"Ah.  Is that so?"<br/><br/>Your friend seems to start a bit, as if he hadn't noticed Urvasi right away.  He squints at her, frowns deeply.<br/><br/>"You found her in a big hole in the ground?"<br/><br/><strong>"Yeah, they did."</strong><br/><br/>"You are..."<br/><br/><strong>"Not happy about it, and the landing was rough, thanks for asking."</strong><br/><br/>The venerable elder goes pale and starts shaking, as if he knows something about your strange friend that scares the Kwanyin out of him.  This is reinforced by the sidelong looks he gives both of you.<br/><br/><strong>"So this is where you ask these two sweet girls to haul me off to a bunch of sages who will ponder their navels and then try to lock me away, just like they did to Daddy, and then the Hundred Year Bonehead Law will kick in and they'll change their mind and offer me anything I want if only I will help save their bacon.  Right?  Because that's what happened the last time.  And the time before that."</strong>She grins.<strong>"I'd just as soon skip the old farts blabbering and cut to the butt-kicking and personal harem if it's okay with you."</strong><br/><br/>None of this speech seems to make your old friend look any more relaxed.  Finally, though, after he sips his tea with trembling hands, he manages to respond.<br/><br/>"I know nothing of this Hundred Year law of which you speak, but word has come that champions are needed.  I thought to offer a longer term solution to the likes of Chao Yi to you both...to you three, I suppose.  If you are willing..."  He flushes.  "Although it would possibly be a wise idea to at least ask one or two learned sages about your new friend..."<br/><br/>Urvasi makes a cheerfully rude noise, giving a fair idea of her opinion.
