She bows and leads everyone else through the doors.

"Wow, your gardens are amazing! No wonder they call you the Flower Lady." 

"Oh, it's, you know, something to pass the time. Nobody needs to know as much about flowers as I've figured out," she laughs softly. 

She leads them to a receiving room with a table and pours everyone tea. The tea is very fragrant and might smell just a little bit like some of the flowers. 

"Now. Tell me everything that's happened so far." 

Wen Ying considers that she and Lan Zhan are the ones who were around for most of what happened at Cloud Recesses, and considers Lan Zhan's taciturn nature, and the fact that she was around for the incident on the mountain all those years ago, and launches into an expository narrative that catches the Flower Lady up with everything anyone who's reading this thread would know. 

The Flower Lady sips her tea. 

"Interesting. That would explain the owl." 

Huaisang appreciates being filled in!!! Now he can stop pretending that he knows what the fuck is going on when he does not, and instead focus on pretending that he is absolutely supposed to be here and on this mission and knowing these things when he is not.

"The owl means that Wen Chao is near. He might soon come here and attack you."

"Hmm." 

She studies the five of them. 

"And you can confirm that to the best of your knowledge, this account matches reality, Lan-guniang, Nie-gongxi?"

"Yes."

"Me too," says Huaisang, like someone who totally already knew all of this information and has lots of confidence in it.

"Alright. Follow me. You can bring your tea if you haven't finished it." 

She leads them to a garden at the center of the complex. 

Walking up to the single largest bloom in the place, she extends her hand, and the piece of Yin Iron materializes above the flower and then floats over to hover above her hand. 

"If you've lied to me--about anything important, I won't care if I somehow learn that there weren't actually bunnies in that cave--I will hunt you down and make you regret it," she says levelly. "Clear?"

"Clear." 

"Lying is forbidden." She steps forward to accept the Yin Iron. 

She hands it over. "I understand, but this world contains plenty of hypocrites. Ask your friends in red about the Wen precepts sometime." 

Nod. "We here are truthful. Thank you, Lady Florist."

She cracks her knuckles. "You're welcome. Now get out of here before that impolite boy shows up and wants to know why the three of you didn't try to stop me from kicking his ass." 

"Yes, Ma'am!" He would really like to spend longer looking around these beautiful gardens but he would Really Really like to not get murdered by the Wen Sect. He's already on his feet and ready to go.

"Assistance is unwanted?"

"At the moment, yes. But it's sweet of you to offer." 

They all bow and thank her and depart. Both Yin Iron pieces are securely stowed in Lan Zhan's pouch, informing her that they would like to travel west.

Perhaps they take shelter for the night at the next town they find, going that direction?

"...Wait," she says, halting and looking around at the forest they're passing through. "I know where we are. I didn't realize--I wasn't looking at a map, but--"

"Yes."

"Where are we?"

"Home, A-Ning."
