Liu Che is overwhelmed to hear news of his wife and comes out with
numerous questions. "Is she well? How is her leg? Last I saw her, she fell
and it must have been bruised. What about her - our - home? How is she
living? Oh, I've been unable even to send her coin, let alone a message...
Wait, she doesn't have .. ahh.. anyone else living with her now, does
she?"

"You must help me! I so much want to see her again. You will help me,
won't you? I saved your life, you owe me this much..."

Slightly embarrassed by his lack of manners and his emotional behaviour
Liu Che bows as well. "I am Liu Che, son of Li Chi, adopted son of Han
Wendi. I don't like war either, as it interrupts my work, most
terribly..." He waves a hand towards a large table where there is most
beautiful and elaborate cloth made into cloaks and hats.

"But I do like uniforms", he says with a little smile.

"Tomorrow... tomorrow you go see the Wizard. Tonight there are too many
ghosts on the street and they will try to kill you! But in the morning,
when the light shines, then you will be able to see the Wizard."
