Shi Qingxuan blinks, eyes going wide, and she brings her hand to her lips in a way that's almost theatrical even if she's being completely, honestly natural here. ]
This is that Murasame?!
[ Which isn't the nicest way to refer to the demon that saved the life of a person precious to her, but she is genuinely shocked. Murasame! Murasame is this ordinary-looking bird! No strange coloring or extra eyes or serpentine tongue—a very normal-seeming bird! Shino even treats him like a pet!!
She's a little shocked, but the other odd things about Murasame now make more sense.
And at the same time, she doesn't know how to feel. This demon saved Shino, and for that, she's very grateful. While demons are often labeled such because they're malicious, Shi Qingxuan doesn't believe Murasame is - or not wholly and unnaturally malicious. Hua Cheng is also a demon, but he isn't unreasonably malicious, either. And he is loyal to His Highness. Why can't the same be true for Murasame?
And so, Shi Qingxuan decided that this god-demon is a good god-demon, and pulled out a plate of leftover chicken pieces from the fridge for Murasame to also eat. ]
In that case, this is for him, too.
[ ...She'll make you something even more delicious another time, dear Shino. ]
