"Jin Lian Yue," she repeated, yanking a pin out of a dead man and wiping it off. She continued to do the same with her other pin. "And to be quite honest i have no idea as to what is going on. And use me for what?"

"Healing, right? These people were here to attack the Sing. I believe they wanted to show that we can't defend those who join us. Create fear in other tribes so that they won't speak to me. But I would like to think that backfired." He started walking towards the river. "If you want, we're on our way back to the Nu tribe. You're more than welcomed to join."

Ka Shu Fa sheathed her blades and gingerly took up her coat, singing the thick leather outside. She wouldn't be able to wear it for a while but she didn't mind to much. When she turned to see a new, unhostile, person in their midst, she cocked an eyebrow.
"Are we taking her, too?" She asked casually. The woman looked a bit peeved which probably meant she had been talking with Nu Sou; it was a common side-effect of conversing with him.

Sing Shu walked over to Nu Sou and the other girl. "Hi, I'm sorry I couldn't get you first, we were being charged," she told her. "Are we ready to leave?" She asked, she was anxious to get back to her tribe, so that they could know what she did for them.

"Apparently you are," Yue sighed. "I've come to far to just go back without bathing and a change of clothing. Besides, I have a few words to give to a certain someone." Rearranging her hair, she tried dusting her clothing off again, only to fail miserably. "One bath, and clean clothes, and I'll consider an alliance."

"Hell, for that, I'll draw the bath myself!" Fa snorted. She was used to long and unreasonable demands before anyone even sat down to talk about a treaty. This was refreshing to say the least. She turned to Shu, "And don't expect too much from them. This service might only make them fear you more." Fa warned, speaking from personal experience.

They only thing frightful about this man was his lewd behavior. But at least now Yue could hide behind one of the other girls until they all got back to the Nu clan.
"I don't believe I know the two of you," she commented towards the girls. "And I wouldn't dare ask you to draw my bath."

"I am Ka Shu Fa, Advisor to Nu Sou." She said, head held high. Though she did not always get along with Nu Sou, she was still -- more often than not -- proud to be in his service. Besides, he had excepted -- to some degree -- her as both a person and a mystic which was a rare thing indeed.

Nu Sou muttered, "You bathe?" He shrugged as they walked back, and when they arrived at the river, "There's your bath. If you need help, just ask." He smiled, and wiggled his fingers, "Magic hands." He walked off towards the Sing tribe. "One of you two tend to her and make sure she gets back to the tribe." He waved dismissively and headed back to the Sing.

Shu looked at the girl,"I don't know you either, but my name is Sing Shu, of the Sing tribe." She then looked at Fa,"I never said anything about expecting a thing from my tribe," then she stalked off and followed Nu Sou, who was walking back to her tribe.

You didn't have to say it, Sing Shu, it was written on your face. She thought sadly before turning to Yue.
"Jin Lian Yue, correct?" she barely paused, "There is a water mystic around here, so I wouldn't advise getting in that water until we find him and make sure he's well away; for your dignity's sake." She said briskly, "Will you need assistance bathing?" She asked. She had lived long enough with ladies and concubines to know that some women -- apparently -- couldn't bath themselves.

Shu caught up to Nu Sou. "Uh, Nu Sou, sir, what are we going to do, back at Sing Tribe?" She asked him. She looked up at him, he looked really kind, she wasn't sure why Yue or Fa disliked him. ((She wasn't there to see him treat her like a chair.)) "Also, sir, why does Fa and Yue not like you? If you don't mind me asking," she asked him. She wanted to know more about him, she also wanted to learn more about Fa and Yue over time.

"Yes, but please, just call me Yue. Company would be nice if you don't mind," Yue smiled, moving over towards the dubious security of the water. It was muddy and gross. "This place is nothing like Jin Lian. There's a sacred spring the women all bathe in, so it's uncommon for a bath to be taken alone. There's a lot of lotus back home, and the water is always clear." Stripping only the upper layers of her robe, she washed her arms and face. "Is he always so..." she waved her hands, at a loss for words.

Fa fallowed suit, the water hissing and steaming a bit as if flowed over her skin, "Jovial, perverted, stubborn, smart mouthed, pompous?" Fa drawled, listing a few of the more polite terms Nu Sou had been called over the years, "Yes, most of the time. He does have bouts of seriousness but -- unfortunately -- they are few and far between. He is a smart man, despite it, though." She admitted grudgingly.

"Men don't act like that back home," Yue scoffed. "Though I suppose the world is always different outside of a flowers pond." She started digging under her nails to get the dirt out. You're not one for water are you?" she waved a hand at the steam. "Is your clan fire?"
