"You're a girl," the blind fortune-teller murmured, tracing the lines on Zhao Min's palm.

"I wouldn't have guessed that you need to be a fortune-teller to know that." Although she was dressed like a man - safer when you were traveling alone in a land where your people ruled another race that did not take to the fact kindly - she knew she would not fool anyone who bothered to take a closer look. Also, very finely tuned to sounds as the fortune-teller must have been, he would not fail to place her voice as belonging to a female.

"You're a foreigner."

"Is that so," she said, and made a mental note that she should work harder on polishing her accent.

He held her palm a moment longer, then released it. "You will have two or three girls to contend with before you can be with the man you love."

"That's amazing." It seemed that she was doomed to marrying one of those noblemen constantly surrounded by flocks of girls - but your fate was, after all, still subject to change.
