<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>Palace, evening<br/><strong>Tagging :</strong>Ta Mei Huai, Wu Cai<br/><hr/>Min-hee drooped a bit while exiting the room containing the wounded Lord.  What she had done required little physical exertion and yet she felt tired.  Earth Demon Lotus was deadly in its own right and had to be handled with great care.  Thankfully it was rare and her monastery guarded its location with great vigilance.  Still mental fatigue could be just as exhausting as the battle on the stone this morning.<br/><br/>Min-hee gratefully accepted the offered tea with a bow taking the cup in both hands as she did so and bringing it up to her lips.  The scent was refreshing and the tea of a quality she had never had the pleasure to sample before. “Thank you.” She replied simply.  “He has strong Chi.  While nothing is ever certain, I believe he will recover.  He will be weak for a time, but his strength will return,” Min-hee offered the obviously concerned concubine the most reassurance she could.<br/><br/>Surprise registered at the corners of her eyes when Wu Cai offered a room in her father’s home, surprise and confusion.  The woman had appeared repulsed finding Min-hee in the tea house and yet the smile she gave at the fondling of the beggar girl confused and perplexed Min-hee to no end.  So yes there was a hesitation there, an inclination to reject as she felt she had been. Yet it would be an affront to Wu Cai’s family honor for a mere monk to refuse the offer of hospitality.  Duty dictated that she accepts.<br/><br/>“You are most kind Wu Cai.  I will accept your generous offer.<br/><br/>Yes duty was the only reason. It had nothing to do with the image of firm hands cupping the merchant daughter’s breasts and the pleasure in her eyes and on her lips.  No it had nothing to do with that, nothing at all.<br/>
