"If you are so insistent. I really do not need anything Huang." She chuckled, her eyes scanning all the faces and stalls that they wondered past. There was so many different people here, all interesting and unique as the ones before. To the Noble ladies with their rich dress's and jewels to the beggars and sell swords lurking in the shadows, she always took the time to try and smile at everyone she wondered past - though with such a crowd that was nearby impossible. She even saw a cat sat on a wall, liking its paw before brushing it through its fur. The sun was bright in the clear blue sky, the young conduit raised her hand to shield her eyes from the rays. She heard voices chattering, catching glimpses of conversation. She held onto his tight, fearing that if she leg go she would be lost.
She looked around noisily at some stalls, she was not one to own many items, but most things were new to her and she liked to bait her curiosity. She stopped by one stall which was selling different tea's, She picked up the different blends and smelt them, some smelled like flowers and plants, others more like perfume. She smiled and held up the bag for him to smell, tea might only be a simple pleasure however it was one that she indulged in often.
She was really in no rush at the moment, in truth she just wanted to enjoy her date out with him, he seemed more relaxed out here. Possibly because he was not at home with her mother and sister, she did not want to pry but even she knew something was just not right there.
She preferred him when he was as smiley as he was now.

"Not so insistent but I would like something you to remember us by fondly." Huang smiled again at her before patting her on the head. As she lifted the tea to smell, he made conversation with the stand owner. Being that he was an assassin and a spy for legions as well, Huang traded information on targets.
Watching Sara closely he continued his talk with the man. "Well if that's all Chen, then i should leave now. Sara will probably be hunger now." Chen, The stand owner nodded before hesitating, which had Huang raising an eyebrow, If Chen was hesitating then it had to be something important. "Go on? You have something more to say?" Huang stayed in place as Chen gave him the rumour that had been passed through the vines recently.
In one moment, Huang's smile face flashed and disappeared into a blank slate, lips tightly strained as he received the rumor. Chen bowed his head and tried to reassure him that it had to be just a old wives gossip but Huang knew better. Information of any kind had to come from somewhere.
"Lady Sara, It seems an emergency has occurred." Huang handed Chen the coins for their purchases before turning to the priestess, gone was the light and airy mood and now replaced with a stoic seriousness that dampened the mood. "The tea's you have will be our gift to you." He held out his hand to escort her back to the horses before mounting them again with what purchases they had. If he let on that his mood was worsened, it would be with the way he rushed them back to the Lee estate.
"I beg for your forgiveness Lady Sara but this will be as far as I take you, The maids will help you back to your rooms and the servants will unload all the goods." Huang nodded his head to the servants who appeared and turned his horse. He needed more information. "Thank you for coming with me Lady Sara." Huang inclined his head at her before leaving her.
"They say someone who resembled Lady Lee of your household has been seen with many Noble captains, trading maps and information." Chen's voice rang in his head, "They say its because she is afraid the Legions are losing the war and so she is turning. Its a rumor being passed through the network but no one has ever seen her doing such. Pay it no heed Huang." Huang gritted his teeth. If this rumor was true.....No, Huang shook his head. He needed time and information.
