Nie Huaisang might feel the sting of that pointed address a bit more if he weren't so focused on the figure now peaking around Lan Wangji. He scrambles to lever himself at least up onto his elbows, still staring at her with wide eyes. It's a demon, surely, isn't it? With that visage, how could she be anything else? And yet, Lan Wangji seems to be completely unphased to have her behind him--in fact, she seems to be using him as some sort of shield.

"A-ah, Hanguang Jun...your companion..."

He has not yet gotten up from the ground, but continues to look at Klaudia with a sincere amount of wariness.
