Jing Shen

Shen hears the taping of shoe heels against the ground, he turns to look upon the newcomer. His eyes begin to adjust to the darkness. At the other side of the hall, barely illuminated by the light that originated from the fire conjurer’s hand, stood a curvaceous woman with hair of midnight, garbed in black leather which blended naturally into the shadows. Her face reflected a beautiful complexion, though her eyes shone a cold yet reflective stare. After a second of contemplating her appearance, she points limply at Shen and begins to speak. A mechanical drone huh? That would explain the scorched room and explosion.  Her voice sounds somewhat confused but honest. She doesn’t even know where she is let alone has ulterior motives for being here, strange. Plus, if she wanted him or the fire man dead, she would have at least already attempted it. Regardless, Shen notice her arms are close to her abdomen, meaning she is likely preparing to strike should the situation call for it. He doesn’t want to start a fight in these tight, confined corridors. A more cautious approach should be applied here. 

Shen slowly put his hands up, showing he is unarmed, then speaks softly and slowly. “To be honest we all seem to be lost in the dark at the moment. I heard an explosion, then came running to see if anybody was hurt. That's when I noticed him here (turns to face Samuel) perplexed and shocked but otherwise unharmed. Apparently a mechanical drone of some kind attacked these people here in the middle of the night and caught them with there pants down. A hooded man ran past me, warning me to get out while I still can. You probably met him on your way up here. As for who is in the other room, I have no idea, nor do I know how many others, residents or assailants, are in the house presently. I didn’t come here to harm anyone. I just came to learn.” Hopefully Shen can convince her regardless of her motives at the very least he is a man of reason and does not want to cause unnecessary harm.
