Rain of Fish: Part 1 of 3

Mao clicked her tongue when Steele, “her” mercenary guard, arrived at the medical office. The apothecary could tell at a glance that Steele was not there for medical attention, which could only mean another summons. Ugh, what if that pervert, Lakan, wanted something for the morning-after-demon? Least Kan Lakan be Forgotten:
The rush of burn victims had slackened, and the business at hand was cleaning up and restocking supplies. Dr. Liu hardly looked up before he waved Mao to go. He had already borrowed En’en and Yao from their normal duties, and they were more than adequate for the routine work of boiling and rolling bandages.
Mao’s fellow physician’s assistants knew better than to pay attention to her leaving. Who would want to earn her or Dr. Liu’s ire? Except for one person, and even he kept his voice low to avoid the doctor’s attention. As she passed through the door, Tianyu said, “Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone could call a personal attendant after a night of debauchery?” Word spread fast when someone bested Kan Kakan.
“Kill him,” she said to Steele.
“As you wish, M’Lady.”
The mercenary’s hand went to her sword, an unusually fine one, a gift from the Moon Prince for her part in rescuing Mao from The Mad Frank’s minions. The Mad Frank’s Dreams:
“Niang Niang!” Tianya responded, eyes wide.
“Don’t bother,” Mao told Steele. “I’ll do it myself later.”
Steele relaxed. “Come, the Prince wants you, something to do with a prisoner and a fish story.”
