12. one muse fights away enemies attacking the the other

It's a few more minutes before the straggling notes of an evil-warding song floats suddenly into the silence. Her face is RED, and her hands are shaking - the sustained music may be played with some unwritten vibrato, but she doesn't miss a note now that she has UNFROZEN herself, her gaze FIXED on the battlefield in the small clearing. It's a little embarrassing - both that her first instinct was to freeze in place, despite knowing perfectly well what she OUGHT to do - and that someone was there to rescue her, and therefore, witness it.

More night hunts, Su Xueqing resolves to herself, plucking the final notes of the song and watching with held breath until the attacking ghoul FINALLY, finally dissipates. She has to ease herself into it SOMEHOW. "...I...I'm sorry to have caused you some trouble..."
