"Now that I've accepted… there's one thing you should know," said Kat as the chain lightshow died down. *Lily get ready.*
"Not to sound ungrateful…" said Xiang slowly, really trying to keep the annoyance from his voice, and mostly succeeding too, "but what is it? Surely if it was important it's something that should have been brought up before we agreed to anything,"
"Perhaps but…" *now.* Lily hopped of Kat's shoulder and transformed. Xiang took a panicked step back, pulled out his sword and getting into a ready stance. "This is my girlfriend Lily. She will be accompanying us," Xiang was frowning pretty heavily as Kat continued. "The reason I didn't inform you earlier is mostly due to the fact I wasn't going to give that information away if I didn't have to. Now we're working together… again… I feel like I do."
