Her peaceful little town had gone to shambles rather quickly and she was feeling a great sense of responsibility and was starting to become stressed. Her Mistress had always told her that it was one of her greatest faults, feeling upset and angry at herself when she couldn't control everything. But things would be so peaceful and relaxing if she was in charge ... or if she had a Mistress who could force her to focus on something else the way that ... no, no time for those thoughts now.<br/><br/>She had to take charge. She knew that she couldn't let a concubine and a ... whatever sort of troublemaker Heini was ... think that she was any less than someone to be respected and followed. "We will head for the marketplace." She said, striding confidently as if there was no room for dissent. "The lady I am looking for may be there, or someone may have seen her."<br/><br/>It did not take long for the little group to get there, and Cai was pleased to see that things were back to almost normal. The terrifying illusions no longer ran amuck, but worse there were no signs of black pages anywhere. They had all been snatched up or used. A frantic effort to put out a fire looked to have succeeded just as the group approached the market and Cai was sad to see one of her favorite curiosity shops had been ravaged by the flames conjured by the curse that these devils had spread throughout town.<br/><br/>A thought suddenly occurred to her. Whoever had sent these boats and whoever had attempted to assassinate Lord Chaing were likely one and the same. While the town and the guard trying to quell the chaos of dozens of curses distributed to greedy, needy, angry peasants it would be the ideal time for an attempt on his life. Her eyes narrowed as she once again wondered if Heini was somehow involved. It would be the perfect cover after all, she tried to subtly spare the thief a sideward glance as they walked.<br/><br/>"Miss Wu!" An eager merchant called out from his wine stand. Cai saw a man she recognized as a frequent guest of her father, who appeared to have just finished serving a full gourd to a rough looking woman wearing the clothing of the northern lands. He seemed very eager to have her observe the transaction.<br/><br/>Cai decided it was as good a place to start as any. Ignoring the stranger she stepped up to the merchant. "Mister Fen." She nodded to him. "Pardon me but there is a matter of utmost importance that I need help with. I am searching for a woman who could be of great help to me and I will remember any who are able to assist me." She noticed the merchant's eyes light up. "The woman I seek calls herself Shin Min-hee. She was wearing a silken habook, decorated with ribbons of Izu, a rather short habook at that. I'm sure a man less virtuous than you Mr. Fen would have noticed her instantly." She knew the man would have drooled over Min-hee if he had seen her. "She may be in a somewhat damp condition." Cai tried not to smile at the memory of her victory. "Please Mr. Fen, have you seen this woman?"
