<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/0mrETnd.jpg)</div><strong>Name :</strong>Wu Cai<br/><strong>Element :</strong>Metal<br/><strong>Location &amp; Time :</strong>Wu Manor<br/><strong>Tagging :</strong>Min-hee, Closed<br/><br/>Wu Cai was doing her best not to fret as her maidservant brushed out her hair once more. She had already been sitting at her vanity for far longer than she could remember doing since the day she left for the Jade Star school. She couldn't remember wishing to look her best ever since. A fact that had not been lost on Li Fan, her maid.<br/><br/>"You know Miss Wu, I can't remember making your hair so lustrous for any of the<em>men</em>your father wanted you dine with." She said with a knowing smirk.<br/><br/>Cai blushed deeply as this was pointed out. "Friend Fan, do you recall how I have always encouraged your freedom of speech and open candor with your mistress?"<br/><br/>"Of course my lady."<br/><br/>"Disregard it all at once." Cai said, provoking a rather amused chuckle from her friend and servant, who finished stroking her hair to lustrous perfection before applying her lady's makeup. A very pale foundation made a perfect base for glittering shadows around her eyes and dark ruby across her lips.<br/><br/>"Now then, I think this one should be uh, celebratory enough?" Fan held out one of the shortest dresses Cai owned. One she could not remember ever wearing before. "Your father gave this to you before you met with the son of his friend from the south, do you not recall?"<br/><br/>"Oh, yes. I believe I wore, what is it that I wore instead..."<br/><br/>"I believe you fetched a rice sack and cut holes in it."<br/><br/>"I would never have done that." Cai said, in a completely serious voice. "He would have been able to see my arms that way." Another round of laughter between the friends as Cai stepped into the dress and the matching shoes with the tall heels that complimented it so well. "Well, do I look approachable (http://i01.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/795/162/473/473162795_021.jpg)?" She asked.<br/><br/>"My lady you look completely and gorgeously<em>purchasable.</em>" Fan said, then laughed and stepped away anticipating the lazy soft punch Cai let go in her direction, then stopped as she heard a bell ring. "Your guest has arrived."<br/><br/>"Show her down at once."<br/><br/>Min-hee would be led through the resplendent Manor by the pretty maid who had a knowing and mysterious smirk on her face, and then down the back stairs to a large garden area, then through the maze of hedges into the center of the garden where an island built across a koi pond sat. Wu Cai stood next to a very short table, covered with tea and sweet pastries, head bowed in formal greeting for her guest, wearing a dress rather informal in its shortness.<br/><br/>"My Lady, you honor me with your presence." She said sweetly and politely.<br/>
