In response, Sizhui tightens his hold and lifts his other hand, gripping the limb Koro's holding with his tail, using what little leverage he's gained to help move himself up too. It's an interesting sensation, one he would like to consider more, but with the jiangshi still adamant about hanging on to him, he needs to remain focused on the task at hand for now.
His sword, where is it? He needs to use it to vanquish the creature before it decides to do any more harm—
The sudden roar catches Sizhui completely off-guard, causing him to instinctively move his free hand and cover his ear on that side, his eyes squeezed shut. At this point, he's entirely unsure what to expect, but as he tentatively opens his eyes, his attention is drawn toward the other monster, eyebrows lifting in half-confusion, half-astonishment at the fact it's stopped dead in its tracks.
He glances toward Koro, clearly looking shocked, his hand trembling as he lowers it from the side of his head. “What...” It's less a question and more a startled remark, yet he's holding steady, not quite prepared to deliver a final blow, but alert enough that he'll fight back again if necessary.
