Lian wandered along the streets of this odd city, not really paying much attention to anything. She was lost in thought. Why was she here again? What was she looking for? She couldn't answer any of it. Her Father's last words were of encouragement for her to go after something, but his words were gargled with the blood that had seeped into his lungs, and Lian was panicked when he spoke. Now all she could do was try to fulfill this strange wanderlust she felt after he had died, searching for something she doubted she would ever find, or know what it was if she did find it.
A monger of some sort called out to her as she passed, asking her to buy some of his goods. She ignored him and continued down the street. Her weaponry was in plain sight and it made people avoid her. Good. She was in no mood today.

Xiu walks into a gap in the crowd, and immediatly bumos into a girl, knocking her over, it snaps her out of her thoughts, and back into reality, unsteadily she looks at the girl she had knocked down "Sorry about that" she says to the girl apologeticly

Lian was knocked out of her morbid thoughts by being knocked to the ground by some girl, who she guessed was around the same age group as her. When the girl apologized, Lian just shrugged. "It's fine. In this sort of crowd it's bound to happen." Lian got back to her feet carefully and looked up at the girl who was about 4 inches taller than she.

"Lin Lian" Lian responded, a bit confused at the crowd's reaction. Who was this girl?

Xiu smiles, "It is a pleasure to meet you" she says, "What brings you to Cheng Du?' she asks

"It's good to meet you also." Lian responded. "I have no clue what brings me here, to be perfectly candid, I am just wandering." Lian responded honestly.

Xiu nods, "Well, would you like something to eat before you continue your wanderings?" She asks

"That would be nice, but I wouldn't want to trouble anyone." Lian responded again, a little warily.

"It wouldn't be any trouble" she says "I was on my way to eat anyways" she says

"Alright then." Lian responded. "Show the way," She was happy rhat this was someone who was kind. There were many who weren't anymore.

Lian noticed that they were headed toward the palace and vaguely wondered why. She shrugged it off though and simply followed.

"So, I take it that you know how to use that" Xiu says indicating the weapon that Lian carries

"I know how to use all of them." Lian nodded as she said this. "I wouldn't carry a weapon I don't know how to use. What is the point in that?" She asked.

"Well, I have known a few people to carry weapons for show only, never knowing how to use them" she says as they near the gates, the gaurds see her and push the heavy doors open

"It's not a very intelligent thing to do. Especially if one happens to find themselves in a situation where they would need to know how to use them." Lain was now starting to understand what was going on here. This girl must have been some sort of royalty, or at least nobility.

Xiu smiles, "Yes, that would most likely be bad" she says as they walk through the gate, she sees her uncle and smiles, running towards him, she hugs him mightily

Lian just watched. She had no clue what was going on and she wasn't going to act as though she did.
