Rui offered a polite smile and some cheerful laughter, though she tried to be subtle in getting some partial cover behind the door. Quite an overly forward fellow this one was! "Well... aren't you a helpful man! I am quite busy working right now but maybe you can do me a favor? There is a gardner other side of town and I wanted to collect some flowers but now I'm just afraid I'll not be able finish in time to meet him." She wore her best 'sad' face, allowing the strapping young man to catch the obvious hint of a distressed damsel.
Zhuwen rubbed his chin as he made arched an eyebrow and kept his smile. If there was one thing Zhuwen was knowledgeable in, it was women, and this one seemed to know how to use her charms to sway people in her favor. Hearing that this girl was building her reputation in the area, Zhuwen had to wonder if she had some ambitions for the near future. It would be interesting to see what she could do.
"Well, alright then," Zhuwen replied, not much caring about the fact that he was quite possibly being used. "But you'll make it worth my time right? Good, then I'll be gone for a little while, let's have a chat after I come back Lady Cai."
And without waiting for a reply, Zhuwen left the front of Cai Rui's house. He sought the place the she tasked him to find, asking the locals. When he found the gardener, he collected a wide variety of flowers paying for them, and soon returned to Cai's house. The trip took quite a while, but Zhuwen wasn't in any hurry. He never was. Knocking at the door, he called out to her.
"Back with your request, Lady Cai!"

Tai like the name. Hedeng. It fit him well. Plus blood was ascent only aided by the breeze. She smiled at his question, wondering what he was thinking. At least he seemed to understand some of what she was saying. That was definately a start.
"I like that idea, my King of Blood. Perhaps we shall both be like the breeze for a time. At least till we find somewhere of interest." She stopped talking for a moment, breathing in his scent once more. "Tai wonders if the King fo Blood might lead troops again in the future? Does such a thing appeal to you?"
"Leading troops? I dunno, sounds cool I guess, though I didn't do much of it back when I served Xiang Yu," replied Zhuwen. "Only made it far as lieutenant, and that was near the end of my service. If I'm going to lead an army though... I'd want an army of women," he said with a loud laugh. "Although... Seeing women hacked to pieces wouldn't be a pretty sight now, would it?"
The two walked on for a while longer, the quiet forest only being interrupted by the chirping of birds once in a while. Zhuwen's eyes glanced over to Tai every once in a awhile, a few temptations to touch "some areas" rising. But Zhuwen refrained from doing so, even though he guessed Tai wouldn't care much, from what he could make of her. He stopped at one point, leaning down and picking a white flower.
"Hmm... Can I try putting this in your head?" Zhuwen asked. "This is sort of a rare one you only see in winter."
