The touch of another woman can be comforting and exciting.  I find myself enjoying it much more than any man.  I do not think it is a weakness.  Now if you would like me to thrash the thief for her impropriety when I see her again, I would be happy to accommodate you, but I must admit that might have something to do with my own jealous feelings.  You seemed disgusted when you saw me in the tea house.  I had assumed it was because the idea of women being intimate offended you.  I realized when I saw you with the thief that that was not so and I thought it was just myself that you were offended seeing.”  Min-hee offered the information freely.  As a wandering master and monk she was freer than most too live outside of the norms of society and any time her teachings could help someone she was happy to offer them.  Of course letting the beautiful merchant’s daughter sitting across from her know that her feelings about women were shared did open the door to certain possibilities that created a pleasing warmth inside of her.  “But if you wish to apologize then I will certainly accept it.  You have opened your home to me and I am very grateful.  My friends call me Min and I would be happy if you did so too.”  Min took a sip of her tea.  The honey infused liquid only added to the warmth inside.  “You were receiving guidance from your Mistress?”  Min asked curiously.  “Is she away?  I do not wish to keep your from her.”  It occurred to Min that the Kimono may have been for Cai’s mistress’s delight and not her own.  The idea did not cause jealously.  She had felt that spike upon seeing Cai and Heini, but that had been a reaction birthed from surprise and rejection. The idea that Cai had a mistress was both efficient and practical.  She found herself liking Cai even more.  A brain was just as sexy as a short little kimono with pretty pink flowers.<br/>
