[The feeling of being touched and then pulled off the road nearly causes Sunny to jump out of his skin. His heart pounds in his chest violently for a moment or two, as he clutches at it and tries to steady his breathing. He recognized the voice and when he looks up he realizes it's Xie Lian.
That eases the tension in his shoulders further, though he still appears on edge.]
Xie Lian. [That's all he can manage for a second, resting his back against the wall of the alley. There's the sound of something heavy landing near them, as the stench of blood becomes nearly unbearable. Crunching and gurgling noises follow and Sunny doesn't want to look at what could be causing them. There's very real fear on his normally impassive face.]
Is that... a beast? [He breathes it, voice low. He hadn't encountered one yet. He had hoped not to at all.]
