As if the fall felt forever, she thought the ground wouldn't come any sooner. Instead, during the moment of her capture, every heart beat she felt in her chest, the cool air, and the way she was caught, it all felt as if he had slowed time itself. She could feel his hands glide gently to support both her back, and under her tender soft legs. Her ears folding back, but her body held close to his chest. Time, in fact, was normal, nothing really slowed down, nor ever had. But it felt as though it did. When Lilian was held firmly in his arms, her ear rested upon his chest, and she could hear his own heart beat. It was calm, and steady, even during all this commotion of hopping around. Slowly, Lilian opened her eyes, and looked upon his form. He was so sure of himself, at least, to her she thought so. But when he went to gaze of her form, she quickly looked away, to embarrassed otherwise.
Yet, during this fluster of hers, she couldn't help but pay attention to his hand under her bare thighs. The in between part of where her skirt ends, and just before her stockings start. She could feel the rough exterior to the palm of her hand, and with every shift made, was a light touch on her part. Her free hand instinctively gripped to his shoulder, though she wasn't even standing, she already began feeling weak at the knees. Upon landing, the stranger was kind enough to set her down properly. Moving the blade in her left hand, while dusting herself off with her right, She checked herself to be sure that all was in place.
Perking her ears up once she was sure of herself, she smiled brightly once more, and began jumping around like an over excited puppy. "Yes! Oh thank you so much! I Owe you big time!" She giggled happily. Of course, it didn't take long for her to calm down as she met up with him face to face, the pleased smile still remained on her gentle features. Lilian offered his little blade back as she heard him introduce himself. "Lilian.....Thank you again for saving me...." She said gently. Though, now that she's down, it did leave room to question as to what to do from hence forth.

Taking back his Anima dagger, he would release the catch and flick the blade back into its resting position before returning it to his rig, keeping it snug within to prevent it from slipping out. "My pleasure, but you owe me nothing..." He would respond softly before looking around the area. He felt uneasy for some reason, his instincts telling him that there was something going on, but he couldn't tell what. "Did you come here for Beacon's test as well?" He asked as he looked back to her, making quick mental notes of both her mannerisms and equipment.
"If you would like to join me, I plan on exploring the area. Surely there has to be something we need to find or people to meet up with." He made the offer casually, not wanting to make it seem like he was strong-arming her into coming along. It was surprising to him just how friendly he was being with Lilian. It was a year since he had anyone to keep him company, perhaps that was the reason. Noticing his train of thought going where he didn't wish it to go once more, he would turn around and squeeze his eyes shut, breathing deeply once more to clear his head of the dark thoughts. Being in control of his thoughts once again, he would pull out his earpiece and start to play the hard rock music he had loaded into it so long ago, letting the familiar notes and lyrics flow into his mind freely, granting him clearer focus.
"We came from the cliff over there..." He would say, pointing to the cliff-side far out to the south. "Maybe our destination is just at the end of this path...?" He would finish his thought as he knelled down to examine a lightly worn dirt path. "There seem to be tracks here, probably only a few hours old..." He would mutter to himself, standing upright once more before looking to Lilian, waiting for her answer, hoping that he didn't completely missed it due to either his music, or his own thought path blocking out her voice.

Eva blushed slightly as Lance said she wasn't useless, smiling slightly at his reassurance. She nodded as he said there was definitely something off about Chrissy and Yoru though he couldn't say for sure what. It was probably best to suppose it could be older students as well, if not specifically teachers from the schools watching them.
She glanced at Hirsch as the Faunus joined them, smiling shyly at the boy. "I don't know what would work best, but it would be a good idea to find some way to communicate when we're separated. Maybe a head set of some sort..." she said thoughtfully, frowning slightly and shaking her head with a slight shrug. It wasn't something they could solve at the moment anyway. Not in any long term way anyway, as Lance had said.
"Evangeline," she said to introduce herself to Hirsch, settling so that her shoulder was against Lance's. She wanted to keep him from collapsing again from the cold. Last time had frightened her enough without him repeating himself. "So, what are we meant to do now? Chrissy and Yoru are obviously watching for us to do something, but what? There are surely other students out here, but should we try to find them or just move through the forest to the other side? I'm not sure. We worked together alright for one fight, but Beowolves are some of the weakest and most easily dealt with Grimm we could run across. We'll likely have to prove ourselves some more if we are being judged for something."
She glanced at Lance, preferring his opinion over Hirsch's since she didn't know him yet. If he spoke up and made sense she'd listen but she already trusted Lance's opinion well enough.

Lilian continued to smile, placing her hands to the center of her chest. usually whenever she did something deserving of praise, or a sign of thank you or you're welcome, often gets a pat on the head. But instead of the petting, she realized that he had turned his back to her. Sure, he offered to have her tag along in the long search of other students, and what not. But as far as she was concerned, the next person she spots would hopefully be her brother.
Lilian looked off to the side, and pondered on rather or not she could trust him. Her long ears hung low while in deep thought. True she was bullied by humans for most of her life, and made her weary of them, but he hasn't tried anything with her or hurt her....But that doesn't mean that he wouldn't later. Then again he DID save her from a world of everlasting migraine. Lifting her right ear when he spoke, both ears perked up to the sound of music.
She got the feeling he was remaining in old thoughts, maybe painful one? Either way, Lilian wanted to address the situation. Walking up behind him, she gently grasped his right hand, and smiled to his form. She then gently tugged out one of the ear pieces. "As long as we can find my brother....I'd be happy to accompany you." She replied with a gentle smile.
Surprised about her forwardness, he would blush as she took his hand in her's. Noticing that she took his earpiece off, he would gently take it back from her and turn it off, slipping it back into his pocket. "Your brother...? You think he's here as well?" He would ask, trying to distract her from the fact that he was still blushing like a fool. 'It's just her being friendly, calm down.' he said in the back of his mind. 'Don't get attached, you remember what happens when you do...' With that thought, he would regain his composure, leaving his hand in her's for the time being so that he didn't come across as rude to her.
"Well, we'll be sure to find others if we look. Perhaps we'll be able to get some information about why we're here as well as something about your brother." He would say with some confidence, remembering the other launchers that had obvious scuff marks from use on them. Looking to the path, and the tracks on top of them, he would start to walk at a relaxed pace for him, one that most would call a jogging pace due to the fact that his natural stride was abnormally large. As he walked, his training would take over once more, his feet avoiding anything that would make noise, moving silently with each step.
Every so often, he would glance at Lilian to make sure she was keeping up with him, and to continue making mental notes of her. She didn't seem to be someone with very much experience, so the possibility of her being an exam proctor or instructor were low. 'I'll need to keep my eye out... There have to be some around...' He would analyze in the back of his mind. With a slight nod, he would decide to focus on helping Lilian first, it was more important than finding an instructor.

Umbra came around the tree, to see his twin sister standing there, talking with a teen who was taller then her, a sketchpad in his hand. He looked up into the other individual face, making eye contact with a look that could cut through solid rock, were that possible. He opened his mouth, the words coming out as colder than he intended.
"I want to thank you for saving my sister. I was unaware that she didn't know how to land in a forest."
He then turned his head to face his sister, his expression softer.
"Lillian, we should really try to stick closer together here. Mom just barely let you come to this school."

Once her companion gave her his full attention, Lilian brightened her smile. "Mn!" She responded in total agreement. However, she did take notice of his rather flushed expression, and couldn't help but giggle. Though her thoughts wandered back to her brother, and she looked down to the ground with her own blushing. She was holding another mans hand after all. "Yeah...I love my brother very much!" She began rather over joyed.
Then again, she began shifting in her posture while trying to keep up with her newly found friend. She only knew kindness from her brother, and her mother. Everyone else seems to share the same hate for anything Faunus related. Before taking another step, Her ears shot right up, and just as quickly she heard her twin brother spoke. Sure he teases her on occasion, but when he addressed her and reminded her of their mother, the thought that she might be worried for both of their safety, caused tears to swell up to the corners of her eyes.
"B...Brother!!" Lilian cried out. The poor girl threw herself towards her twin, and tightly embraced him. Letting out some pathetic cries, the poor girl pulled herself away, desperately trying to wipe her tears away. "I was so scared! *hic* And- And then the launcher, and the vines!" She added in between cries. Eventually Lilian was able to calm herself down, and turned her attention back to her companion with a wide smile. "Oh brother! You should have seen him! He was so cool, and he saved me! He's a human brother! A really nice one too!" She said rather happily.

Hearing the cold voice behind him, Leo would look to the source just in time to see Lilian jump into the man's arms crying. "Well, that was convenient..." he would say offhandedly, almost to the point of being dismissive. With a sigh he would turn to the two and give a polite bow, his right hand touching his left shoulder lightly. "Allow me to formally introduce myself then... I am Leo Firesoul, one of many hopefuls looking to enter the academy."
Having finished his introduction, he would straighten up and look once more to the dirt path. "I have a feeling that these tracks were left deliberately, and I aim to find out why. Shall we continue this conversation on the path?" He would say with a gentle tone, one which did not travel to his troubled eyes. His instincts were telling him one thing, and only one thing; there's a fight on the horizon. He didn't know if it was Grimm, or if it would be a fight with an exam proctor, but he did know that there would be a battle.
Glancing to the new person, he would go through the same mental note taking that he had with Lilian, figuring that based on her reaction, and their words, he was also another academy hopeful. His open hostility was for the sake of his sister... his family... Shaking his head, he would pull out his earpiece and play his music once again, shifting his sword rig and backpack on his back to make it more comfortable before walking down the path silently, his intention on following the path even if they decided against going with him.

"That is a good plan. Apologies for the initial greeting. I'm Umbra," he motioned towards his sister, "and you already know Lillian."
His sister in tow, he began walking along behind Leo, keeping them on the path as much as possible, not wanting to waste any more time. In his head, he felt that it would be faster to get things done and over with. Then, he figured, they could be back in a bed as soon as possible, even though he was enjoying the breeze that was blowing beneath the luscious, green canopy.
"So, Lillian, how long were you in a tree, exactly?"

She smiled between the two, happy to see everyone getting along. At least, she thought so one. When her brother moved to catch up with the other. She figured she should follow pursuit. Getting in between the two, Lilian took a hold of her brothers hand, and Leo's, just like a child would, and began to lightly skip as they went along. however, the young girl stopped in her happy spree when her brother asked how long she had been in the tree for.
She looked to the ground, a bit embarrassed. "I figure an hour or two?" She responded a bit unsure herself. She then looked up to her preoccupied companion with a small smile. "Then he came, and saved me. If he hadn't showed up, I'm sure I would have never been able to get down." Lilian finished rather cheerfully. She looked back to her brother, sharing the same smile as before.

His attention then returned to the task at hand. He could tell, based on movement in the shadows, that there were definitely Grimm in the area, and not all of them would be easily taken down by his semblance. That would force him to rely on his sister, which he somewhat hated to do.
As long as their enemies stayed away, however, there would be no reason for him to draw either of his weapons, allowing the polished metal blades to remain peacefully at rest in their respective sheaths, the dark leather a perfect contrasting nest for the silver hued metal.

He would blink in surprise and look to see that not only was Lilian holding his hand once more, but also smiling at him. He would smile softly back at her and look back to the path, making sure they were still following the tracks. After some time on the path, he would slow his pace to examine several new sets of tracks. "... Grimm..."
With that statement, his eyes went cold with fury. Letting go of Lilian's hand, he would draw Deus from his rig and look to the siblings. "I'll scout ahead, these tracks are old, but they're definitely that of Grimm, and a good number to boot." Attaching the cable from his gauntlet to Deus' hilt, he would look for the highest tree he could see and throw Deus at it like a javelin. After hearing the impact of the blade against the sturdy trunk, he would look to the two one last time. "Stick to the path, if you hear anything, get into the shadows or up high in the trees, I'll be back." With that, he would activate his gauntlet and launch himself into the air, using Deus as the anchor point.
While in the air, he could see a fight in a clearing not too far from where they were. "Five people... three to four Grimm... Looks like it's finished." He would state as he landed on a branch from the tree he anchored himself to, Deus about ten feet below him. "Better keep on guard just in case..." He would hop off the branch and free fall, letting the cable of his gauntlet slow his decent. Upon touching the ground, he would yank on the cord once with decent strength, freeing Deus from the trunk and disconnecting it from the cable.
Keeping Deus in hand, he would run back to meet up with the siblings. "The Grimm are taken care of, and more importantly, there are five others just up ahead. If we hurry, we can catch up with them in a few minutes before they move on." He would report in a casual manner, his earlier anger gone knowing that they weren't going to encounter any Grimm immediately. "Shall we...?" He would ask over his shoulder before taking off at a decent running speed, not going at his top speed to keep some of his hand hidden so to speak.
Hirsch nodded, his ears flicking as he listened. "Hm, well for now, we should probably at least keep moving. Our objective is to pass this test, and prove ourselves as Huntsmen and Huntresses." He shrugged. "If we find others, great. Then we'd finally have our fourth member." He looked around the trees above them. "I can keep watch up in the trees, since I'm smaller and lighter. I can follow you guys up there, or even scout ahead." He looked back up at the two of them. "That is, unless one of you wanted to do that instead."

Lilian took heed that her brother wasn't all paying much attention as he was only getting straight to the point, rater than enjoying or embracing the fact that the two are back together, much like old times. Then again, he was always like that. She was the one over thrilled that she isn't alone or separated from him. She likes to think that they are no different from the horoscope; Gemini. They are two of a kind, and one cannot be without the other. And that part was true, When her brother had left the academy, she felt incomplete, and begged her mother to let her follow pursuit. It took a while to convince her, but Lilian pulled it off, and now, here she is.
Her smiled turned blank, and quickly shot a glance towards leo when he pulled away from her. At first, she thought it was something she might have said or did, but when he explained himself, she went quickly on the defensive, and clung to her brother. The mention of Grim might be ahead, almost scared her. She never had to face one before, nor knew much about them, other than the fact that they were these vicious creatures. Watching him go ahead to scout, she followed pursuit, and continued ahead while pulling her brother along by hand.
Lilian perked her ears up to every direction, listening to the wind, and leafs, every animal that moved, every twig that snapped, even the different sounds of breathing. She would even close her eyes to pick up on scent to make sure that danger was either close or no where to be had. Lilian stopped in her tracks as soon as Leo's scent came to her. That was good, she didn't loose him, and he was still close by, perhaps still scouting ahead? Lilian turn to her twin brother and smiled. "I hope we get placed on a team together, I'd hate to be separated again...." She tried saying behind a worried smile.
Lilian knew that, at the academy they hold specific trials where you have to face off against another team. The idea of having to fight him, scared Lilian. However, snapping back to reality, Lilian turned to Leo when he reported back what he found. So, there were other people in the forest, and it IS confirmed that there are grim. The little Faunus put up her best smile and readied herself. "Mn!" She responded confidently. "Let's go say hello then! Maybe we can all go to the academy together!" She added cheerfully. And, with that, Lilian chuckled lightly, and hurried off to greet the other students. "Last one there has to buy me food!" Lilian teased, and hurried off. Coming into the clearing where the other supposed five students were, Lilian slowed down in her jog until she came o a stop. She looked at each individual one with a gentle smile before looking back to where she came from. "Hurry up slow pokes!" She shouted out cheerfully.

The young man looked to Yoru and Chrissy before addressing his attention back to the other two. "As far as I care, we're done here." By far, that has been the only Grim attack on their part, and since then, nothing was said about it or done, not even how odd it was for the random appearance of Yoru and his friend, and then shortly after talking about Grim- BOOM Grim attack!
Lance shook his head, trying to rationalize the events that just took place, but his irritation was bottling up, and he needed to rest. He looked to Eva and smiled, patting gently on her head before walking himself lazily to a random tree ruck. Slipping down, just like before, Lance let out a soft yawn. "Nap now...." Was all he could muster to say. Before he even rested his eyes, a Faunus bunny girl popped up, it seems she too, found others. "Well this should be interesting." He muttered to himself, but remained at his post.
