With a big yawn, Yuan Yin walks from his bed to the large window in his room. As he cleans out his eyes, he watches the city and hears the first merchants barking at their employees and yelling for attention from the passing crowd. It was not a beautiful day, as the sun could not even manage to get through the thick clouds. Very odd, considering yesterday was a beautiful day, with sun, booze and women. a slight headache begins to bang in the back of his head and he goes through his hair with his hand, trying to stop the aching.
"Wha.. what are you doing?"
What was that? A voice in his room? And very close too! Yuan Yin slowly turns around to face the person talking and he finds no-one standing in the room. As he does not respond, the voice talks again and he sees the sheets of his bed move.
"Get back to bed or shut that window!"
He gets a pillow thrown into his face and falls down on the ground. What the hell?! By the sound of it, there was a woman in his bed... Yesterday's party seems to have been very good for Yin, but the lack of memory of the, obviously passionate night, was a bummer. He throws the pillow back on the bed and grabs a robe as he runs out of the room. As he steps into the hall he realizes she could be a thief and locks the door. He would deal with her later.
"I rather enjoy the thought a beautiful woman in my bed then see her face and possibly be disappointed. Now, let's see my uncle, it's time for me to get my own house and his money will buy me that. Hehe!"
Having lived in the Shou Chun palace all his life, he knows exactly where to find his uncle: at the dining room. His uncle was a big partier when the sun went down, but usually, when the sun is already up, he would still be going at it. Today would probably not be an exception. Walking into the dining room, he finds it empty. Perhaps all food and drinks were used up?
Next up is the throne room. In here, he sees Yuan Shu sitting on the throne and approaches him. The man looks terrible, but that is natural with the party-schedules he and his uncle were following here in Shou Chun. With the man having a hangover, Yuan Yin's chances of getting money for his house also grew. One clap of the hands and he would think the world would collapse. Time for some pressure!
"Good uncle! How are you today? I must praise you for the party we had last night. The gods have truly blessed us!"
And as he says it, he claps his hands together, hoping to get a good view of the current state inside the head of his uncle.
"But I have not only come here to compliment you. I realize I have been enjoying your hospitality for far too long. And with the land being torn to pieces by selfish, egocentric, wanna-be-warlords farmers, I think I should move and get another city up and running so we can aid each other in times of need. However, as you know, I have little money to spare, and controlling a city requires soldiers, who require more money for food and the such... I think you know where I'm going with this, so, without any further hesitation... I would like to ask you for some extra money. Say, 4000 gold pieces?"

Yuan Yin waits. And he waits longer. His stomach is aching, as he has not eaten anything since last night. He looks at his uncle as the man stares back at Yuan Yin. Was he asleep with his eyes open? Or was he just taken aback because of the request? There was no wrong reason within it, and asbove all, looking at his uncle's wealth, it was certainly not unreasonable. But still this utter sil\ence, as all Yuan Shu's henchmen anxiously await their lord's respondf. But he just kept on sitting there, surrounded by beautiful women, who seemed to care little for the whole affair.
But then! He raises a finger and slowly points it at Yuan Yin. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. If Yuan Yin and him were not of the same family, he would swear his uncle was about to order an execution. Right here in the throne room...
"My dear nephew!"
His voice echoes through the room and his whores step aside as he raises from his throne slowly.
"I have raised you. Under my vision, you have developed into the man you are today. My money and power hav e always been available to you when required. And most of all, you enjoyed the full protection of my mighty army."
He walks over to Yuan Yin, who has stands straight up in front of his uncle. Was his uncle still drunk? If so, he could easily manipulate the whole situation. But if not, he could die...
"And now you ask me to give you gold. What makes you think I have such kind of money?! Hahaha! No, no, my dear nephew. I have greater plans for you. My money Is you! He...he..."
He now stands right in front of Yuan Yin. They are still staring at eachother, until Yuan Shu places his hand on his nephew's left shoulder and their eyes are drawn to the event. They then look back at each other, Yuan Yin trying to form a smile, Yuan Shu looking deadly serious. Was that alcohol from his breath? Or were that the same clothes he weared yesterday? Damn that bad memory!
"You have your own army. You are old and wise enough. Improve this city as my apprentice, and maybe, someday, you will follow in my footsteps. But until that day, work around the city and go get me some wine!"
That said he places his other hand on Yuan Yin's shoulder and pushes him back.
"And next time you come with a request like that, I'll have your head on a plate! Hahaha!"
While still laughing, he walks back to his throne and hiw women and Yuan Yin, humiliated but still happy to be alive, slowly gets up and turns to leave the room. Why did he care to leave Shou Chun anyway? Oh yeah, the chaos! It was time for strong and abel men to rise up. Perhaps this city kept such a person?
While wondering about his many thought and potions, he walks back to his room. Completly forgetting who was still there...
