[She can't fault that in the slightest. But let's find out--has A-Qing been pointed to replacement clothing yet? Because if not they've got some houses to loot, nobody deserves to be wandering around in that...]
A-Qing... that's your name? Pleasure. I'm Alisaie.
[Frowns... she doesn't feel right just letting her wander off by herself, but she also Knows how frustrating it is when people won't just let you get on with things.]
Would you be opposed to a bit of company? I've been making a round of the city myself; it's how I chanced to run into you.
Those menaces are terrible. [ she's talking about the npc kids ] I bet they did it!
[ she mutters even more angrily about it ]
I thought about asking them for help but all they did was throw rocks instead! [ cōng ming mrows from her ankles too, the fluffy cat tail floofed in irritation at getting the brunt of it ]
Well, if you like, I'd be happy to give them what for. I had a mind to talk to them anyway; I can certainly frighten one or two as part of the bargain.
[But also... yeah. Why did they decide to bring her here, of all people...?]
Those that brought us here have quite a bit of explaining to do when I find where they've hidden themselves away. I wouldn't write you off as an easy target; quite the opposite, in fact.
You're not the only one worried. To be pulled to a strange realm is worrying enough, but to be pulled here and learn that the forces which did so won't even deign to speak to you... it bodes ill for whatever means to occur.
If you can defend yourself, however, that certainly will serve you well. Do you use your stick, or do you practice the arcane?
[She's kind of expecting the latter, given???? But y'know, if Y'shtola can see where things are with her aether, she wouldn't be surprised if A-Qing could too.]

I would not mind such. After all, sister Alisaie can see the traps I cannot.
[ mutter, grumbles about that confession. her independence!! ]

If we find any more, we'll figure out a way to dismantle them. You have the right to explore the city as much as any of us.
If I find just who decided it would be a good idea to place these...
[Do they really think they're going to catch any spectres that way...]

The children? But why would they throw rocks at you?
[UH????]
no subject
[ she huffs ]
I bet it's like everyone else! Just cause I can't see they think I'm an easy target!

A-Qing has learned well how to defend herself.
[ but that being said!! ]
Those who are here, those guardians..? It scares me to know they know as a little as we do.

[ she laughs, incredulously ]
No! A-Qing is not a cultivator.
no subject
[????? she doesn't think she said anything funny????]
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the term.
no subject
One must be part of a sect to learn such things.
[ she sounds very amused about the very idea ]
no subject
And what must needs one do to be part of a sect?
In my home, any being can learn to utilize the arcane. Its secrets can be used for far more than fighting walking corpses.
[Which. Horrifying, tbh? But it's happened.]
no subject
One requires forming a golden core. How do to so.... A-Qing is unsure.
[ but oh... to think anyone could learn..! "what about the More Than Walking Corpses thing A-Qing?" eh, if yiling laozu can do it so can anyone else ]
Though, to imagine! Even someone like I could learn..!
