Of all the people Ayin expected to see, Tony Stark wasn't one of them. "Um ..." Ayin blinked at him for a moment and then consulted her ledger. "Well--she has a few hours this afternoon, but she's, um." She lowered her voice a little. "You might not want to see her. She, er, she's having a bad month."

Ayin didn't have the details. Some people said it was the gambling at the race. Some people said it wasn't. Whatever the case, Zanru was avoiding Xuiyu, who was usually the person to talk her down.

Adding to the mix the Foreigner who'd been such a pain? Probably not a good idea. Even though Tony was on contract, Ayin knew he hadn't made a private appointment with Zanru since before the contract had been made. She'd been relieved by that.
