Oruu

In The Great Panda City, they say a good merchant sells trinkets, but a great one protects secrets. Oruu began by selling maps, their bowler hat a simple affectation as they watched travelers by the river. They saw more than most, charting the subtle currents of information that flowed through the city's bamboo-lined streets. One day, they noticed Pinku, who was not a customer but a secret looking for a place to hide. Oruu didn't offer a sword or a shield, but a perfectly timed distraction—a market stall "accident" that diverted the eyes of a Teikodian spy. That evening, trust was forged. These days, Oruu's maps are still for sale, but they are tools of misdirection, a quiet language shared only with Pinku. The coordinates to the sky drifters are safe, guarded by a polite smile and the tilt of a hat.
