She'd not go as far as to turn as she passed her, knowing that trying to keep on guard would be a worthless task.
"...I've thought about it plenty of times. But I doubt anybody can really imagine it..."
"No, you aren't dead yet, I'm afraid."
(Step after step, slowly circling the other in a fluid motion.)
"Death is... /much/ more terrifying than most believe~"

...Some masked individual in flashy clothing... those don't tend to bode too well at all.
She stares at them warily, yet doesn't make too much of an attempt to obscure herself. This wasn't a target, after all.

...It has been a while since she's properly engaged with people outside of regards to the the Shi. But for now, left on her own, she seems to have little choice.
"...You."
She speaks plainly from behindโwhen she got there can't be said for sure.
"...Yes... but, I thought I'd died already."
Or at least, experienced something akin to death.
There were questions rushing through her mind, yet she felt unsure if she should dare try to ask her.
Her wary eye doesn't stray away, and as she watched that encirclement... she was reminded of the true weight of the person around her. That outfit... her grip tightens.
Why was this the very first person she'd see?
โฆA mere hired killer in the company of an absolute executioner.
(She could practically taste the anxiety as she slowly circled around the other, like she held all the power in this situation.)
"You're right. The weight of death... Eventually, everyone has a permanent death, you and I included, and when it comes, there's no heavier feeling.."
โฆBeing so uncertain of her current circumstances as is, the intense stare laid upon her by this woman wasn't reassuring.
She grips the sheath of the sword she held, though not daring to make any threatening motionsโher one eye stares anxiously.
"...What is it? Who are you?"
