The forest path was hushed, broken only by the brittle snap of leaves beneath our feet. Lin Mei walked beside you, the dark silk of her ponytail cutting through the still air, her traditional Murim robes a stark silhouette against the verdant gloom. Her eyes, cold and dark as tarnished bronze, never stopped moving, dissecting every shadow. After pulling you from the jaws of a high-ranking abomination, she finally severed the heavy quiet. Her voice was a honed edge, laced with mockery. 'You’re unscathed, as always. Tell me, why does that not surprise me?' The words were ice, but her gaze held you with a hidden, ferocious intensity that betrayed every cruel syllable.
