Tai stared at the new man in front of her, appraising him, and then she covered one of her eyes. Without speaking she began to circle the man, and upon finishing a full round about him, she stopped and smiled.
"Very purple, it's good to know." She looked him up and down now, continuing to smile at him. "You speak words but no intentions. Garbled in the lack of sound. Are you sure it is not I that may help you?" She stopped for a moment then moved very close to the man, and drew her face near his neck, and began to smell him. She drew back to an acceptable distance, and looked at the man. "You smell of red, red like blood. My name is Tai Ju Li, and it is good to meet you Red like Blood." She bowed a little bit, but not so formal as one might expect in court.
She stared around at the people in the streets, then her smile faded.
"The people here don't look right, lost in thought, lost in time. I wonder how much time until they're found?" She snapped back to the man before her, her smile returning. "So what is it I can do for you sir Red?" She tilted her head still smiling.
At first, Zhuwen believed that the woman had deciphered his intentions and was observing him to see if she wanted him. That would make things much easier, and Zhuwen was quite confident in his looks. Though probably not able to catch the eyes of all women, Zhuwen was indeed good looking, something that made his perverseness quite easier to live with. It was than that the woman began to act and speak rather strangely, at least in Zhuwen's opinions. Looking at the woman, he blinked a few times, not having ever met such an individual and not sure how to reply.
"I... smell like blood?" he asked, scratching his chin with one finger. "I haven't killed anyone for a while, and I take regular bathes. You must be some superhuman to be able to sniff me out like that. Or maybe you're just a puppy, a cute adorable puppy."
Zhuwen of course did not believe that the woman had the capabilities to smell blood on hm. She probably was able to tell he was a warrior by his attire. But Zhuwen decided he would humor the woman. Looking at her face and scanning her down, he could see that she was even more beautiful up close.
"I don't know about the people here," Zhuwen replied, not really caring to know what she meant. "But how about you and I go for a nice walk, have a nice dinner, and find a nice comfortable inn? All the treat of Sir Red of course."

An old dilapidated home was thought to be forever abandoned on it's hill, left to rot and collapse in the coming years. Without warning, however, a dozen men came to the home and began reconstructing the outer wall, restoring the inside and creating a fresh garden. What once became a broken house grew into a study estate in what seemed like overnight. This came to be quite the surprise to the townsfolk who curiously spent their free time examining what new arrival could be held responsible.
For three days many peered over the wall or through the gate for some answers. It was only until a carriage appeared at the estate until it was revealed. Out of which stepped the one most beautiful women in the whole of China dressed in the most ornately crafted clothing which only the hands of the Heavens could create. Cai Rui, using perfect posture to glide from ride to gate, felt the gaze of curious eyes and turned to meet those who watched. With a playful smile, Rui met their looks and bowed her head. Immediately the men slinked a way, flushed with embarrassment. What was such a treasure doing in a shanty place like this!
In fact, Cai Rui was not a country bumpkin and seemed forced to remain in such an out-of-the-way place. She very much enjoyed taking numerous trips to the city using her networking and astounding charm to worm her way into high class banquets and special rooms for cultured members of society. There was little she enjoyed more then to mingle with the most noble of people and they paid their respects in return. Being a charming young lady in this age was quite the wedge in the door and young Rui knew how to harness this advantage.
Of course, despite knowing how to reach the edge inner circles was different from being included in them. The truly powerful people were the ones arranging such banquets and owning the venues, not the ones attending. It was her goal in this attempt to gain reputation to be amiable and welcoming to those who had an elevated public standing. Be it at her house or in a noble's gathering she would openly take the time to meet and discuss the world around them.

All Zhuwen needed to know about Cai Rui was that she was one of the most beautiful woman around the area, maybe even the whole land, and Zhuwen quickly made it his goal to journey to the small village of nowhere. Dressed in simple clothing with light armor, there wasn't any assurance that he would be permitted to see this woman. Yet, what kind of man would he be if he didn't try? He had conquered a few women before that people deemed impossible, and even almost paid with his life when he slept with daughters and wives of nobles. He had made it a goal in his life: to never give up on a beautiful woman until everything was tried. In short, Zhuwen was a damn pervert.
Asking around the small village, it was quite easy to gain the directions to the whereabouts of Cai Rui as she seemed to be quite famous. Finding the location, Zhuwen walked in front of the guards and greeted them with a smile.
"Yo, can I see Lady Cai Rui?"
