The younger sali nearly stomps on Ryo's foot as she tries to disarm Ryo by tugging on his wrist. (She's not doing a very good job of it.) "We didn't ask for outsiders to attack us or help us." All she wanted to do was her new job of keeping her woolie safe, and she has no idea where it has run off to in all this chaos. Now this outsider she has never seen before is acting like he knows everything and is threatening the other sali. "I was doing just fine not hurting anyone. We don't hurt each other."

Jingyi will have little trouble dodging or slicing the remaining arrows. Still, he may have to switch tactics as the older sali places a hand to the ground once he's out of ammo. Thorny vines burst from the ground, aiming to whip and restrain Jingyi.

The younger sali stops her struggle with Ryo at Jingyi's words. "H-How do outsiders know of the Forever One?"
