[ alfie is one of the more tolerable people in the meadous - not that beau doesn't get along with most people, it's just that alfie's easy to shoot the shit with. he (and royce and gwen too) reminds her a lot of some of the people she knew in exandria. and the longer she stays here, the more she gravitates towards that - she misses the nein so fiercely that it hurts. she misses phoenix, she misses huaisang, she misses hunter and asch and anaido. she feels directionless, a lot. and it makes things worse.
she throws herself into these worldhops. she can make a difference here, she thinks. leave things better than how she found them.
like now. like now, she can stop something terrible from happening. she's not stealthy, but she's fast. and her ki kicks in as she makes her way across the street, a hundred and sixty feet in six seconds, to stop this assassin from stabbing alfie through the heart.
the dagger swings down - it might still hit, but it's not fatal, because beau rams into the assassin and knocks him to the ground, already calling up her ki again to ram her fist into the assassin's face. ]
