(Many apologies for the long wait for a reply! Sorry!!!!!)<br/><br/>The angel followed the stupid little beast around the building.  Argent wasn't<i>actually </i>a stupid little beast, but it definitely made Li feel a lot more comfortable about the entire messed up situation.<br/><br/>Li Xiu had wondered what Argent was talking about - or rather who she was talking about.  If even this annoying brat thought that this woman with the thorns was annoying...well, Li wasn't overly enthused by the prospect of meeting her.  "Yeah...Then you'd have more than just thorns to clean up, but a bloody corpse, as well," she said dryly.<br/><br/>Seeing as the ultimate queen of annoyingness and thorns was occupying the first bathhouse, she took Li to a second one.  Argent explained the situation to Li, before leaving her.<br/><br/>"Good riddance..." she muttered, shaking her head.  It surprised her that the bathhouse wasn't too disgusting or putrid.  It seemed to be well maintained, and even had seemingly clean water.  Li Xiu decided a bath might not hurt.  After all, there wasn't much else to do, for the time being.  She needed to bide her time.
