Kat watched as the merchant strode away, and that really what it was. A stride. She wasn't sure she'd ever seen someone try to show off that much swagger. He was leaned back slightly, arms bent slightly at the side and he took big, clearly Qi assisted steps as he ate up ground without breaking a sweat. It didn't even take him 10 seconds to cross the whole compound back to his camp. Something no normal human could achieve even at a sprint.
He strode up to one of the tents and slapped the outside, Kat couldn't really see what happened next but she could hear two people arguing. She tried not to listen to the particulars… but by the time the merchant came striding back over, with a clearly uncomfortable man beside him that had to jog to keep up with the merchant's strides.
