As Ji Xiang tripped her way ahead, her slight arms carrying Sayn with surprising effortlessness, she heard the rush of air and occasional jostling of horsefeet behind her.
Four hooves. Whatever it is... it can't be that strange creature we met earlier. As she idly wondered what had become of Alri, it suddenly struck her that he could by some miracle have survived and was actually pursuing them! Even if this were true, there was of course the question of whether or not he was still welcome in the party.
Sayn really did seem quite reluctant to have bumped into him. She trusted her own gut feeling earlier. But what else was there to do? The road ahead was unknown, and she would bring herself and Sayn into further danger without realising it.
With a sigh, she inhaled deeply and made a sweeping twirl to the left, spinning herself and Sayn beautifully as she landed on the ground, well out of the way of the horse, that it would not collide into the two of them.
