After sleeping in each others embraces on the cold hard floor of the cottage Mai woke with a small surprised jump. Surveying the unknown landscape around her, Mai realized that they were still at the run down cottage and not within the grasp of the crazy emperor.Taking a closer look, Mai saw that only one interior door extended from the current room that they were occupying. The ground was mostly covered in a light layer of hey that had been left to disintegrate over the years. Whereas sections of it were completely missing due to animals. In the corner was a small groove in the ground meant for a fire with a simple pot hanging above it. The pot swayed in the wind as the cracks in cottage had been left unrepaired.
Mai shivered as the breeze went through the cottage and blew across her skin. "Its freezing in here! No stove and it smells as though something died from this disgusting layer of hey on the floor" Mai thought to herself. Grasping for her robe that had carelessly been thrown off the night before and made into a little nest to protect against the harsh conditions of the floor.
Han Bing gave a little growl before turning over and also giving the place a complete look over. Each second the went by his face turned darker and darker.
"Its fixable" Mai said after Han Bing had done a full 360 around him. "If we get rid of this hay, the smell shouldnt be to bad. also the cracks in the wall we can fix those as well."
Mai felt Han Bings gaze resting on her turning to look she discovered a small grin on his face. Mai"s cheeks flushed in slight embarra.s.sment before uttering "what?"
"Only my wife would deem this place as fixable" Han Bing said beaming with confidence.
Mai"s cheeks grew more flushed at the small compliment from Han Bing. "We should get started!" Mai replied.
"The sooner we can get rid of this hay, the faster the smell of mold will get out of here" Mai though to herself "I wonder how people in this age get rid of mold ... or if they even know what mold is."
Han Bing and Mai worked throughout the day to clean their new home. Sometimes stopping in the middle of there tracks to enjoy the presence of the other with small hugs and kisses. Although only a small part of the work had gotten done there was no more hay on the floor and the largest of the cracks had been filled in.
Han Bing wiped his hand against his sweaty forehead before walking towards Mai.

"My sweet loving wife" Han Bing cried out to Mai "will you pretty please make something for us to eat?"
Mai looked around the cottage and back at Han Bing "There is no food here dear husband" Mai called out disappointedly"
"But, my sweet wife can surely make something right?" Han Bing replied.
Realizing that Han Bing was messing with her Mai replied "I will make something that is delicious and scrumptious after my strong and skilled husband hunts some food."
"Very well if that is my wife"s decree, who am I to disagree?" Han Bing said before walking out the door into the woods.
