[ Where the barrier seems to be struggling, the summoning is triumph enough to keep her nearly in a trance, but she looks to attention once pulled at.
Just as she looks his way, the mass of death drops and scatters, and where they aren't crushed beneath collapsing debris, some of the Deathstalkers seem to burrow and vanish where it's bloodiest. Their vibrations still return to her, humming into her bones, while the ones that have landed closest crawl across her skin. They skitter over her feet and along her arms, and she's quick to pull her hand away—if he doesn't first recoil—to instead hold out for one of the scorpions. It settles with something like a fond hiss before it melts back into her now ashen-pale skin.
They will all be back with her in only moments, leaving behind only the destruction brought about by Wangji's and their efforts. ]
...Thank you. [ But? ] You should not have done that.
