Chenua, mostly known as Chen, was strolling casually down the hall of the palace, a trail of servants attempting to scold the woman as she moved about in her red pants and red and black tunic top that left her arms and midriff exposed, showing off her muscular form. Her shoulder length black hair was tied back into a simple bun behind her as she moved along the torch lit path to the chambers of her lover where she had been summoned. Her skin was still glistening with sweat, as she had been practicing her sword work, but she was never one to refuse a summons from Aiko, much as her servants begged her to wash and change into something more appropriate for her status. Though getting her in a dress was a fight that they had been waging fruitlessly for years, much to her fathers annoyance when he was alive. Now it was just her, and the company. She owned most of the iron mines in the fire nation, and as such, she was allowed her indulgences. The last people who had refused to deal with such a 'rambunctious' lady had found their companies going under without her companies products, and as such, very few questioned her anymore. She was a monster in the office, offering no mercy, only terms, unconcerned about making friends or deals, she preffered to keep her business black and white. Either it made her money, or it didn't and she would have nothing to do with it. Such policy's had led her to the head of the world, standing beside other economical tyrants, and granting her access to the royal family, where she had met Aiko....the first woman that Chen had ever actually felt...delicate with. The woman had a way of making you want to obey her, but not out of fear...it was something she had never understood and found intoxicating.
She stopped before the woman's door, before turning to look back at her servants. "Begone. When I need you I will call for you. Have dinner brought in a few hours with drink, and a fresh change of clothes. And don't even think about bringing a dress" she warned, growling at the pack of servants, who simply bowed their head before retreating. Anyone watching would wonder why they endured such treatment, but the servants all knew, trusted, and loved Chen. She had found just about all of them off the street, training them in self defense, or bending if they had such abilities. They wanted for nothing, and had far more freedom then most. Chen knew how to rule with fear, but she knew the people closest to you should love you, else you are begging for a dagger in the back, so for all her huffing and puffing, they all trusted her with their lives, and would fight at the risk of their own if it meant protecting Chen, likely the only reason so many assassination attempts had failed against her in a bid for her company and assets. Chen was many things, a fool was not one of them. "Oh, and have the new girl brought up as well after her calligraphy is finished. She shall be catering to me and Aiko tonight" she said with a grin before she stepped into the room, already peeling her clothes off as the door began closing.

Méiyǒu rén, literally translated to 'Nobody' but more commonly known as Mei, was exhausted, and bored out of her skull as she sat in class with an old woman who apparently loved to slap her knuckles with a brush whenever her lines weren't absolutely perfect. She had been found by Chen about a month ago on the streets, begging for change before she had been questioned by the local guards. She hadn't meant to hurt anyone but she'd gotten scared and let her fire escape from her, hurting one who was unprepared for her firebending. She was set to be imprisoned, before Chen had paid her pardon and taken her in as a servant. While she was grateful, she began to wonder if perhaps prison wouldn't be so bad as she yelped, her knuckles smacked once more by the old woman as she messed up on her lines, caught day dreaming. She endured a few more hits before finally it was over, and she began packing her items up. She stood, barely reaching five three, her long black hair flowing and shining like silk down to the small of her back, her full and pouting lips opening with a sigh of relief, before she began moving back to her quarters in Chen's guest chamber.
She found to her surprise everyone was waiting for her, and squeaked as she found herself being dragged away to a bath, where she was scrubbed clean with scented soaps, soaking in a scented bath, her hair brushed and treated as she was prettied up. She was dried off, and dressed in a simple soft blue kimono, held with a single belt around her midriff, the kimono itself holding tight to her form, showing off her hourglass curves, the neck dipping low enough to show just a hint of her bosom, her lips painted a soft red, her black eyes enhanced with a bit of charcoal pencil on her eyes, along with colored powder on her eyelids, a soft gold to make the black of her eyes pop a bit more. With a red flower tucked into her hair, she found herself being guided along before they stopped at a rather ornate door, with two guards on each side who just grinned down at Mei, who found it difficult to match their gaze, though that was true for everyone. She much preffered to just, blend in and disappear from everyone's view, and having the two tall and scary looking men staring her down had her squirming, before thankfully she found herself distracted as the other's began loading her down with a tray. On it were three bowls, three plates, and three cups. Then she was given a covered plate of food, and two bottles of chilled Sake. Before she could ask what was going on, she squeaked as she was pushed into the room. It was dark, but she could hear....voices, coming from the side chamber.
She moved over to set the tray down on the closest table she could see in the dark, before lighting her hand with fire to cast light. She moved over to the door, and pressed her ear to it, before she heard her Lady's voice, just singing, followed by splashing. So Chen was taking a bath, ah then she must be meant to prepare the meal for her Lady! Letting out a sigh of relief, Mei turned around, and screamed, jumping in surprise as she found herself standing before a familiar looking woman who was half naked and a solid head taller then her.
