Post #2547267 in Avatar | The History That Was Forgotten, a roleplay on RPG

Please pardon the lack of proper formatting. We did not quite format our posts properly in RPGWrite and transferring it here was quite a pain. I apologize on both mine and Orokay's behalves if this is a nuisance to anyone. If not, please enjoy the story of Asad and Xue's adventure on a tale of redemption...

Xue listened quietly as Asad explained that other than the one incident, he had never fought Chi Blockers and didn’t not really know how. She nodded slowly, beginning to understand how crucial her role in Asad’s redemption quest she really was. As he spoke, Xue removed the comb from her hair and allowed it to tumble down around her back, shoulders, and face. Then, she pulled a ribbon out of her travel back and tied it back up in a tight bun. If they were to find themselves facing a fight any time soon, she wanted to avoid having it loose, even if it meant it would make her more recognizable. Xue looked up at Asad who had stopped speaking and was actually looking at her for once. She gave him a small smile and he quickly turned his eyes away again and took a swig of his drink. She shrugged off his strange behavior once more and followed as he lead the way out of the alley.
Asad explained his method of looking for the man and while Xue didn’t find the plan to be very sound, she didn’t tell that to Asad. As they walked through the streets, Xue kept to the shadows until she spotted a small clothing stall with straw hats on display ahead. As they passed the stall, she discreetly slid a hat off of the display when the vendor wasn’t looking and placed it on her own head. Hopefully the hat would do enough to hide her identity from anyone at first glance.
They were walking past a building when Asad finished explaining how he’s lead to believe the man was in the Earth Kingdom currently when the two stopped. A conversation on the other side of the wall caught the pair’s attention and they listened closely as the strangers’ words gave them a new lead.
Asad faced Xue and gave her a grin, "Forget what I said about luck not being on my side. I have a lead." Xue returned the smile and nodded, then followed Asad as he led her back to the Avatar so that he could deliver her a message on a stone tablet.
When the message found its way to Kasumi’s feet, Asad turned back to Xue, "Come on, Xue. We have a lead to follow..."
Xue nodded and followed him as he turned and left. As they entered the market of the town, Xue pulled down the front of the hat a bit more to shade her face and then broke away from Asad to an old jewelry merchant who sent a big toothless smile Xue’s way at her approach. Xue decided to use her acting skills to get some information off of the woman and put a scared, desperate look on her face.
“Are you okay, young lady?” The old woman asked, her smile fading at the distraught look on Xue’s face.
She willed a few tears to escape her eyes and shook her head vigorously. “I… no, I’m not. I just heard about the town being attacked by Chi Blockers.” She let a wimper escape and the old woman came around the stall and patted Xue’s back.
“Shh shh.. we’re safe here. The Earth King sent extra guards not too long ago, after the last attack.” She cooed, trying to comfort Xue.
“I’m n-not afraid for myself. It’s my h-husband and my baby g-girl. They went to visit Tai Yang’s parents in the village. I want to g-go see if they’re okay b-but I don’t know the way.” She let out a heart breaking wail and buried her face in the woman’s shoulder.
“Shh I’m sure they’re fine. Here, I have a map in my stall, I’ll mark the town for you.”
“W-would you?”
The woman nodded and went back to her stall and pulled out an old map and some ink and marked a village not too far away before handing it to Xue. “Just be careful, okay?”
Xue nodded and thanked the woman before turning back to the street and catching up to Asad. She wiped her face off casually and then held the map in front of her so that they could both see. “The Weifei village,” she read, “it looks like a day’s walk from here. We’ll have to camp somewhere or stay in one of the villages in between in a few hours, the sun’s beginning to go down already and the roads aren’t safe at night, especially with Chi Blockers about.”

Asad had remained off to the side and watched his partner's little demonstration. It was impressive to say the least. There were several other thoughts that went through his head, some more decent than others. Though none were incredibly too indecent. She was quite the actress and he was wondering if that was part of the Chi Blocker training. Would that be something that they encounter when they chased after their target. Would this man be a good actor? He would try and keep this in mind for the inevitable encounter. She returned to him with a marked map and information, to which he raised an impressed eyebrow. "Incredible, Xue... It seems I made a good decision in asking you for help." He would memorize the map at least to get out of town and on the right path and keep his eyes away from her. Though the hat concealed her face as well as his did, the image of her with her hair down was still ingrained into his vision, captivating his memory. Why was he so interested in that? Women had never bothered him before. It had to have been the drink. That was it. He nudged with his head for him to follow her. Within minutes they were at the gates to the town here. He exited without any hesitation, happy to be away from anyone that might recognize him.
He let out a visible sigh of relief. The area outside of the town felt like home. The sky was blue, the grass was green, and there was a beautiful winding dirt path before them. Tipping up his hat, he took a deep breath through his nose and held it, exhaling it happily after. "This area... It reminds me of my youth. The open fields, the blue skies... It brings me back to a time of peace and relaxation. I really do long for that once again." He would tip his hat upwards so that it rested on the back of his neck and enjoyed the feeling of the sun on his face. Even the scar across his nose felt the warmth and comfortable. "One day I will be able to again... I hope you will join me if we succeed. I will owe that to you at least. Some drink and relaxation. I know it is not much... But I will find a proper way to repay you someday." His voice, however familiarly dark, was actually optimistic and honest, hopeful. A soft smile spread across his lips, one that almost seemed weak. He seemed to look at her easier as he did so before nodding and turning around in silence and setting out on the winding path before him. If they did not make it to the next village in time, he could easily bend them a makeshift tent or two. If they did, they'd get a nice bed to sleep in. Shouldn't be more than a few coins anyway. With a few hours of travel, the only thing that would get in the way is an interruption from an outside source. Otherwise, they would get there at about dusk....

When the pair reached the village limits, Xue saw a visible change come over Asad. He appeared much more relaxed and calm and she watched as he took a deep breath of air and let his hat fall to his neck. She smiled, feeling a similar sense of relief at being away from people who could potentially recognize her. She removed her own hat from her head and tied it to one of the straps of her bag. The sun felt warm on her skin and Xue closed her eyes as she walked and breathed in the country air.
"This area... It reminds me of my youth. The open fields, the blue skies... It brings me back to a time of peace and relaxation. I really do long for that once again." Asad said, and Xue nodded in agreement for she,too had grown up in a remote Earth Kingdom village, at least she had until her family joined the Chi Blockers. "One day I will be able to again... I hope you will join me if we succeed. I will owe that to you at least. Some drink and relaxation. I know it is not much... But I will find a proper way to repay you someday."
Xue chuckled, “I think that’s a perfectly fine form of payment.” She argued, opening her eyes and looking over at Asad. He had a soft smile on his face, one that looked incredibly vulnerable, and Xue felt her lips pull down in a frown. She didn’t feel that she deserved the trust that he was putting in her, the openness and vulnerability that he was readily showing and the thought made her feel incredibly guilty for some reason. This time it was she who couldn’t look at him for too long.
The rest of the trip was relatively quiet and they made it to a small village called Shanyi shortly after dusk, tired but content. Xue didn’t find the silence between them to be awkward, in fact it felt quite the opposite. She found that she was very comfortable around Asad despite only knowing him a short time. After speaking to a farmer, they were pointed in the direction of the inn and made their way to it.
The inn was small with only a few rooms, most of them taken up by soldiers who seemed to have the same idea as Asad and Xue about getting to Weifei due to the attack. As soon as they entered the inn, Xue put her hat back on and kept to the less well lit areas of the room as she made her way to the innkeeper, a large, homely woman with a wad of chewing leaves between her teeth. Xue counted out a few coins and paid for their room and then guided Asad there. There were two small beds, a dresser, and a rickety stone chair. She tossed her bag onto the chair and then sat on the bed farthest from the door and began unlacing her shoes, eager to get off of her feet and get some rest.

As they made their way into the small village known as Shanyi, Asad would put his hat back on and tilt it forward. Keeping his face concealed, that signature scar, was vitally important. He would follow Xue around snce she seemed to know where they were going and that led them to an inn. His body felt tired from the day's ship ride and the walking and he didn't have nearly enough alcohol in him to not care about it. She even paid for the room without even consulting him about it. He would have to attempt to slip some coins back into her purse later to compensate. Making a woman pay his way felt wrong to him somehow, unchivalrous. And following her lead still, she would guide him to their room. When she opened it up, there were two beds. It was only then that he realized that they were to be sharing a room. He tipped his hat completely over his face to hide the embarassed expression he now wore. At least there were separate beds. He may not have any real experience with women, but he certainly was not so ignorant as to what a man and a woman in the same bed might be doing... He did not want her thinking that he was thinking about doing such things.
She took to a bed naturally, leaving one open. He did not care which he took, so long as he got one. He rested down on the other bed and rested his elbows on his knees, removing his hat and placing it beside him on the bed. His fingers would run through his long, brown knotted hair to get it out of his face as he worked it back into his big, poofed ponytail. It felt more comfortable to him like this than it did down. It was what he had grown accustomed to. His eyes wandered over to his companion who had begun undoing her shoes. Eyes averted instantly to focus on something, anything else... The stone chair that held her things. That would suffice. "You know... Xue. I feel like I should tell you..." That you look lovely. That was what he wanted to say. But the thought of drawing her in too close, especially too fast, was suddenly terrifying. "I.. should... tell you that you are good traveling company. Yes. And... That you..." He would sigh and lay down on the bed, facing the wall. "You should teach me some common techniques of Chi Blockers. To help me in the fight. I suppose that's all. Goodnight." And that was it from him. He would shut his eyes tight with his head on his arm and attempt to let sleep take him. Sleep, unfortunately, did not seem to be too welcoming a host tonight. Too many things occupied his mind. Primarily two faces: Xue, and the Chi Blocker. One that represented a friendship and companionship he had longed for all too long... and one that represented his stolen honor, and a need to be brought to Justice. This was about to be a large step in Asad's life. He wasn't even too sure what he would do with his regained freedom and honor beyond helping the Avatar when he was done... But being close enough to having it tasted sweet.
Sweeter than any booze.

Xue tugged off her shoes once they were unlaced, then stretched out her legs in front of her, hearing the crack of her joints as she did so. "You know... Xue. I feel like I should tell you..." The Chi Blocker turned her eyes up towards Asad who looked more uncomfortable than ever, though she had not the slightest idea why. She shifted her bottom on the bed, it wasn’t the most comfortable but it wasn’t as unbearable as the look on his face would lead one to believe. Perhaps he had a rock in his shoe. She waited patiently for him to continue, tugging the ribbon out of her hair as she did so and combing through the knots with her fingers. "I.. should... tell you that you are good traveling company. Yes. And... That you..."

She raised an eyebrow and wondered Asad was planning on getting to the point any time soon.

"I.. should... tell you that you are good traveling company. Yes. And... That you..." He let out a sigh and laid down on the bed with his back facing her. She swallowed down a bit of annoyance, assuming that he wasn’t going to finish his statement, but he finally did. "You should teach me some common techniques of Chi Blockers. To help me in the fight. I suppose that's all. Goodnight."

Despite the previous annoyance, Xue smiled. He was probably nervous to ask her because he was such an accomplished warrior that it would hurt his pride. “I don’t mind teaching you. I’ll explain what I can to you on our way to Weifei.” She began weaving her hair into a braid and as she worked she added, “I think you’re good travel company as well, Asad. I feel more comfortable around you than I do with the others, though that’s probably because both Kasumi and Keirin seem to hate me.” She chuckled bitterly at the thought. “Anyway, goodnight to you, too.” She leaned over and blew out the lamp on a stone table between the two beds, then laid back and fell into a dreamless sleep.
---
The sun was just beginning to rise when Xue awoke, and she sat up and stretched. She then got up and nudged Asad’s back lightly with her hand. “We should probably get going soon if we want to get the town before evening.” She explained, pulling the braid out of her hair and putting it back up in its signature bun, then putting her shoes back on and heading to the door. “They have breakfast in the common area, meet me down there when you’re ready.” Xue then pulled her bag off of the chair and left Asad to the room.

Out in the common area, Xue sat a bit away from the rest of the diners and picked at a pastry while she waited for Asad to come out.

She felt more comfortable with him than the others. Was Xue allowing herself to become closer to him? Was she doing it intentionally? He could only pass it off as he was treating her like any other person, and not because she actually enjoyed his presence all that much. But those questions would luckily not bother him too long and sleep would eventually take him. Unlike Xue, Asad dreamed. Against the norm, his dreams were more pleasant. Visions of his restored honor and the Chi Blocker in shackles would tantalize his senses, creating images worth chasing after. There were other scattered pleasant dreams throughout his sleep, but none came close to as perfect as that one. For the first time in a while, The Wanderer would sleep soundly.
--
A sharp breath would come into Asad as the nudge would stir him from sleep. Not even close to half-awake yet, he would murmur "Mmkaydear.. I'll cut 'im down quick and protect the family..." He hadn't yet woken from his dream. He would only come to after she left. With a yawn and a groan from his stretch, Asad would do a quick morning warmup workout. A few simple push-ups and stretches before he would stare at the door with a blank expression. "Right... Today's the day." That comment would be followed with a burning throat as he downed a swig of his liquor and tucked away his flask. Heading out to the common area, Asad would simply swipe some bread and motion for Xue to come with him now. He exited the inn and had already begun walking towards the next set of village gates. He was eager to leave. And today, his sword felt lighter than it normally did on his hip. Would the spirits smile upon him today and grant him his justice? He could only pray. "Xue. Last night." He began speaking before clearing his throat. His voice had given out at the end of his addressal there. "I wanted to tell you also that you looked like a real Earth Kingdom woman. The look... It suits you." That was about as close to complimenting her the way he wanted to as it would get.
--
The rest of the trip would consist of small talk, brief Chi Blocker tutorials and a decent amount of silence. Asad felt a bit more prepared, but he would be lying if he said that every step closer did not make him more nervous. There was plenty that could go wrong... But Xue was a good presence. Every now and then he would quickly gaze at her and draw his mind away from that. Trained warriors like him are never supposed to show fear. But that did not mean that they did not feel it. And when they finally approached the next village, approached Weifei, he was both terrified of failure and ready to obtain victory. The gates were guarded, unsurprising after their most recent attack.
"Halt. What business have you in Weifei?" A green-clad guard would stop them as they arrived. Asad responded without hesitation.
"My wife and I have been travelling through the night, trying to find a spot to rest. We only seek an afternoon's reprieve. Please... She is with child."
The guard raised an eyebrow at Xue in inspection before shaking his head and permitting them entrance. "Just be on your toes.. You've no doubt heard of those god damned Chi Blockers."
Asad would nod with a wave, keeping his head down as he did so. "Yep. I've heard of them. Don't you worry about us. At ease." Entrance. They had their foot in the door, literally. Now all that was left was to find that bastard and take him down. It was a pretty large village. One on the outskirts of the city Asad served years ago. It was likely that he woul be recognized if he slipped up in his disguise. His head would certainly not raise. "Xue... Could I ask you to ask around? I do not wish to be recognized by anyone." As if by a cruel stroke of fate, he would notice a wanted poster for himself. A few years younger. Clean shaven. Sober. He scoffed at it, as if his past was tormenting him intentionally. He ripped it from the wall and crumpled it up, tossing it into a nearby alley. "I'm going to go search for clues myself..."

Xue sat and nibbled on her pastry for a few minutes as she waited for Asad to emerge. She thought of the look on his face as she nudged him awake. There was a calmness, a peace that she hadn’t seen before and that made him look years younger. She hoped that, in regaining his honor and taking down the Chi Blocker who stole it from him, a bit of that peace would return. It was a good look for him. A small smile touched her lips at the memory, and then the sound of someone’s approach caused her to look up. Asad held some bread in one hand and used the other to motion for Xue to leave with him. Though she would’ve been more than happy to stay for a bit to eat, she understood the urgency that Asad felt to complete his mission.

Despite the great weight upon his shoulders at the importance of the day, Xue was pleased to see that Asad seemed to be in good spirits. "Xue. Last night." His voice broke the silence and Xue turned her gray eyes up to look at him. He cleared his throat before continuing, "I wanted to tell you also that you looked like a real Earth Kingdom woman. The look... It suits you."

Xue was caught off guard by the compliment and she felt her cheeks warm so she quickly looked down to hide it. “I… thank you, Asad.” She laughed lightly, “I would hope that I look like an Earth Kingdom woman, I am from the Earth Kingdom.” When she felt that her cheeks were no longer red, she looked back up at him with a smile.
--
The trip was quiet and mostly relaxed. Xue was never one for small talk, but she attempted at conversation to try and take Asad’s mind off of stressing about the upcoming fight for his honor.

All the while, her mind kept returning to the compliment that he gave her earlier. It was just an innocent comment, but there was something about it that made her see Asad in a different light. Every once in a while, Xue would look over to him. Occasionally the two would look over at the same time and then turn away their gaze. She even found herself walking a bit closer to Asad than they had on their way to Shanyi.

They eventually made it to the gates of Weifei where a guard questioned the two and Asad gave a quick, sound answer without hesitation. The guard accepted his story without much skepticism and allowed the two into the village.
Once inside, Asad turned to Xue and asked if she would be the one to ask around to prevent anyone from recognising him. As soon as he finished speaking, they both caught sight of a wanted poster with his name on it. If not for the name, Xue doubted she would have recognized him. The man in the picture was nothing more than a boy, clean and seemingly invincible. The man before her, while strong and admirable in his own way, paled in comparison. With a scoff, Asad tore the paper from the wall and tossed it into an alleyway after crumpling it up.

Xue felt the need to comfort him, but did not know how. "I'm going to go search for clues myself..."

She frowned, but understood that Asad probably needed some space. “Be careful. If you see someone or something suspicious, find me. If you’re cornered, call me. I’ll stay in the area so I can hear you. Just..remember what I taught you.” She bit her lip, considering her next course of action before approaching Asad and wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug. “Be careful.” She repeated into his ear, “you’re so close. It’s almost over. Just remember, you don’t need to fight alone and I’ll be right around the corner if you need me.” Xue hesitated, then gave him one final squeeze before letting him go, giving him a nod, and turning to question some of the villagers per Asad’s request.

Asad barely had any time to comprehend what had happened when her arms wrapped around him and kept him snug in her embrace. "Be careful." She would tell him. Touches of red would rush to his tanned cheeks as instinct would only allow him to wrap his larger arms around her and return the hug. He would say only, "We will find victory today. There is no question about that." He would give another squeeze in unison with her, regretfully relinquishing his hold on her. Letting her leave and turn away felt... heavy. As if somehow, having her on him made him lighter and removing her somehow made gravity worse on him. It was confusing. And it would not be false to say that it distracted him from his main objective for a bit."Perhaps... after all of this is through, we may embrace like that again." She was already too far away to hear that, which is perhaps the only reason he felt comfortable saying it aloud.

A soft sound behind him like a rock skipping over stone would cause him to sharply turn around, blade pointed ahead. He did not even remember drawing his blade. Like always, it just seemed to be drawn in a flash on its own. There was nothing to be seen, though. Nothing apart from a rat that had been scavenging for food. He let out a held breath and shook his head, lowering his blade but not sheathing it. He was in a state of mind where he felt like he was prey, not the predator. This situation had presented itself too many times. Going further down the alleys alone did not help. There wasn't any real way they would know that he was coming for them, unless they had eyes and ears all over...

Okay, so they probably knew that he was coming. Especially if he was still in the village... The air back here felt heavy. And everything was far. Too. Quiet.

And only the sound of metal slicing through the wind, then fabric and flesh would resonate for a split second in the alleyway... followed by two bodies falling to the ground. It would seem that no matter how little practice the blade saw, it naturally took to killing. When Asad turned around and sheathed his blade, he inspected his assailants. Two women, both of them in Chi Blocker attire. They had attacked from the rooftops. They were sloppy, probably not even fully trained, and were able to both be taken out in one swipe. "Hmph." Asad grunted and took a step backwards to turn away. A gasp for breath stopped him from moving as one of the girls tried to cling onto life. Asad would look down on her, a rather unpleasant gleam in his eye. A threatening one.
"P... Please..." She begged, red trickling down from her mouth.
His gaze did not waver, he would only ask, "Where is he? Your leader. Tell me and I will consider assisting you."
"T-The warehouses! Far edge of town..." She would cough, sending a spurt of blood forward. It would fall just before Asad's feet.
Asad would nod and kneel beside her. Cutting clothing off of the ther girl, keeping his eyes on the living one the whole while, he used the cloth to tie around her and add pressure to the wound. "Leave the Chi Blockers. I will call my friend here to take care of you." True to his word, he called Xue's name. Once she would arrive, Asad would explain to her the attack and the information leak. Turning away from her, he would say, "Take care of the girl. And when you're done... meet me at the warehouses." Giving her a glance, he would shake his head at his own thoughts and break off into a run. His hand would never leave the handle of his blades as he did so...

Xue was speaking with an elderly man when Asad’s voice calling out her name. He didn’t sound upset, but she quickly cut off the conversation and turned and ran towards the alley where they had departed. He hadn’t gone far and she saw his muscled form leaning over a young girl with the build and clothing of a Chi Blocker. She was alive, though only through luck, her friend was not so lucky.
They were the enemy. Xue told herself, though the words didn’t stop the sickness in her stomach at the sight of the girls. She didn’t recognize them, but she saw her old self in them and knew that it could have just as easily been her if she hadn’t left the Chi Blockers only a few months ago. Her mind wandered to the not so recent past and it was only when Asad’s voice came through to her that she realized that she had been standing at the entrance of the alleyway still and pale as a ghost.
"Take care of the girl. And when you're done... meet me at the warehouses." She blinked at him a few times and then nodded slowly. It wasn’t until the sound of Asad’s footsteps faded away that she snapped out of it and rushed to the girl’s side. She took the girl’s small hand and held it in one of her own, then looked down at Asad’s crude bandaging. The blood was already beginning to soak through and the cloth he had used was thin and dirty. If anything it would just make things worse. Xue quickly undid the bandaging and looked over the wound. It was nasty, but she’d seen worse. She pulled the girl’s clothes away from the cut and took out her water skin from her bag, pouring out its contents on the girl’s stomach. She then removed her sash and wrapped it tightly around the wound. The girl whimpered, and Xue sent a sad look up at her. “You’re going to be okay.” She promised, though she wasn’t so sure. The girl obviously couldn’t ask for help, her clothes bared the colors of a chi blocker and Xue’s wrappings weren’t going to be enough. She needed a healer.
Finally, an idea came to her. She gently undid the fastenings on the girl’s red and black robe, and removed it. The girl looked shocked and afraid, but too tired to say anything. Understanding came into her scared eyes when Xue removed her own robe with colored with the traditional Earth Kingdom greens. She helped the girl sit up and then assisted her into the robe, fastening the robe shut. Xue herself would be fine without it, she had a pair of trousers and a green undershirt and she would tolerate whatever looks came her way. Finally, she pulled the ribbon out of the girl’s hair, allowing it to tumble around her shoulders and face in long, black ringlets. When the disguise was as good as it was going to get, Xue helped the girl up and half carried her into the square.
“Help! Help!” She called, willing tears into her eyes, “my cousin was walking home when she was attacked! I found her lying in the street, they left her there to die!”
A man ran over and helped Xue with the girl’s weight while a woman in water tribe colors came over and looked at the red seeping through Xue’s robe on the girl. “Can you speak?” The woman asked, leading the group over to a small house. The girl looked terrified and Xue understood that she was afraid to say something wrong and get found out, so Xue cut in, “she’s mute, she hasn’t spoken since my aunt died.”
“Poor child. I’ll see if I can help her. Take her over there and lay her in the pool.” As they entered the house, Xue saw that the main room was set up like what you might see in a Water Tribe healing tent with a large, clear pool in the center. Xue and the man took her there and laid her in the water as the woman had instructed.
“I..I hate to leave her just now but.. my husband and little boy are out there, I want to go make sure they're safe.”
The woman nodded, she had already begun helping the Chi Blocker and was obviously preoccupied. “I’ll send her home when she’s strong enough, she’ll be safe here.”
For some reason, Xue was glad that the girl would be okay and went out of the home feeling conflicted about her feelings. It had been Asad who had cut down the two girls. While they had probably attacked him first, they were obviously novices. Neither of them put up any fight and he probably could have easily knocked them out. Although, if it had been anyone else in his same situation she knew that they would have shown no mercy to the young Chi Blockers.
There was also the fact that Xue had never fought her own people before. She knew that with her mission with the Avatar she would have to and had been at peace with it, or so she thought. The encounter with the young girl had shaken her and she wasn’t sure that she was as detached as she had thought. She didn’t want to let Asad down but that one encounter left her shaken and unsure of herself.
Suddenly, the image of Asad beside the old wanted poster came to her. The broken look on his face and the tug that she felt in her heart when their eyes met on the road made her reconsider her feelings. These Chi Blockers broke him for no reason, they destroyed his life and brought him down this path. Perhaps the old Asad would have thought twice before attacking the two girls and in that sense the Chi Blockers waiting at the warehouse had surely brought it upon themselves, right? This was what Xue would have to go with and she quickened her strides gradually until she was full out sprinting to the warehouse.
She reached the warehouse a bit after Asad due to her detour with the Chi-Blocker. Rather than barge in, she decided to take a less direct route and find an enterance that she could sneak into and find where Asad was. The place was big, but a warehouse is a warehouse and there weren't many rooms so she quickly found the one where Asad was. She found a spot up high and behind a few crates that she could watch the goings on without being seen. When the fight broke out she'd be ready to swoop in and assist with the element of surprise on her side.
