After her unplanned adventure in Wei, Ai-Ling had just recently come back home. There was nothing edible left in her pantry, so a trip to the marketplace was inevitable. Along her way, though, she had found out that her neighbour's chicken had escaped and was following her, so she turned around to capture the bird, intending to return it to her neighbour right away. The chicken, however, perhaps feeling threatened, had ran away... and thus, the chase had started.
She had been chasing after the chicken for a good while, running through the streets and causing a bit of a ruckus as she went. And, just as she finally managed to catch the chicken, a couple of guards had stopped and yelled at her for a while, only letting her go after fining her.
Now, tired and carrying the goddamn chicken under her arm, she was on her way back home when the blue-clad stranger approached her. At first, she gave him an intrigued look, but as he continued to speak, his choice of words made her frown a little. "Uhhh I'd rather not get into more trouble for now, you see, this stupid chicken just costed me the salary of two months. But, like... well, you don't look much like trouble, soooo... what is it?"
