[There really is something about that more authoritative voice that stops Faye in her tracks enough to breathe -- and perhaps more importantly to focus. They're safe. Precautions have been taken... and she takes a moment to just let herself lean against the outer wall of a closed business.]
I'm... [The pause is probably quite a clear 'not really'.] ... outside. I wasn't in any danger -- I'm not in danger now I don't think... I was with my friends and when we heard what sounded like... like gunfire we split up.
[She takes another breath since she can feel her words speeding up a little.]
... the sounds aren't too close to me... [Close enough!] and Dan Heng offered -- but I wouldn't want to intrude so...
[... she isn't used to having people looking out for her yet -- at least who aren't Leon or their parents.]
[ the fact he can hear the sounds means that whatever is going on is already too close to her. she is only a young girl and unlikely ready for combat like this, regardless of who she had been in her last life. ]
You won't be intruding, Faye. [ that is not something Jing Yuan will allow her to entertain for long. ] This is not the time to be out in the city on your own, especially if the fireworks are little more than a cover for an attack.
[Honestly part of her wants to insist she's fine, she's only something like a thirty minute walk from her apartment... give or take. But at this point, this month has been weird and she's been weaker and more tired than usual... to the point it was scaring her a little by being all too familiar.
But it was one thing to visit her friends and another to visit people romantically involved with each other, right? Wouldn't that be intruding???
... still in the end, after a few minutes and a little walking to reach the nearest corner, she sends another message -- and certainly is letting herself sound a little more worn out.]
I... can usually protect myself, and I'm not too far from home, but... [But she's tired, and she didn't exactly bring the swords Blade gave her when she went to watch fireworks.] I'm near the center of shopping street -- um... by the corner of the seven star mall nearest the pawn shop? But I don't have anything really with me...
