[ His fist goes unnoticed, but his protective positioning does not - not that it seems to matter because with some quick steps, she catches up to walk beside Daqiang. Orchid stays within arm's reach of him, even if it means having to walk a bit faster. It says that she is well-aware of why he's so alert and ready to protect her from harm, nor does she dislike it.

Not that she thinks Cid is a threat after he went through all this trouble to help them. ]

I am a... [ Here she pauses a bit, looking up at Daqiang. ] flower fairy from Shuiyuntian.

[ Orchid can guess what Daqiang will think about the pause, they have had a few conversations about this just from his last memory of home. Regardless of what she truly is and where she's from, Shuiyuntian has been her home. One of them. He isn't yet aware that Orchid has questioned everything about herself, which is the truth behind the pause. ]

My Shifu found me as a little orchid seed, she took care of me and taught me how to fix Destiny Books. I have fixed forty-two thousand, and seven hundred in my thousand years of cultivation. My cultivation isn't very good, but I have been getting better since meeting Daqiang. I can make flowers and other plants grow and bloom.

Before I met Daqiang, I had never left Shuiyuntian, but now I've been to all Three Realms and this far away place. [ So she is somewhat sheltered, and knows it. ]
