Continuation
It did not take long for word to spread, a small woman with a mechanical monster wrapped in chains tethered behind her. She was not recognized as Fuu nor did she share her old name, leaving the given name she chose for herself 'Michi.' She did not find it difficult to find a place to stay, even with the impressive, intimidating 'prisoner' she kept with her, everyone had a price even it it required some haggling. Soons Haven in particular had a disease -- one of avarice in particular. There was a disparity here that was noticeable to even the most casual of observer between the rich and the poor, there was very little in-between. The poor vastly outnumbered the wealthy, however the poor tolerated the present state of affairs because they hoped that one day they would be among the grossly rich and they they would be able to lord their wealth over others in the way it was lorded over them.
That was a dream that most would never live out, but this was a city of fools and dreamers.
She found a nice place near the heart of the city, it was the sort of place where wealthy traveling merchants or foreign aristocrats would stay. She was even offered the room free of charge as long as she agreed to one thing the duration of her stay, that she keep her strange, chained follower near her window with the curtains open. The oddity garnered the community's attention and interest, something that served to Michi's benefit as well as the hotel "La Salle Rouge". Word traveled faster than the speed of light, a theoretical impossibility that she witnessed firsthand. The offers started rolling in within the first three hours. She waited three nights, she wanted to know what the highest bid would be and it was substantial.
She sent a letter by courier to the Aburabuta estate. It read simply:
She had work to do still.
