Uttering its name bought Heini some personal space. She had a vacuum in which to perform it, and a captive audience of wardens anticipating something amazing- a wuxia miracle. But when nothing happened, the audience turned on her. The vacuum closed back in. "Never mind." Er Myau's mancatcher pinned down, not against the joint of a knee or an elbow, but around the nape of Heini's neck. Her leather shoe wrapped the branch of the fork and weighted it down. "You almost had me there. I thought you were a true master. But, you're only a thief."<br/><br/>The tines stayed tight and oppressive as chains jingled. The restraints were coming out. "This one has slipped free at least once, so take no chances." Clack, a thick slave's manacle closed around one wrist and part of the cushion of her palm. Heini was asked to bring her arms up from any hope of protecting her face, and excessively up, straight up behind her shoulderblades. Warden Bao Er Myau was comfortable letting the wardens do this. Heini had proven herself nimble enough to take it in stride. The chain looped around the weapon's shaft, and clack, the opposite wrist was entrapped. If the position made Heini's shoulders burn, Er Myau showed no sympathy. She was breathing hard where she had not been before.<br/><br/>With a careful, slow pivot that was an extension of her own balance, Er Myau scooped Heini from the riverbank with the sasumata's fork, at first by her neck, but once the cool metal found the divot of her backside, her thighs and the soles of her feet could just barely enter the equation. The spines high on the weapon instructed Heini to keep her back arched like a trained concubine, lest they prick.<br/><em>"What happened to her clothes?" </em><br/>"In all the confusion, I must have misplaced them."<br/><br/>The way back to the palace climbed many broad and shallow steps splayed like a deck of cards, well lit to the village below by proud stone lanterns. Since she had not come back as asked, this was the way she would be delivered to Judge Fu Li Shin.
