Jing Qi smiles, just slightly, at the reaction. Zishu brings back memories, and gratitude, and he knows that this is very much not the time and place to stop for them, but here they are. And, no, Wu Xi is not with him. He will... think about that at a later time, also.

"Not nearly as well as you do, or Wu Xi, but I am more likely to hurt anyone attacking me rather than myself."

For a moment, Jing Qi straightens a bit more, looking mostly towards where people are moving than anything else.

"That way. Unless you have reasons to stay inside, yourself?"
