When she calmed down, she produced a sly smile and stepped over to close the distance with the small group, stopping right in front of Cai. "Most of them can't read, never mind write. But it's cute that you think otherwise." The wild-looking woman seemed to have taken it more as the naiveté of a noble rather than any maliciousness. For a moment, Liem even felt the impulse to put an arm around the silk-clad swordswoman, to tease a little, but her instincts told her not to. Especially when Cai backed away -- it felt like if she followed along, she would be cut.<br/><br/>So instead she made a 'hmmm' sort of sound, frowned and raised her open hands in a peaceable gesture. "No worry, princess, not planning to carry you off for ransom. We don't do that anymore, not unless they ask nicely." She paused, considered, then added: "Be surprised how many are into that…"<br/><br/>Interrupting her strain of thought, she gave Heini a sudden look of concern, face blanching as what she had meant to say was quickly forgotten. "Poison? The more it circulates, the more difficult it gets. Why didn't you say so right away?" Liem was terrible at the alchemical aspects of Wudang, but she knew at least this much. So when Mei began to move, the bandit leader immediately stepped along, moving at a fast pace.<br/><br/>When they entered the establishment, her eyes darted from side to side in order to locate the Wudang massage master Shin Min-Hee. Whatever finesse the courtesan exhibited as she addressed the attendant was lost on Liem, who gave the employee an evil glare, plain in meaning: don't even try to divert us.
