"Probably already halfway back to Zhao with his tail between his legs." The woman laughs meanly, flinging the fire at him. When it bounces back she has to jump out of the way with a yell of irritation.
Bitch you're just jealous you weren't the one fucking him Xie thinks - he does not send that thought over the link.
"If money's any indication, he wants you dead a lot more than he wants his pet back," she says, more fire gathering in her hands as she speaks "but that's probably because he doesn't need a bounty on Xie, that spoiled brat will go crawling back as soon as his fancy shampoo runs out."
For all that she's calling him a pet and making references to tails, Xie is fairly certain she doesn't actually know he's a Familiar. He doesn't know what story Yifu has told, but he suspects he's just accused him and Kevin of running off together. Probably with 'Scorpion'.
He'll be wanting to keep his secrets unless he can avoid it, still.
