Su Fei. This here's Lairen. [She pats Lairen's flank in the space where Su Fei's leg might get in the way if, uh, one was there. Lairen gives another little huff of air.] Glad you're not worried about the formalities, 'cause you wouldn't've gotten them if you asked.

[She keeps that casual air about her in the way she positions herself, inasmuch as anyone can seem casual on horseback—or, flying-deer-horse-thing-back. Despite this, Lairen watches Annaliese carefully, a certain suspicion about her that Su Fei doesn't share.]

We're not usually in the business of taking passengers, I gotta say. Logistics aside, it's a vulnerable spot for us too, y'know. Besides, my girl doesn't care for strangers.

[Lairen does give another huff of air, as indignant as ever.]

What's got you so eager to take on outta here, huh?
