Jin'li stood on the balcony to his room, which was one of the highest, largest, and nicest rooms the inn of Limsa offered. Jin'li was adjust his white silk gloves delicately with the tips of his fingers as his black eyes sparkled in the afternoon sun as he reflected on the past few days.
The four former slaves had driven the wagons loaded with gold through the island terrain and into Limsa. Jin'li had convinced the slaves he had liberated to deposit the gold into one of the banks of Limsa. The deposit had made them.immediately popular and the three recently freed slaves seemed be uncomfortable with the sudden attention they received from the bankers as they deposited and converted their accounts. Jin'li had been unphased. He had often handled financial matters for Adin Adonis.
Following the deposits, Jin'li had withdrawn a sizable sum and split the amount between the four and had gone out on his own.Â
Since then he had changed his wardrobe from the black robes to something far finer. Â He was now dressed in a set of black, silk trousers that were bloused above polished leather boots with silver buckles. Â A half skirt hung from his belt from the zipper around the left side of his body and stopping at the middle of his back. He was wearing a white, silk shirt and a grey vest. Over all this he wore a long, knee length black coat lined on the inside with wolf fur.
He had purchased a walking cane made of polished metal with a curved handle and a leather holster hung over the half skirt and housed his fire arm.
The door to his room opened and Jin'li finished adjusting his silk gloves and picked up his cane which was lmeaning against the railing before turning to meet his visitors.
The three slaves stood there. All dressed in new attire.
"Where's the rest?" Â the male miqo'te demanded.
Jin'li blinked and looked at the male.
"This one is going to give you a moment to retract that rudeness for" Jin'li started. Â The male hyur and male miqo'te both pulled knives and glared at Jin'li.
"Ah." Jin'li said flatly. "This one now sees how Much you are slaves to the gold. Clearly.liberation is needed. Very well. You desire gold so heavily, then this one makes this agreement. The document allowing retrieval of the Gil within the bank is in the desk. You want it, be the last one standing."
you mean" the hyur started.
"This one.means a battle royal." Jinli went for the gun blade with a swift jekr of his hand. The hyur lurched and stabbed the male slave miqo'te Jin'lo had freed with him and stabbed him with his knife as used the  body as a meat shield as Jin'li fired and the bullet slammed into the corpse's chest. The hyur rushed forward with the body as a shield. Jin'li tried to reposition himself but his limp slowed him and the hyur slammed him to the ground.Â
Jin'li lay sprawled and tried to bring his firearm around to bare on the hyur. But the hyur kicked the firearm aside and made to stab.
But a knife suddenly flew into the hyur's neck and tumbled to the ground, twitching and gargling.
Jin'li blinked and.then looked at the female, who stood there in a red robe, a brown belt strapped around the waste. Several knives were shealthed there.
Jin'li awkwardly got to his feet and bowed to the woman.
"This one thanks you for your timely intervention. Do you mean to kill this one?"
The female stared at Jin'li and shook her head.Â
"No. I owe you. You freed me."
"This one gave you a gift. This one needs nothing in return. You are free." Jin'li replied slowly.
"No, I am not. My family has always paid their debts and I am in yours."
"Does saving this ones life just now not.free you from that obligation?" Jin'li inquired.Â
"I owe you one year of service. After this I shall be gone". The female answered.
 Jin'li was silent for a long time and he continued to adjust his gloves as he finally spoke.
"This one will only.accept your service if you view yourself as my equal and are only bound by a self.inflicted chain. This one does not enjoy the idea of binding others."
"I..." the female paused. " you are strange . I will agree though and yes I will only serve because I feel I am bound to do so."
Jin'li nodded. He did not like the idea of anyone being bound to him when he only wanted liberation but if someone else wanted to serve it was their right if they were free like this female.
"This one is called Trythian Oul." Jin'li said with a deep bow.
"I'm . . .the called me Fire. That's the name you can call me."
"A pleasure to be told your name Lady Fire"
"Last Fire?" Fire said blinking. "I am no Lady."
"This one believes you are both female.and named Fore therefore making you Lady Fire."
Fire paused and shrugged.
"Very well, Trythian. What is it you need me to do?"
Jin'li was still a moment. Then we walked over to the dresser and opened a shelf. He pulled out a wrapped package, the metal arm.of Askier in canvas rolls, and two letters.
"This one had meant to send this via a carrier but would rather you take them. The first should be easy to find. A Osric Melkire in Ul'dah. The large bundle.is for him and the first letter too. The second will be a bit harder to find. He is a Doctor. His name is written on the letter. You may need some assistance finding him but take as Much gold as you need for travel. You'll need to the code to access the gold. The code just happens to describe your mission."
"And how would you describe my mission, exactly?" Fire said with a bit of annoyance in her voice when.she realized what her oath of service had gotten her into.She blinked when Jin'li answered in his monotone voice.
"Spreading Kindness."
