         Heng chuckled warmly, watching the girl run out of the room before he followed suit. He kept pace with her easily, but made sure to stay behind her a tad and watch for any pursuers. After she had slowed down, and eventually came to a stop, Heng allowed himself to rest as well, and leaned back against a tree. Regardless of them stopping, Heng made sure to still keep a careful eye out for any more chi-blockers.

"I appreciate your compliment. You may not have heard me back in that nasty building, so I shall introduce myself once again, and with greater detail. I am the great Heng Ling, traveling musician and mercenary! My songs bring enchantment and wonder to the masses! My combat prowess is widely renowned, and unmatched!"

By this time, Heng was nearly shouting. Hearing some twigs snap, however, shushed him almost immediately. He snapped to attention, and quickly pulled one of his hand bows out from his robes. He scanned the area, before realizing that it was probably just some small creature. He put the hand bow away, and got back into his comfortable lean.

Heng cleared his throat before continuing on, this time in a more quiet voice. "Sorry 'bout that. Thought I heard something. Now, where were weee... Oh, right! I'm Heng Ling, and I saved you because you needed saving. Simple as that, I suppose." He shifted a bit, and started fidgeting with his hands. He cracked his knuckles and finger bones, and started twiddling his thumbs. "To be honest, I woke up to a scream, which lead me to think something was going wrong. After I saw you getting carried away by those men, I had to do something. I'm not the kind of man who sits idly while strange men kidnap a girl for no good reason."

Once Heng had finished speaking, he scanned the area once again, before turning his attention to the girl.

"So... Heng Ling has introduced himself. Now, if he may, he'd like to inquire about who you are. If you don't mind, that is. I can understand if you aren't comfortable sharing anything about yourself; we did only just meet. A name will do, if nothing else. I'm not one to pry."
