Zhilhao Shuzi had run out of tea leaves, which was the only reason he decided to go into town finally. It had been a month since his master, who had raised him since the age of five, had mysteriously disappeared without a trace. During this time Zhilhao Shuzi continued the practices his master had left him with by gathering herbs to make various medicines and balms and in his spare time making various tea combinations, which he imbued with medicinal herbs. And now after a month of seclusion, his tea leaf stash had finally run out. Zhilhao Shuzi never really ventured to town, it was always his master who did that as everyone who wanted to buy from them usually just went right to them and they lived mostly on the land only leaving their forest occasionally to buy ingredients that couldn't be found near them. His master also had an ongoing monthly delivery of facial balms to the local courtesan parler, though he didn't particularly care if he lost their business because he had never been there before as his master always did these deliveries and also that he hated making cosmetics, however with the need to go into town to purchase tea leaves he decided he may as well also fulfill this order as he still had plenty of stock of it from when his master was still there. As Zhilhao Shuzi wandered into town he felt his back prickle with stares as those around him all turned to look, this was the main reason he never went into town as due to his unique and oddly beautiful appearance, long light brown hair that almost seemed to shimmer in the light and striking pink eyes, he always seemed to attract far too much attention whenever he went out. As Zhilhao Shuzi wandered to street trying to find the brothel to deliver his order he appeared to all observed to be very lost and confused and unfortunately as he turned down a narrow side street in hopes that he was going in the right direction he felt a sharp prick in his neck his vision wavered and before he could even try to move to pull out what he assumed was a needle in his neck his body lost all strength and he collapsed onto the ground hearing the faint sound of scuffling footsteps before his entire world went dark.
