Thanks, MizMickey!! It's especially useful when you want an in-between color that isn't a choice, but you're too lazy to blend the whole thing. :)

I like the pattern on the dress and the lace over-dress. A beautiful young widow.

Carefully, Kanu professes his ignorance of the politics of the north. "Why is all of this necessary?" he asks. "Didn't I tell you? My apologies!" says Jade Moon Shadow. "This town, the only real town in the hills, has four Gates, each with a princess. Then a queen rules over all four, but with their cooperation. Frost Flower was Princess of the Dawn or eastern Gate. Summer Wind is her legitimate heir. But the title has been usurped by Jade Black Rose, the Queen, who now holds all four."

"Yes, but it has not been said where your father was from. I think it would be best to have Blue Turtle Dreaming pretend to be your parent. You will therefore have darker skin, and clearly cannot be the daughter of the princess who married Silver Dagger." "All right," agrees the shaman. "If we had time for henna to develop on your skin, we'd use that, but as it is, I think my cabinet contains both bloodroot or madder, and saffron," says Moon Shadow, and they get to work. Parakeet is bored.

"You're married?" under his tan, Blue Turtle Dreaming is paler and more upset than anyone has ever seen him, although his tone is calm. "I am a widow. Jade Tiger was my late husband. I'm sorry; I'm so rude not to have asked all of you your names earlier, but it was absolutely imperative to get Frost Flower's daughter out of sight." Introductions are made, and then Summer Wind asks, "How do you plan to alter my appearance? It has already been said that my mother was from the northern hills."

"Oh?" says Summer Wind dangerously. "You're a fighter, then; that's just what my people need! But for now, you need a disguise so that my sister-in-law, the Queen, does not have you slain on sight, power or no power," the woman is urgently hurrying them towards a spacious building at the end of the street. "My house," she says, watching Parakeet look at the valuables with envy and avarice. "You should all be safe her for a time. Not too long, but long enough. I am Madam Jade, Moon Shadow."

When the gate opens, however, they find a belligerent eastern woman arguing with a native hill woman of about 28. "I am perfectly capable of conveying our GUESTS to my sister-in-law, Jade Black Rose, without your assistance. Go about your duties now, portress, and thank you," says the northern woman in clear dismissal. She looks longingly at Blue Turtle, and then holds out a hand to Summer Wind. "Sweet Heavens, child, you resemble your mother so closely. Something must be done about that."
