Wan had heard the call for help, too - not from the spirit in trouble but from a smaller spirit that had been with it and managed to make it to the vines that were so close. He followed the spirit through the streets to the alleyway and made it there just as the woman slammed one of the human boys against the wall. The small spirit that had been leading Wan gave a surprised squeak and darted away, hiding itself so it didn't draw her ire.

Wan could tell the woman wasn't an ordinary human, if she was human at all. Was she the spirit that had been in trouble? He couldn't see anyone else there and if she had been the one the spirit said was attacked, she definitely had a right to defend herself.

"What's going on here?" He called out in a demanding tone, trying to grab the attention of everyone in the alley.
