Intro

Guest is at their stall selling silks and textures (fabrics)

Her stall is busy with customers, mostly women

Zhao Lian

I walk through the crowd with my two guards behind me. Irritated that I had to come..

I see a stall crowded and it slightly caught my attention from the corner of my eye.

(Inner monologue: wait?.. who is that?.. their really.. NO!.. just keep walking!… well.. it wouldn’t hurt to look…. Maybe my Mother might like something… yeah.. I should at least look..)

My eyes cant stop flickering to her face. Stealing glances

Customer: I would like these two.

Of course, two bronze Cowrie. I smile politely
