Shura doesn't reply at first, trying to stop Shishi from climbing up the base of the tree by waving him off. Sure, he could get up to where she was with not problem, but getting him down was going to be annoying. After a few seconds, Shura accepts that if she doesn't come down, he will come up, so she'll hope down from the branch with a remarkable ease.

"C'mon, get off of that." Shishi is happy to do so now that Shura has her feet on the ground, and he immediately moves to brush against Shura's legs. She'll let him, considering it reward enough for tracking her down. Turning her attention to Lauralae, she'll finally reply.

"You helped a lot~ It's nice to get him motivated by somethin' that ain't starvin' him." So what if he was a little spooked?? He would get over it.
