<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/66/ShinMinAvi.png)</div><strong>Name :</strong>Shin Min-hee<br/><strong>Element :</strong>Earth<br/><strong>Location &amp; Time :</strong>Wu Manor, night<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Ao dai (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f0/Ao_Dai.jpg)<br/><strong>Tagging :</strong>Wu Cai<br/><hr/>Min-hee was nervous.  She had been unbalanced from the moment she accepted Wu Cai’s invitation of room and board.  Propriety had dictated that she accept the invitation, but Wu Cai’s reaction at the tea house continued to nettle her.  It was perhaps Wu Cai’s way of apologizing.  The room Min-hee was given was certainly the nicest she had ever been.  It wasn’t over done as befitting the Wu family’s station, but the furnishings were hand crafted of the warmest cherry wood and the screens separating the room from the rest of the abode were painted by an exquisite hand.<br/><br/>A bath had been drawn for her, scented with lotus flower and Mugunghwa.  It was strange not to fetch her water or find a nice stream to bath in, but the bath was not unappreciated.  Servants appeared and disappeared quietly while she bathed.  Her river soaked clothing was gathered to be washed and a pristine white ao dai was laid out for Min-hee on the bed.  The garment was unadorned as befitting her station, but make of the finest silks, the Tà trước so delicate as to be shear and needing lace to keep it from being indecent.<br/><br/>Min-hee slipped into the sensuous garment when she was dry, the smooth silk caressing her skin.  A servant combed out her long black hair scenting it with oils.  The entire experience was alien to Min-hee, having never been more than a farmer’s daughter and an orphan of the monastery.  Having people wait on her was certainly strange.  When the servants deemed her ready Min-hee was escorted through the manor house and into a backyard paradise.  Min-hee could sense the perfect flow of chi lovingly tended by house gardeners.  Through hedges and rock gardens and over tiny bridges under which golden koi swam, the pretty servant girl lead Min-hee until she stepped onto a tiny island in the middle of paradise.<br/><br/>There was tea and sweet treats awaiting her, but she barely noticed them next to the captivating host who bowed way to low than was required.  The hem of Wu Cai’s kimono barely stirred in the warm evening air, but every little movement rustled pink flowers and teased to reveal more of the pale thigh they fluttered about.  Min-hee returned her bow, just as deeply and lowered her eyes in part in gratitude and in part to hide the warm blush touching her cheeks.<br/><br/>“It is I that am honored.  I am but a humble monk and you have already shown me more hospitality than is required.  Please call me Min-hee or Min if it pleases you, honorable Wu Cai.”<br/>
