((*Activates crappy post powers*))
Xifeng made a noise of understanding as the younger girl explained the situation, taking another sip of her drink, slowly savoring it. Moderation was a wonderful thing--Enjoying it was better. The woman followed the other's gaze to one of the few other females in the room that weren't performers. She watched for a moment as well, noting the situation. "Noticed the crocodile tears as well, I see." She murmured quietly. What the Young Lady decided to do to get attention wasn't her problem. It must of been a female thing of both her and Quing noticed it...
But like it had been stated, Yue could care less. She'd much rather just stay unnoticed for now.
The woman turned her searching golden eyes for her men, which weren't that easy to find, despite how long she had known most of them. They were most likely pigging out or chatting around with others... Taking another drink of her wine she laughed at the other womens comment about the tears. "Who couldn't" she said with a small smirk on her face as she stood there. The girl of course did get her attention but she wasn't sure if that was exactly who you wanted to get it from. Cao Cao, that was definently not someone Qing would want to get attention from.
Qing had watched people enter, people walk out but she said nothing to any of them. Her gray eyes watched the people in the room they were all quiet interesting. She really just wanted to see the people that were in this for the same reasons as her, or so they claimed. Some of them she just wasn't sure what there intentions were about this whole situation. Of course she could of been totally wrong but she really couldn't be to sure.
She heard some talk of peace and she shook her head slightly, she just didn't believe that peace would be around forever. After this there would be more wars, more fighting you can have peace but it would only be for a short time. Plus people had different definitions of peace and how to get to peace was different for everyone. Some people believed that peace you had to get by doing whatever you had to. Some believed that violence wasn't the way to get peace, that if didn't solve anything.
Qing of course, wasn't exactly sure what peace meant to her she never really had known what it meant to her. Getting more wine she stood there drinking it, after all she really didn't feel like getting drunk but more wine wouldn't hurt her. Watching the people being dragged in that were traitors she watched with her gray eyes. They were traitors, they didn't deserve any sort of attention, all she did was look away. Giving them any sort of attention she didn't think was worth it, so she wouldn't bother touching them.
Watching what was happening with the women she raised a eyebrow slightly. Look as though the girl had became a...well she wasn't exactly sure what the girl was to the man. Whatever it was, it probably wouldn't end to well after a while. As the others looked upon the prisoners she decided they were probably going to kill them. Of course they were traitors and most of the time traitors tended to have a very small chance of living in situations like this.
Watching what was going on with the guy and whoever the girl was she turned away. She wasn't much for the mushy gushy parts of things like this, especially with people who had been talking for like three minutes. Looking at the women in front of her "interesting situation" she said nodding slightly over to what was happening with the women that had been fake crying. Qing wasn't entirely sure if that women just might of regretted the fake tears due to her situation now. Qing was also very glad that her and the other girl were staying away from the crowd per say.

Cao Cao’s grin widened at Lady Sun’s response to his question. If one thing he did truly admire about the woman was her own skill in manipulation and deceit. Granted, Cao had bested her in this short conflict, but in doing so he gained further insight into another element of the world. Brute strength was always one way to beat the world, but it would be with knowledge, wile, and tact, that a single man could conquer it, one step at a time. Her assertion that the men would die in the name of the Han pleased him; even if it wasn’t pretence, she projected herself as loyal to the empire, an image Mengde had worked hard to establish.
“You heard the lady, spare no lives!” Flickering across Cao’s lips was a wicked joy at the condemnation of traitors, even if they weren’t betrayers to his own ideals, such men would still be better left to rot as corpses.
Nodding, Cao lightly grazed the arm of his newest insight with his fingertips, a subtle affection being placed in the mans brief gaze. The two were preparing to leave, but were then halted by the voice of the virtuous, the charismatic, and to Mengde, interfering Liu Bei.
Before he could rattle off a quick fired response to scold the man’s comment, lady Sun entered the fray to stop any potential conflict. Cao watched her with further genuine intrigue as she spoke, and let out a soft, shrewd laugh. She was good, she was quick off the mark, she would be of great future use. Giving a slight nod to Bei before the man left, Cao gave his own brief insight.
“The young beauty speaks wise words, lord Bei, we all are deeper than our skin lets on.” Mengde then rolled his sleeves down, and signalled for a few of his men to prepare to leave. One would rush over to Xiahou Dun, and inform the man of his lords departure. Cao himself gave a brief smirk to Xuande before both men turning their separate ways, and then reapplied his mask of humility, preparing to walk towards the exit, with the lady Sun at his side.

Guan looked to his brother, awestruck. He couldn't believe that his brother had paid no attention to his question. This is odd... something must be troubling my brother. Guan thought as he looked to the two people he was conversing with. He stroked his beard as he moved towards the two and bowed slightly for a brief moment.
"It is truly a memorable night to meet two such as you. Another time I hope that we could truly talk. Enjoy your evening."
Guan spoke briefly as he followed behind his brother. His stride proud and his eyes scanning the crowd of the party. Liu Bei had wanted them all to leave, he must have been upset. Why wouldn't he just calm himself like usual? These were the thoughts running through Guan's head as he found his younger brother and brought his hand down heavily upon his shoulder.
"Come Brother Zhang.. our older brother needs us to come with him to settle certain matters that are of high importance."
Guan's eyes told Zhang Fei that it was time for them to leave, whether either of them wanted to or not...

The Battalion leader maneged not to roll her eyes, barely, anyway. But all the same, she had been following the situation closely without appearing to be... At least, not as intent on it as some of the eavesdroppers had been. The were making a scene outside of a scene, for the gods sakes.
"And so you see why men believe all women are foolish and good only for the home." She murmured, for Qing's and possibly her bodyguard's ears only. "Most of us who are blessed with gifts above others of our gender do not know how to use it properly... She made her cry of attention and picked her battle of wits with someone far superior than herself in that area. Maybe a few years or so from now, they would be even... But it matters not now. He had her before she looked up." A soft laugh escaped past her lips.
"I guess as a whole, the human race is quite destructive. Men in the battlefield and women in their own ways of fighting. Now if you will excuse me, Lady Qing, I will not stay for a slaughter. Enjoy the rest of your time." With a brief smile, the older woman turned and headed for the doorway. Moments later, several men got up and followed her, led by her second who was yammering about Xifeng always up and disappearing without telling them. Xifeng has left.

He guessed he was a little angry maybe subtle that Shang Xiang couldnt see past Cao Cao's gaze and his Chaotic eyes. But what was done was done, He breathed a sigh of relief that he got out of that area early if he would of stayed there he might have got to a status close to annoyed. Breathing a few times he recollected his breath and walked over to a young lady who seemed to be by herself.
''Excuse me miss. It seems as you are lonely do you mind if i accompany you for the remainder of the night?''
This young lady seemed to be very pretty and maybe Liu Bei had somethign in mind for this pretty lady. He was looking for a partner or just another friend. He had friends in Shu but outside of that it would be very limited. Hopefully she would see his virtue radiating out of him. Maybe a long shot but even taking her away as well. But for now he would just be interested in small talk.

Qing laughed slightly at the womens words "it appears he did" she said standing there looking around. Then the women said she had to leave and that she did. Qing gave a small bow as the lady left, at least now she knew that there were women out there that could hold there own. Which was a comfort, because in these times there were a lot of women who seemed as though they couldn't. Of course most people had the strength to do that sort of things they just didn't realize it.
"Hm I suppose I am" she said looking around and she came to the realization that she really wasn't talking to anyone else. Turning to the man she looked at him, she had seen him in there earlier. It had appeared that he had left, but now she guessed he hadn't. "Not at all" she said shaking her head slightly as she took another. Giving a small bow she looked at him "my name is Xiaoli Qing" after all the best thing to do would be to introduce herself.
Qing had very few friends, and even if they were her friends she never really admitted it to anyone. Her bodyguard gave her a look, due to the fact that this was the second man that had approached her. She shook her head to him, Qing would take care of any problems but this guy didn't seem like that much of a problem. Of course her father detested any man that tried to get his daughter, not out of protection. Simply because he believed that if she met someone they would take her away from the world that he believed she belonged to.

Liu Bei looked as the young lady was supposedly talking to herself, But indeed she wasn’t she had taken notice in him thus he was pleased with the reaction he had got. He kept walking over to her smiling hoping she would take up on his offer for a friendship maybe something more would happen, but he didn’t know much about her so this was the best time to be talking to a new face with his brothers distracted.
‘’Forgive my tardiness, My name is Liu Bei, I rule the Shu Kingdom and I live to serve the people of the land.’’
In the commotion he had forgot to give her his name. He perhaps did a small blush and bowed immediately towards her. She did look very pretty in his eyes getting to know her would be great because he did like to meet new people and he was getting some what interested in the partner side of life. Maybe there was a slight chance of this happening to him.

The man was smiling at her but her face remained the same calm look as it always seemed to play. Qing of course didn’t reject anyone who wanted to talk to her, her father might be a pirate but she didn’t plan to be like him. In fact if she could one day get away from it all then she would. Of course if she was doomed to run the ship after he was dead she would do it the way she wanted things to be run, not like how he enjoyed to run it. She of course had a different idea of how things on that ship should have been done, outlining all the mistakes her father had made threw his time of running the ship.
“Pleasure to meet you Liu Bei” she said, in a way she thought that her father had mentioned this man a few times before. Of course lately he had been talking about the rulers around the area ever sense they started to involve themselves in the war. Before that about all he talked about to his men were the very simple things, the things that they needed not anyone else’s needs. Qing really wasn’t sure what to think, after all she was helping her father against her own will, and this wasn’t the life that she had ever wanted to live. “I’m the daughter of Xiaoli Mei, the pirate” she said looking at him, most were surprised to find out her father was a pirate.
After all she didn’t act like his men; she never had even when she was a child and had been first brought aboard. “Currently my father hasn’t been his normal self…after all he decided to get involved with battles” which wasn’t like him at all. After all most of the time it was just about getting the things they needed, not what they could do for others. Her gray eyes looked at him as she stood there, now the biggest question was would he still want to stand there and talk to her. He being a leader like he was would probably not want to be around her due to the fact that she was a pirate, bad for his reputation.

He poured a drink of wine into his glass then slowly raising it while she was talking about to drink some and then she mentioned her mother and father were pirates. Any other leader would have immediately left; but Liu Bei was a man of all people from whatever look to whatever occupation. He didn’t mind at all; Liu Bei was one who would stick up for people no matter any reason he would do his best. Though at these times he is a very young leader and it was a huge strain on him but he would do his best. It also seemed that the party was dying down to a few generals and the captured from the main battle that had occurred.
‘’Ít seems like this party is dying down. Would you care to continue out conversation back in my home of Shu. I will give you a guided tour of my homeland.’’
He wasn’t sure what come over him just then. It seemed that he wanted to leave but not leave her. His mind had a lot of things on it; weighing him down a lot. He took the cup and guided it towards his mouth and swallowed it whole what was left in the cup. It wasn’t much just a bit more than a shot. He wasn’t sure if she would accept his offer as much as he liked it to be true it didn’t seem so. Maybe if she didn’t accept she would visit at another time but there could be a slight chance that it could work.
‘’It isn’t mandatory, but only if you feel like it. I do not mind either way but also you should know this I don’t mind your family’s background it is good with me’’
He turn to face where she was facing looking over the area where many great generals were. His cape did a 180 around him and floating back towards the tile floors. Who know what the remainder of the night heading into early morning would bring.

Actually he mother wasn't a pirate, she wasn't even sure where her mother was at the moment. Her mother had never mattered all that much to her father. Especially sense the life she led was because she didn't want her mother to get killed. Of course she couldn't be sure that her mother was still alive, but she didn't want her to get killed so she remained in the service of her father. When she took over she wasn't sure what she could do, after all that situation had never really come up to much. It didn't seem the fact that her being what she was bothered Liu Bei all that much which really wasn't a bad thing. After all it would make the conversation a lot less acquired, or whatever you could call this. Soon Qing noticed that the party had died down and there were a lot of people leaving it seemed. Standing there she heard his question or statement, whatever you wanted to call it. Thinking about it she stood there for a moment thinking.
If she did go, she wasn't entirely sure what her father would feel about it but this guy was a leader after all and he had planned to one day eventually join one. Which one she couldn't be sure but often he asked her advice on which one, now would be a good time to see. Looking at her bodyguard she waved him away, after all this visit she didn't think she would need him for. Even if she did need some sort of protection she would be able to provide it for herself. He merely blinked and walked out of the building, off to where ever they had came from.
"Hm, I don't see why not" she said looking at him, that was a reply which was a yes. After all Qing didn't think she had anything to lose by going to his city. Her father would probably wonder where she was but when did she ever really do exactly what he told her to. She grinned slightly to herself as she pictured her bodyguard telling him that she was off on her own. Her father didn't like her to be alone with people, she wasn't sure why but he just never did.

He didn’t expect her answer to be a yes, was there something about this girl that intrigued him? That he was unsure of. He made no progression into making her become his partner; like Cao Cao made to that Sun women. He believed if it really was love then she would show the same affection not lust. After his little fight in his mind he smiled at her and he walked towards the exit with her beside him. He wondered if any of the other generals that were still there wonder about what had happen with him and his new friend. More importantly what would his brothers think of this event that had just occurred between Liu Bei and Xiaoli Qing. She seemed like a nice girl. He turned to her just as they started walking and bowed and grabbed her hand lightly
''Thank you, for accepting my offer. You have made me very grateful for this encounter this evening.’’
He hoped that what he was doing wasn’t too bad or too early. They were friends well that was what she thought as well. He slowly let go of her hand, once again hoping he hadn’t come on to her too strong. He waved to his brothers if they saw it signaling to them that he was about to depart. He also wondered what her parent would think as he caught a glimpse of her bodyguard leaving the party moments earlier would he tell her father about this or others? Stopping for only a moment a waiter came up to him and had a dish out for tea for the guests and warriors of the party. He offered green tea to both of them. He would await her response maybe she would like to stay a little longer for some tea.

Qing wasn’t like that women that had left with Cao Cao, she didn’t play mind games with people, and if she ever did she didn’t just do whatever if they won. She was use to doing what she wanted to and not doing what other people wanted her to. Of course her father basically controlled her so she did do what he told her to, but for her own reasons. Plus Qing hadn’t ever fallen for someone, she just with her life at the time learned that falling wasn’t the best thing to do. Of course most people if she told them no then it would be done, no one cared for her liked that.
Like the man earlier, all he wanted her for by her guess was how she looked which really made her mad, plus men like that never really mattered that much to her. She of course didn’t completely ignore them but that gave her no reason to pretend like she cared what they said. Qing was so stuck in her thoughts that when she looked down she noticed he had a hold of her hand. ‘What is he doing’ she thought to herself as she looked over at him her eyebrow raised slightly. After all she didn’t need anyone to hold her hand threw life, also the fact that he had just sort of grabbed it.
It wasn’t forcefully but he still, why did he think that grabbing her hand was really that needed, after all she could just follow him. “There is no need to thank me” she said shaking her head slightly and the glass decorations in her hair moved slightly. “This night at first was a bit weird for me but towards the end it turned out surprisingly good” she said sort of surprised that she had enjoyed herself towards the end. Of course all she did was talk to a few people and almost get drugged, which was the weird part of the party. As he let go of her hand she let out a breath and stood there for a moment, she was definitely not use to people doing that.
“I’m fine” she said looking at the person that had brought over the tea, now that she was half way out she really didn’t want to stay any longer. She didn’t mind crowds but they just really weren’t her thing at all, and plus the people getting killed in there. Yes she did kill people on the battlefield, but for some reason outside of the battlefield she couldn’t bear it. Just didn’t seem right for those people to die, after all was doing that to them any better then what they had done. They should have been shown something they had never known, kindness.

Turns Out He's Still Here
After having been standing around for a very very very very very long ass time doing nothing, Ren decided he would leave. He gathered up Liu Pi and they went out the doors. Then they saw the stairs.
"I forgot about those." So Ren grabbed a lunch plate (ANARCHISM) and so did Pi, and together the two of them invented tobogganing.
