[hr]

It was early in the morning and the Meifeng sisters were almost done opening shop. Lin's street performance yesterday evening made a decent amount of revenue, and she was able to sell a bundle of good luck charms to weary travelers. Things at the port town have gotten quite busy as of late, what with all the political talks and the beastkin war going on. Fu wanted to try her best to stay out of it though, right now the main thing on her mind was taking care of her sister and the shop. Although, she did like the prospect of getting more customers. 

[color=f26522]"LinLin, how many charms do we have left over from last night?"[/color] Ask the kitsune to her sibling. 

Lin clumsy shuffled through the shop's inventory in response to her sister's inquiry. When finishing she popped her head up from the crate she was looking in. [color=bc8dbf]"Looks like all we got left are some Laughing Buddha figurines and Dzi beads sis."[/color] Lin replied in a playful tone. 

[color=f26522]"Hmm...I may need to go out to restock this afternoon. I doubt my vendor's going to make it today."[/color] Fu has a vendor that visits the shop once a week to provide her with merchandise and useful info. Recently he sent Fu a letter saying that his visits may become less frequent for the time being. Apparently the Ministry of Order has a strong presence in the region where he resides and they've been enforcing trade and travel restrictions due to recent skirmishes with beastkin warriors. All Fu could do was sigh at everything, hopefully they could at least get by for now. [color=f26522]"I'm gonna change the sign now, be a lamb make sure everything's organized would you?"[/color] Fu began making her way to the entrance while waving gently at Lin. 

[color=bc8dbf]"Aye aye, sis!"[/color] Lin responded with a silly salute. 

After heading outside to switch the sign to open, Fu heard an old man yell out something, she recognized him as one of the elder merchants in the area. She then noticed what seemed to be a group of three men bullying a little girl in the street. Nodding her head in disapproval, she had planned on calling the authorities to settle the matter, but upon closer inspection she saw the young girl was actually Echo. Echo was well known throughout the port, being a frequent at many shops, including Fu's. Aside from an obvious moral standpoint of stopping grown men from hurting a little girl, Fu was already not in the best of moods and needed to vent. Walking up to the men, Fu hastily made her presence known. 

[color=f26522]"You three must have been cursed with defects in the lower extremities if you think bullying that girl makes you look tough. Leave her alone and give back her trinket...or else."[/color] She said ominously. She shot a small fireball at the man who threw Echo to the ground, hoping to hit him right in the posterior.
