Kyang used the opportunity of the various monologues to surreptitiously snatch up a crossbow and a quiver of bolts from a nearby bandit. The words exchanged seemed simply egocentric for a while, but the challenge of a duel against Xin brought Kyang to incredulity. The fact that Xin [i]accepted[/i] was even more maniacal.

"Huh!? These guys rob caravans and murder people and you're stopping to uphold honour!?" Kyang protested. Her words fell on deaf ears as she observed Xin pump himself up for the sake of intimidation, or something. "Ugh!" Kyang stomped up beside Torako and planted the other end of her glaive into the ground beside herself. It wasn't as if she was powerful enough to stop them. "This is a waste of time," Kyang complained quietly.
