[ asami can't hear anything beyond the echoing sounds of their footsteps in the closed in walls of the alley. she squints, as if maybe she'll be able to hear better that way but no dice and she tightens her grip on her package. she's not even sure what she's protecting in the first place, but now it's a point of principle. people waving swords around don't get random packages. ]

And I'm guessing we can't stay in this alley to wait them out... there's got to be somewhere we can hide that has more cover... a building we can slip into or a cart? [ to hide in? sure. that could work. ]
