[b][i]The Hunt for the Madwoman[/i][/b]

Xiao Shan was nearly out of the inn before his ears caught music being played. Stopping to look behind, there was a musician playing.

Taking it in, Xiao Shan closed her eyes for a moment. Letting imagination take place as the lyrics play out.

Then once it's over and she was deeplysatisfied. The musician had some chops to their skills it seems.  

Grinning, she reached to the sides and produce a coin before concentrating. Estimating the distance, reach and power needed before she flicked the coin towards the musician. The coin soared through the air before landing perfectly on the lap, all of this without Xiao Shan ever turning back.

Hearing the clack of the coin hitting where she intended, Xiao Shan made a small pump of her fist as she grinned triumphantly and proudly at that before continuing on her journey to seek this mad woman.

With that behind, Xiao Shan made their way into the wilderness. The developed roads slowly turned into little dirt paths as she looked around her surroundings. It was a very good weather as well, perfect for just walking around. Xiao Shan idly thought as she picked a berry from a low-hanging branch, looked over it once before tossing it to the side.

Idly, she wondered if no one took the job because of how simply far and boring this job was.

The moment she finished those thoughts, her ears twitched and caught echoes of footsteps before someone came barreling out from a nearby bush.

That had her on edge since she should've caught his presence long before he even came but the man's begging for help as he was out of breath had her put aside that for now.
