still where she was. At least until he finished his drawing. She was quite comfortable after all. Her eyes would shift lightly over his body as he shifted his own. She was about to make a comment about how he should sit still as well as she didn't like him moving away, but soon noticed something that made her bite her lip instead. Deciding it was fine the way it was.
"What do you wish to know? I am afraid you have already heard the most interesting story about me. I could tell you how good I am with handling a sword or how I spend most of my morning training my muscles so I stay lean and fit. But though those stories might have their own purpose, I don't think they would be that interesting for you." she smiled at him.

Xiu would smile at him and gave a giggle as he objected to him not being close enough to anyone. "Then it is your job to get closer. Work your way up in their ranks. I told you I would pay for the secrets, so find a way to obtain them, or there will be no gold." she still smiled.
"My name is no secret, Sou Yasuke. It is Xiu Zheng." she took another sip of her tea. "Now that we have ourselves a deal I will explain to you how it works. You see, we run a brothel and a tea house. Except for me all the girls do favors to the men. It would be weird if I was the only one who didn't do it." she paused enjoying the scent of her tea. "Whenever you have a secret you wish to sell me, come by the brothel. Talk to me behind the counter and we will go to a private room. Other patrons in the establishment will just think I favor you and we are going to the back for entertainment. The men here think I am very exclusive, that I pick my own patrons. We are happy to let them think that. I will hear you out on what you have to say and then you will earn gold for the value of the secret. Is that clear?"
In case he would agree and say it was clear she would get up from the table. "Xoing will wish to you before you leave. I promise it won't take long." She would get up and walk towards the door, motioning him to follow.

Yasuke listened intently at Xiu's explanation and only got confirmed that these people had it figured out and nodded along the way to let her know that he had understood. "Sure, that sounds like a plan." he said shrugged his shoulders, thinking there wasn't much to be clear about though. Even his former accomplices would be able to understand what was the deal.
"The big man? Well I'll go to his office so he can approve of his investment." Yasuke said, trying to feign a bit of bravado and extra toughness. Whatever the intent of that Xiong guy it was probably just a formality, Yasuke thought and followed Xiu to where ever she lead him.

Chen-Hua" The most interesting stories are the ones yet to be written." Tam said in that tone folk used when quoting scripture. " I find you interesting. Chen-Hua. " He explained, though a crinkle of an amused smile could be heard in his voice catching her biting her lip. And here he had done nothing more than Sprawl. She would have to be taught the other half of the game they played... Which meant he could not give in. Shame... His mind had already wandered in that direction, planing the event even... Firm hands working flesh like clay... He sighed a bit, and moved to pour more tea. His tattoo'ed eyes darted after an official man as he moved away from the main house ; Xiu did not seem to be the type to serve men... A puzzled expression moved over his face as he sipped on the tea carefully... "What sort of tea is this?" He asked directing his gaze back at his friend.

"Then follow me." she would say and they would leave the small empty room behind them again. She would lead him down the hallway till the very end of it, there she would knock on the door and open in after. She knew Xiong was expecting her.
"Please, come inside and take a seat." she would say and let Yasuke go inside first. The room he was lead into was much bigger than the one he had been at before. The walls were richly decorated and a beautiful colored rug decorated the floor. It showed the riches of the brothel perfectly and was exactly like one would expect a brothel owner to like their room.
"He has agreed to our terms, Zhu."
