-oh wow, she's fast-
-it's hard to tell from behind her but-
-she seems very pissed-
-eventually another clearing comes up where...-
-Chen Gong is tied to a tree- Oh! Finally. I was worried you had decided to desert me...
-stops in her path, surprised- What...

What happened?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Well- clearly I've been... unlucky.
... Someone got to my father's horse.
It isn't here.
-spitefully- Yes... we've both lost, here. Even I- was taken by surprise.
Didn't expect bandits to be so well- coordinated. Being outnumbered didn't help matters, of course... Now, if you could both set me free- I think that'd be an excellent step forward.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post... He was defeated.
But not by us.
Why should we let him go?
-rolls his eyes- Because I'm much better to you alive, than dead... Though my strategies have- again- seemed to have gotten me nowhere due to bad luck.
I mean- you- man in armor. Must see that surely- I would be much more useful to The Daughter of Lu Bu if I was kept alive rather than killed- I could step back... and take on the- more suited position of Master Strategist rather than leader.
I mean- I am sure that you are much more capable than your fa-
-Lu Lingqi throws her Crosspike, it sticks into the tree, trapping Chen Gong's throat by two shafts-
-ther...! Al right. Rough area... Still. You seem much more- tactful than he was.
If you would listen to my plans... We could deliver the land to the next best person! You- the Daughter of Master Lu Bu!
Hmph. -still seems pissed-

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Finding the Red Hare will be difficult.
I've been like this for at least half a day...
-removes her Cross-Halberd from the tree-
... It'll be long gone by now.
Who were they?
Bandits, of some kind... they might have been wearing the colors of the Liu family.
Hmph. -relaxes slightly, looking depressed- They've taken it back, then.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post... They're not friends.
Yes... not friends of either of us. And- it was the efforts of Lingqi that took the Red Hare from the hands of Liu Bei's forces.
Which- might I add- was a very good result.
-sighs- I think I have no choice but to stay here now, then.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postOh. Well... that's okay. We have rooms and beds.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Like you said, he's no match for either of us. I don't want him dead. Let's take him back.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Hm.
No match in a fair fight...
-cuts the ropes- But I suppose he won't try anything.
-drops to the ground- Thank you, Master Lingqi! You have blessed me with freedom!
-picks up his scroll, and bows slightly- I denounce my previous ambition to try and take power for myself... I will now make my association- to you.
Hmph. Just don't get in my way.
-to Nimbus- Lets get back.
-sighs- Just like your father...
-starts walking-
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post... We'll find your horse, I promise.
...
What's a horse?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

-nods-
Yes.
-seems to notice something-
-she starts running down one of the paths-
-oh wow, she seems to be taking a lot more personally than how she was at the start-
