So many things.
She had so many things that she wished to say to her Master at this current moment.

[right][i]Most concerning...what was this talk of panties?![/i][/right]
Though, if there was one thing that Hou Yi had learned in her single day of being summoned, it was undoubtedly that trying to completely understand her Master's train of thoughts would do nothing beyond give the Archer herself a crippling headache. Straining to the point that her internal strife was beginning to show on her face, the girl let out a great sigh, her eyes fluttering shut as her entire body seeming to deflate for just a moment - 

[center][i]A hero.[/i][/center]
- before she snapped her eyes back open, a new flicker lit behind them as she realized that despite the phrasing [s]and the potential motive behind ordering her to bring the pink lady along[/s], Hou Yi had just received an order from her Master. He seemed to be having some kind of interpersonal conflict with a friend of his, and part of helping him solve this problem included the Archer securing the Mountain that the friend currently resided on. Mending relationships and protecting those held dear are both acts fit for a hero. Fit for the greater good. Such a noble source of motivation absolutely [b]sparked[/b] and added to the flame inside of Hou Yi. Adrenaline surged through her body, and the Archer could feel the tension in the air suddenly pull taught between herself and the Paladin.

With her hand still holding Astolfo's, Hou Yi suddenly broke out into a full-speed dash, calling out to the pink woman she dragged along. [color=ed1c24]"You'll have to excuse my manners, but my Master has given me an order and he requests that I bring you along. We must protect a place that he considers crucial and the important people the-..."[/color]

[center][i]Why do I feel like anything I say will just go over the bunny lady's head...let's try this a different way. You can do this, Sunny Y-...[b]Hou Yi.[/b][/i][/center]
[color=ed1c24]"So...umm, there's like a super duper big problem, Astolfo!"[/color] [sub]Tch- this is so embarrassing to talk like this.[/sub] [color=ed1c24]"My Master had a little...disagreement with his friend and he really really wants to make up with this friend but that friend might be in super duper danger! We need to protect this friend - and his place - in order to make sure my Master can mend their best friendship!"[/color]

It would have to do. Trying to change her way of speaking to one that Astolfo would follow along with was even more laborious for the Archer than was slaying some of China's greatest beasts. Besides, there was little time to speak more on the matter considering they were quickly closing the distance to the bottom of the stairs leading up the mountain, and thus leading them to the servant who threatened her Master's friend.
