Xin nods in approval. "I could use a man like you to advise me. You appear to have ways to gather information but it's your analytical mind that would bring the most benefit. But I must ask why I am at the top of your list of leiges? What do you think I can provide you that others cannot?"

The guards snap to attention and recognize the name of the former Prefect of Yang Di. After completing a search for hidden weapons, Wei was escorted to Lin Xin's public office.
"Welcome to Yue Master Feng," the Marquis said as Wei was announced and presented to him. "I'm glad to see you have safely arrived after the unfortunate incident in Hann."

Feng Wei looked to the ground and mumbled something that wasnt able to recognise what he was saying. He then faced up and said to Lin Xin 'All is not lost, just the timing was bad for me. But i will get what i deserve like any other people... Now i believe my vassal Daisuke Aramaki have sorted some arrangement with you? Correct?' He asked the man. In all honesty Feng Wei wasnt too keen in making too many friends, cause if he did. He might get too comfortable and might end up forgetting his purpose for being here.

Liu Dan smiled, "I have my reasons my lord, but let me respond to your question with my own, what do you think you have to offer that other lords don't."

Xin's smile faded at the man's response. With a concerned look, the Marquis stated, "You're right. All is not lost. My vassal, Aramaki, did speak with me about you. You are welcome to seek refuge within the protected boundaries of my realm Master Feng. But everything must come with a price. Until I can assist you in getting back what you deserve, you and your men must give me an oath of loyalty and support."

Dan's response did not place well on the Marquis. Being a man of action, Xin is used to directness in speech, expecting a proper answer when questioned. His mouth slightly dipped into a frown as he replied, "I believe it is you who have sought me as a potential liege Master Liu. Now is not the time to be coy and redirect my question back to me. That only serves to bring suspicion upon your motives."

Liu Dan smiled, "My lord I do not mean to be coy, I have heard of you, and seen your deeds, but this is the first time I have met you. You must understand, anything I've heard is but from the mouths of others, and I have yet to test such statements with mine own ears. By asking you this question I wish to gain a judgment of character. I mean no insult, or do I intend to avoid your question. Simply wish to hear what you think of your own self." he brushed the cloth from his face again, 'I mean no insult, and hate to use the word test. But I am simply trying to hear from you, what you believe are your greatest strengths."
he sighed, "But if you insist upon my answer, I will give it, willingly."

Appeased with an honest answer, the Marquis says, "Master Dan, what you seek is perfectly reasonable. You only needed to ask what I thought of myself."VincentStClaire wrote:Liu Dan smiled, "My lord I do not mean to be coy, I have heard of you, and seen your deeds, but this is the first time I have met you.

Pausing as he finishes his tea and fills both his and Dan's cup, Xin continues, "I have much experience in warfare and leading soldiers. That background has aided me greatly in establishing peace in this province. My men follow me because I am fair and able to use their talents to the fullest. Knowing that I am not the expert on everything, I seek the counsel of those who are whenever possible. Because of that, I have been able to gain the trust of many, for this kindom is not mine alone, but built by the blood, sweat, and tears of everyone involved."
"Now," he concluded with a smile, "I believe it is your turn to answer my question."

Liu Dan smiled the whole time Lin Xin was speaking, "Wonderful, that is what I heard exactly. There are several lords out there that take all the credit for what is done.They put themselves on pedestals they do not deserve. But here you are, acknowledging to a person, who is pretty much a stranger, that you are not alone. That all the glory is not yours alone. But of the people." he sipped his tea and continued, "I have waited to find one such as yourself. You offer more then money to men, you offer more then your own praise as well. You offer simple men like myself to join in building a new age for this land. An age where no longer is one man looked upon as a god. But a land where all people can receive praise for what they do. You are not a tyrant, but a leader."
he laughed, "And a modest one at that." yes indeed Liu Dan had finally found the man he was seeking, the one who reminded him of his father. "Lin Xin, I must say I have not enjoyed the company of another in a long time. If you will have me, I would gladly join your purpose. In hopes that my skills will allow you to build a new age for this land." he finished his tea and stood, "Will you accept my service?"

'My loyalty is to the Brotherhood than to myself, i hope you dont find this logic complicated...' He said with his hand running through his scruffy hair and continued 'Of course i am a man of my words, i shall keep my oath in order to gain help from you. Daisuke Aramaki was the man suggested to you, i believe his judgement was full of wisdom... I can only hope you dont disappoint his expectation. Now are we in agreement?' He said casually, as if he wasnt expecting too much from being under his force

Xin laughs as he stands and pats the strategist on the shoulder. "And that is what I wanted to hear from you. It would honor me greatly to have someone with such enthusiasm support my cause. Welcome to Yue. A servant will lead you to your temporary quarters until one is established."
