Mood Swings
Hao Xuan stood in front of that crack in the ground that was referenced to in one of the more coherent whispers while talking out loud to Baracus. The pug was still behind him, at a distance of five meters exactly.
It heard his side of the conversation with Baracus which was, in turn, transmitted back to Princess Na'im, leaving her quite confused and wanting even more questions than before.
"Who is he talking to? He doesn't seem to be 'touched' but the things he is saying..." she mumbled with knitted brows. (AN: touched means mad/insane/unhinged here, i.e touched by the spirits)
Hao Xuan still had no idea of the pug's presence even after this much time had elapsed. It exhibited almost no signs of life, no aura, no energy signature, made no noise, and kept just enough distance to pick up his movements clearly all the while hiding itself in plain sight.
Whatever kind of creature it was, it was made for tailing people.
