"It wasn't..." She said flatly wincing some until he finished wrapping her, letting out a long breath as he stood, a red aura began to glow around her ankle and lower leg again, a bit more apparent like before. Reaching and grabbing the hilt of her sword and using it to pull herself up to both feet. Her ankle looking a bit more red fluctuating as she stood. But she nodded, "It's good enough, and, yes, we should... probably a little ways behind." She stated as she rested the sword on her shoulder, her leg hued red, giving another nod of confidence. "I don't really know the way, you have any idea?" She asked as she began walking to follow behind Mauve.

spaceOpal laughed lightly and patted Noir's back at his little group hug before he pulled away, "Yes, yes, its nice to see you, my friend." Another set of footsteps joined them. Before Opal could turn to look, Noir had already announced Elliot's arrival, as well as his partner's. The redhead smiled at them both, but her greeting was cut short as Noir began recanting his time in the Emerald Forest. She shot Sage a look and wondered what he thought of Noir, especially with how they'd... run into each other, "Nice to meet you Sage, and you as well Hildr. My name is Opal." Opal was not so willing to converse when there was a large group. She was more of a one-on-one kind of speaker. However, she did cast a smile at Elliot and his comments about she and Carmine.
spaceOpal smiled at Carmine's compliment and resisted the urge to give her one back, "You're too kind. I'll just leave Carmine's skill a mystery so you can find out on your own." She grinned and held her finger in the air matter-of-factly. Her partner then shifted her weapon, turned, then spoke to Opal. The faunus pondered over her question and cast her gaze on the relics, wondering what significance they held over the team building here. "I'm not sure. I've heard Ozpin is a bit of an eccentric, so who really knows." Opal walked around the half circle the relics formed. Her mind wandered to Raven and her less than savory attitude towards the Beacon Headmaster. From the brief interactions with him, Opal didn't see where Raven's negative attitude came from, but that woman was filled with secrets.
spaceCarmine's voice broke her train of thought. Opal turned back to her and saw that she was motioning towards the white rook. Though, Opal was less concerned about the relic, and more about her friend's forlorn expression. Was she... sad? An eyebrow perked up as Opal approached Carmine, stopping in front of her and setting a hand on her shoulder, speaking loud enough only for her to hear, "I'm not sure what plagues your mind, but if its something about this place, we can leave." Opal slid her hand off of Carmine's shoulder and offered a warm smile before leaning past her to grab the white rook piece. She spoke softly again as she plucked it from its pillar, "If I've misread, please forgive me."
spaceThe redhead leaned up and spoke normally, now, "Regardless, the tower will do. The castle walls are the last lines of defense in any true battle. Its a rather important piece if used correctly." She mused aloud. It was rather appropriate, she thought. Opal held the piece in the air to observe it for a moment before sliding it into a pouch against her hip for safe keeping, "I can only assume we are supposed to return these to Ozpin. I think the cliffside we started on will be the rendezvous point." She halfway announced her thoughts to the group, turning her head in the middle of her sentence so they could all hear her easier. She was sure someone else had the same thought but, at the same time, no one had voiced it yet.

Hildr could only smile at Noir as he described how she seemed to tell he knew some of the other students by the look on his face. It was half truth, she had guessed to begin with, but truthfully, his reaction helped confirm her suspicion. "You wear your heart on your sleeve, Elliot Vermillion. It's a desirable quality." Hildr said respectfully, hoping not to sound like she was hitting on him, but rather respecting him. With a gesture, she allowed him to move first and she followed behind him. As they made their way, Hildr watched him walk ahead and couldn't help but wonder about him. He seemed well mannered, quick thinking... quick acting for sure. Strong, reliable, a team player too, something that was rare in someone so eager to fight. And so far, easy to get along with. Perhaps she was lucky. No - she was lucky. She could have been stuck with anyone in that forest, but Elliot was easy to be around.
As they arrived at the ruin, Elliot was approached first by a guy with black hair and clothes. Noir - Hildr memorised his name for later - relayed information to Elliot all about his adventure in the forest and the trouble they ran into up until this point. 'They' being Noir and Sage, Hildr gave the other young man a small look and gave him a smile as their eyes crossed. "Hello!" Hildr said as introductions went around to the two boys and the now approaching pair of girls, giving them a small wave and a smile. Her tone was up-beat and cheerful. As Elliot went on to explain his luck and her navigational skills she humbly smiled, "I wouldn't say he's wrong but... Elliot packed the punches." That was when Carmine and Opal began to discuss their journey to the temple, and Hildr listened intently, soaking up the information like a sponge whilst she stood politely, only speaking when it was her turn to speak. To Sage's comment about them all meeting, and Opal's introduction, Hildr decided to divulge some extra information about herself. Firstly to Sage, "well... I don't know about you, but we literally crossed glances and... you could call it partners at first sight." Hildr let out a small chuckle before adding "I'm Svalrvænn Hildrhárr... from the-" she stopped briefly before mentioning how her family were the Valkyries of the Atlesian army. She didn't like making that part obvious about herself, instead she left it at her full name and finished with "also from Atlas. But you can just call me Hildr - that is usually easier." Hildr finished with a smile, tilting her head slightly. It was nice to know that someone else here was from Atlas, perhaps she would end up being in a team with Sage, it would be kind of lucky. But she didn't leave her fate to luck, and in this case Team's were ultimately decided by... Ozpin? Or these chess pieces, she wasn't sure.
Anyway, it was time to be intuitive. Everyone began turning to the chess pieces, deciding on what ones to pick whilst they wondered the important of such trivial objects. As for Elliot's comment, Hildr replied "it would be counter-intuitive for pairings to fail. Letting even those who struggle succeed in the first step will grant them an appetite to succeed there after." She then stepped up to the chess pieces, looking around at the different pedestals. She heard the surrounding discussion on each pieces purpose, and couldn't help but add what she knew to Elliot. "Back home, Chess is popular, and strategic." She began looking at a pawn, and subconsciously ignored it. Pawns were given orders, forced into the front lines, and there were many. Then she looked at the Knight and said "perhaps, if we're taking one of these for any reason at all, we should take what we identify with. The Knight jumps to the front line of battle, saving the front-men from imminent danger. You, with your gauntlets and brute-force, and I with my spear and vanguard style are similar. Would you agree?" The whole time her tone remained neutral, perhaps slightly filled with fervour. She turned to Elliot, wondering if he would have an opinion on this sort of thing.

Noir Alcott
Noir was happy to hear everyone's story on how they met up with each other's partners and how they got here. The tales were great to hear as he listened with eyes full of stars and even when they started to talk about the relics, he then noticed there was another black horse and white castle and figured to say something very excitedly, "Oh! Maybe by having the same pieces you get to be part of that team! Me and Sage got the black horse piece." He was now jumping for joy due to his excitement about one of these groups of two maybe part of the same team of four maybe. He then began to worry mentally due to the fact for his team to trust him, he needs to tell them what he is. But that is after all of this and knowing his future teammates.
However, due to his excitement, it was attracting grimm by numbers to their location and he didn't know it. However out of all of them, there was one grimm that may put a shock out everyone's life, even Noir's for better or worse. While another grimm leading the pack with a few alpha's by its side looking like a scorpion, marching to the ruins where there prey awaits.
The tree Crimson had gotten caught on was actually pretty tall. If he could climb up and get a better vantage point, then he might be able to see the temple if they were lucky enough for it to be in a clearing. "Yeah. Well, I can hopefully figure it out. I'm gunna try to get a better look." Reaching out with a soft hand, Mauve grabbed at a studier branch and pulled himself up. There were plenty of those that could serve as decent grip. He looked back and smiled. "If any grimm show up, just yell, okay? I'll be right back." After hooking his gun on his back, he began climbing. The branches got smaller and weaker as he moved upward. Good thing I'm so small. These things are much less likely to snap from my weight. Hopping up so he could see, height did in fact reveal their target... and the fact that several groups had already made it there, a big clearing with some ruins. He couldn't really see who was already there, but it wasn't as though he knew very many people.
"Ah, man. We really are behind," he explained when he dropped to the ground from the final branch. Locking eyes with Crimson, he smiled. "I found it, though, so let's get heading out, huh? Think we can book it?" He pointed the direction they'd be going. If his new partner said she'd be able to keep up, he'd run at a decent pace. Otherwise, Mauve would continue walking if running was out of the question. I should've been quicker. Not like time is a factor here, so it's fine. The pickings for relics will be pretty slim. Oh well. Glad I could help out Crimson.

▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱ Carmine blinked when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking to see who it belonged to, she caught Opal's gaze. "Oh, uhm, no it's nothing. Just overthinking things. No big deal." The faunus girl's volume control was appreciated. It'd be a little embarrassing if everyone suddenly became concerned over Carmine giving herself a headache. Even Elliot's partner seemed to know quite a bit about the game. Her mention of the guy's strength spiked her interest as well. So she'd seen it? Either way, did everyone know how to play chess?! At the very least, Opal's concern was appreciated. "Thanks for asking; I'm good." She waved back and forth nonchalantly with her hand as Opal reached forth and grabbed the relic. Heheh, Opal's pretty attentive. Ah, and knowledgeable too!Carmine thought when her partner went on about the piece. "Sounds good! Yeah, we had to bring them back up, right? We made it this far, so it should be easy enough to get there." Noir's excited voice caught her off-guard. His idea made enough sense, but if that was the case, then there wouldn't be much thought into how the teams were formed.
"That's not a bad idea, but do you really think the headmaster and vice principal would just leave it up to chance like that? You'd think things would be put a little more together," she mused, stealing a worried glance at Elliot. While he may have not been very close with Ozpin, Glynda Goodwitch was still his mother. Surely, he'd have some inkling of an idea. The young woman was careful not to go out of her way and call him out blatantly, of course, remembering his unease regarding his name. Between partners being made by eye contact and teams possibly being made via chance. These people were Carmine's heroes. Not that she'd understand one way or another, but she did expect a little more. "I doubt they'd just let something be that random, but I guess we'll found out when we get back up to the professors." With a bright grin to Opal, she bowed at the waist and motioned forward with her right arm. "After you."
How relieving. For once, Carmine felt like a part of a group of people. Joking and talking with everyone else about the test and how they got here. It seemed like they were all pretty strong as well. I can't complain about whoever ends up completing our team. Everyone here can handle their own, and they're all plenty nice. While I love being able to move around like this and take down grimm, I'm really excited for classes to start.
"I'll protect everyone including you. Nothing is going to get in the way of that, not even me."▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰

"You asked me five years ago if this is what I wanted to do with my life. All that time passed, and I've never strayed from the course. So trust me. I will become a huntsman."
Well, it seemed like everyone was getting along quite well. Hildr had met another person from Atlas and seemed to be content, Carmine and Opal had selected their chess piece already, and Noir announced to everyone what he believed would decide their teams. I doubt it'd be that simple. I'm pretty sure that the actual placement is their own judgement. They'll probably find some sort of "reason" as to why we were placed on the teams, of course. Elliot thought to himself, suddenly gaining quite a bit of composure as he thought this over. After all, this was a turning point in his life that might set who his allies are for the rest of his life. He had to make a wise decision about how he would present himself and which piece to choose. Hildr, of course, made a very fair point with her assessment of the chess pieces, stating that the Knight piece suited their personalities quite well. "Am I really knight-like? I just kinda run straight forward..." He muttered to himself, observing the pieces as he contemplated his own abilities and how he portrays himself to others.
His eyes caught a hold of Carmine's after she asked a question about the headmaster and vice principal. Was she wanting him to try to confirm or deny the theories that they were all coming up with? Was he even capable of doing so? Thinking for a few moments, Elliot just sighed with exasperation. "You know, what, let's just leave it to chance. I don't wanna think about it." Elliot stated picking up a nearby pebble. He then threw it in the air slightly and punched it as hard as he could towards one of the pillars. From that moment on, the rock was like a pinball bouncing around the place and smashing into each and every pillar. "C'mon, c'mon. Let's see where the roulette lands. Let's see sumthin good." Elliot stated, mostly to himself, as his eyes followed the rock that was bouncing around. "Is it a pretty pony?" He jested, watching as it almost went towards the horse, narrowly missing the Knight by a few centimeters. The ricochet, however, propelled the rock back towards the white side and struck the other white rook off the pedestal. After a few more moments of the rock calming down with its bouncing, Elliot walked over to the relic.
"Whelp, even if it's decided randomly, can't argue with that kind of stuff." He stated as he picked up the piece and tossed it in the air slightly, catching it again. After that, he looked towards his peers and immediately tried to justify himself. "What? It's how I roll. I'm not gonna sit here for a couple hours trying to understand how my mom's mind works, or even how are teams are decided. I'd rather just leave it up to chance." He stated, leaning up against the pedestal that his chess piece used to be on. "Anyway, we're supposed to head back to the cliff side, huh?" Elliot muttered to himself as he thought about what the best route there would be. I really don't wanna get swarmed by Beowolves again. They seem to be pretty active today. He thought to himself. "You just wanna call it a day, Hildr? Not like waiting around's gonna change anything." He mentioned to her, smiling a little bit. Elliot was probably too cheery to be honest, but that was his natural setting, and he liked to live life that way.
"Dwelling on things just isn't healthy. You gotta live in the moment if you wanna keep moving forward, yeah?"

Crimson stopped and keeping her arms crossed now over her breastplate, as she began looking between him climbing nimbly up the tree and the surrounding area, "Alright, just don't fall." She said rather flatly. Doing a somewhat half hearted perimeter watch.
Turning to him with what he said, "What? We can't be that far behind surely... I'm never late, of coarse we can. Lead the way then I guess." She stated as she gave her shoulder a shrug and rotation and her tied ankle a small rotation, not a wince out of her but instead a deep red aura forming around her lower leg, almost looking like a boot was transparently over her armour. Nodding and starting to jog at first then getting to a heavy footed, armour clanking, racket of a forward leaning run to match the speed of Mauve whatever speed it was they chose. While running, hoping they wouldn't hear, she let out a sort of half voiced "T-thank you..."

spaceSage stood to the side as his peers continued their introductions and eventually move on to choose their relics. He had to admit, though, Hildr mirroring his introduction and backing away from what she initially meant to say had him interested, but Sage wasn't one to push or question things. He just had a general curiosity. Truth be told, he was interested in all of the individuals here. Carmine, with her transforming sword and aversion of hugging. Two spear/javelin users, which were rather uncommon weapons. Elliot with his gauntlets, an arguably outdated set of weapons, not that Sage was one to judge. Dual scythes were rather old school, he supposed. The young man took his time observing all of his and Noir's potential teammates; that was, if their teammates weren't one of the pairs that beat them to the temple. He silently hoped it would be one of these pairs, for the sake of ease, but that didn't necessarily matter. He figured having Noir as a partner would make any team easy to be on. Noir was a natural with people, it seemed. Speaking of Noir, Sage's partner was getting excited all over again. The knight smiled to his friend, a questioning look on his face.
space"I'm not sure it would be so simple. Or, I hope it would be a little more planned out than that. Do you really think they would leave it up to chance like that?" The more he spoke, the more he honestly was not sure how the teams were put together. He knew initially that eye contact was the factor for gaining one's first teammate. Oh. Well, certainly, the first person you lock eyes with is leaving it up to chance. Did the headmaster even have anything to do with this? Or did he just really throw them to the beowolves and let fate decide? Sage, stuck in his confusion, almost looked angry. On the contrary, he was just deep in thought, his natural deadpan taking over again. The young man looked off to the distant treeline, trying to sort his thoughts. However, his attention was drawn back to the temple at the repetitve sounding off. Elliot seemed to have thrown a rock between the pillars and let it choose his team's relic. Interesting way of making a choice, but it only made Sage ponder more over the use of chance.

ooc : i assume we'll wait for crimson and mauve to get to the temple and get their relic before we have the grimm hoard arrive? c: i was going to include it in my post, but figured it would suck for them to work around that lol. that's why his post is so short orz also cause limited keyboard weh
spaceOpal smiled at her teammate and simply nodded to Carmine, leaving it at that. The faunus didn't see a need to push any further. They had all had a rough day, after all, and it still wasn't even over. They had only finished half, logically. She looked to Noir when he spoke up excitedly. This guy didn't have a negative bone in his body, did he? They had had the same idea about the chess pieces, it seemed. "If that's the case, we won't be teammates. We took the rook. So, if we wind up on the same team, we'll know its not matching pieces." Opal then carefully listened to what the others offered but, honestly, all she could think of was finishing the task at hand. Regardless of how teams are formed, they still need to return to the cliffside if they ever wanted to be placed on a team.
spaceThe redhead watched as Elliot plucked a pebble from the ground, avoiding answering Carmine's subtle question, and threw it to bounce around the pillars. Opal followed the small object until it finally whacked the other rook from its stand. At that, Opal looked over Hildr and Elliot, wondering if their theory of matching chess pieces was true. While she was already aquainted with Elliot, Hildr was a bit of a wildcard. They both used a spear of some sort, which would be nice for team attacks, but it limited their team's fighting diversity. No matter, any team could work like a well-oiled machine, it just took practice and dedication. Luckily, those were both things Opal excelled at.
spaceOpal tore her gaze away from the other pair and saw Carmine bending at the waist, motioning onward with her right arm. A smile poured onto the faunus' face. She placed her hand over heart, "You really know how to make a lady feel special, hm?" Her voice carried a joking tone, light and comfortable. Her quick bond with Carmine was something Opal was immensely thankful for. She only hoped it would continue to grow and not halt once they started getting into their actual lives at Beacon. Truth be told, she didn't want to imagine fighting through Grimm and classes without that. Silently, she vowed to never doubt the other girl, and to always keep their communication open. That's what made teams work, right? After taking a few steps forward, Opal stopped walking, though. Suddenly, the red hare ears atop her head twisted forward and straightened completely up. There was something coming towards them.
space"I think we're about to have company. They're not close, but they're not far either. We need to make a plan. I don't think we can outrun them." She never looked away from that spot off in the distance, her ears still trained perfectly where her gaze fell.

Hildr had finished looking at the chess piece when Elliot began his own explanation of how it might work. At first he muttered, giving off the impression that he didn't really agree 100%. Which was more than likely, considering they've just met and Hildr was going off her first observations of his fighting technique. "Sure..." she said, "you run forwards, perhaps without thinking. What would you say?" Elliot then when on to prefer chance, something Hildr wasn't exactly fond of doing in her life, but still, the idea was primitively exciting. She watched Elliot pick up a pebble and punch it whilst the others began to pick as well. It shot around, rebounding off of pillars and the floor before finally striking the other rook. Well, there goes that theory Hildr thought, not particularly upset, just rather quick to move past it.
Elliot attempted to justify his answer, but Hildr could only chuckle and scratched the back off her head. "Sometimes chance doesn't wait for you, but I'm sure this time it will all be decided through some theory." As for returning, Hildr looked back in the direction she believed the cliff side to be. "Waiting around would probably be the less fortunate approach to this task, considering the Grimm activity we've seen so far. " She thought of all the Grimm they battled on their way here, and the Grimm that the others have battled too. Waiting around here would just attract all of them here, causing a struggle of power for all of them to come out alive on their first task. It wasn't long afterwards that Opal's ears caught wind of the sound of Grimm in the far distance, something Hildr wasn't aware of until the Faunus let everyone know. "There were two others" Hildr said, stepping forwards with her spear, Herja, in hand. Her eyes had a sudden alertness and determination as she went on to explain "If we leave now, there could be a horde waiting for them when they arrive to gather the last piece.. If we can't outrun them... we'll have to face them all together. It has to be the safest option, would you agree?" Hildr suddenly found her mind acting on her past, something that was now just a part of her, she barely thought about it anymore. She only cared for whether or not everyone was safe.

Noir Alcott
Noir nodded in understanding to the others, thinking if too large of a grimm group shows up then it would destroy not only the ruins, but them as well unless he did 'that'. But he also is worried about breaking a promise too, so he has to choose between his secret or his allies. But he didn't give up, so he climbed the ruins onto the top to speak with a smile, "Let us give them a run for their money and show them that even if were young we will show them we will not go down without a fight. Besides, were going to be doing this every time once we all become hunters, so we can take this as a chance to learn what the pro's do it." He then jumped off the ruin, drawing his sword and transformed his armor to be ready to fight. However, as he turned around, he saw a familiar face and unfortunately, he is now both shocked and scared for himself and it.
The being he see's is a third the height of a normal beowulf which makes it look like a beopuppy. however, the creature was sitting there, looking at him with blue eyes and its very noticeable blue marking unlike the normal grimm in the forest which he saw that have red eyes and marks. He was starting to freak out seeing it due to he knows where it came from, "Oh crud, oh crud, OH CRUD! Why is Lucky here?! This is bad, very bad. What am I gonna do!?" He had to do something fast and try to put on an act but sadly the beopuppy jumped onto him and started to lick his armored face which he then started to giggle about it and got a plan right off the bat. "Hey, your a friendly little guy. Totally different from any of the others I scene all day." He then put his right hand on his chin as he holds onto the creature in his left, "I know, how about staying with us, its better then staying in the forest with those other creatures, what do you say?" The beopuppy looked at him with excitement and returned to licking his face out of happiness as he could tell from a small smirk like dogs would have and the constant licking on his left side of his face.
OOC: figured to throw in something to make things interesting before the horde shows up. It might make things a little funny when classes start (Imagine Dr.Oobleck chasing the beopuppy with a oversize dog net.)
Heheheh, all that armor's pretty noisy, huh? At least she's able to keep up comfortably. Mauve would be lying if he said he wasn't curious about whatever was going on with that weird aura around her foot. While he could easily assume it had something to do with the fact that she was injured, now wasn't the time to be asking about such things. After all, they had just met. That's got to be her semblance, though. Wonder how it works... His train of thought was derailed when a bright light began to shine through the trees. Finally, they were there. "Alright!" Mauve cheered as he broke through the tree line! There was the temple, the relics, and all of the people he'd seen from atop the tree he climbed. Weird, I would have thought they would h- He stopped dead in his tracks at a rather...curious sight. One of the students was being... showered with affection by a strangely young-looking grimm. At first, it had looked like he'd been getting mauled to death while everyone simply stood around and watched, relics in their hands, but no. This was a moment of friendliness... from a grimm. Sure, Mauve had no trouble with humanoid grimm if they were just living their lives and not making any trouble. This kind of interaction from an unevolved one made the young man uneasy. Still clutching his rapid-fire weapon, he approached the group at the temple. "So... is there a story behind this?" he asked, flicking his finger toward the two. Making sure his posture read that he was still listening, Mauve moved past his fellow students to pick up a relic, that was the objective after all.
Chess pieces, huh? A little weird, but can't complain.He picked up a knight piece and held it up for Crimson to see. "Kinda reminds me of you, heheh!" The grin that came to him was a playful one.

▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱So destructive!Elliot's method of decision-making was stress-inducing. He acted like it was up to chance, but did he plan to hit the other tower? If it was random, what was stopping the rock ricocheting off a pedestal and pegging someone else right in the skull? The relics looked pretty sturdy, as well, but what if they weren't? If that thing had shattered when the rock pegged it, Carmine had no doubt that there'd be some form of repercussion. Even after two years of being away, he wasn't trusted enough to walk through the city without causing havoc. She doubted it would phase him. Although, if Noir's theory about the pieces was correct, then that would mean Elliot and Hildr would be on a team with her and Opal. That theory still felt too simple and straight-forward to her. Sage seemed to have a similar opinion about the pieces, so at least she wasn't alone in that mind-set.
"A good warrior is a chivalrous warrior," Carmine replied matter-of-factly to Opal, smiling up at her through her white hair. Back-and-forths like this were fun. Unfortunately, their moment of piece didn't necessarily last long. As the groups were getting ready to head out, something seemed to be bothering Carmine's partner. Straightening, Carmine removed her hand cannon from its holster, aiming in the direction on which Opal seemed to be focused. She then voiced something about making a plan. Hildr and Noir both seemed to agree, prompting everyone to work together and fight given the futility of running. A big grin spread across Carmine's face. Hearing things like that set a fire off in her heart. "Heh, I don't even like running when it is an option!"
That was when it happened. A single grimm broke through the trees, charging straight toward the group. The young woman relaxed her muscles a bit, still aiming down her sight. Just one? Opal had seemed more on her guard for a grimm so small... An enemy's an enemy, though. Carmine's eyes steeled over, her index finger moving to pull the trigger. Something's wrong. She blinked, looking closer at the grimm. "Why is it-?" Before she could finish her question about it's color-scheme the creature had pounced Noir and began... licking him?! First of all, Noir hadn't even made a move to dodge the creature. Second, what was going on? She'd never seen something like this before. It was slightly frustrating. All Carmine could do was stand dumbfounded at the situation. It was about that time that the final pair made it to the temple, a couple girls, one asking the exact question Carmine had on her mind.
"I'll protect everyone including you. Nothing is going to get in the way of that, not even me."▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰▱▰
CRIMSON ARMATO -Student- --Beacon Academy-- ~The Heiress to Nihility and Hyperbole~
Crimson seemed to be focusing rather hard on something as they ran, finally hitting the clearing she too came to a bit of a side stepping halt, reaching back and about to draw her sword but stumbled some one heavy step forward as her sword only pulled out half way, looking dumbfounded at the grimm showing so much puppy love to this guy. Her eyes going between everyone and the grimm. "What...?" Seeing everyone so calm about it and Mauve moving, Crimson sheathed her sword and continued walking eerily with a hand on the hilt staring at the grimm.
Stopping alongside Mauve, eyeing the many familiar faces she was now seeing from the day before and looking at the knight piece Mauve chose to grab. "A horse hu- h-hey, what, do you mean, a-ahm no horse, that's very rude." She said crossing her arms and turning away taking a few steps and erect, looking to the sight of the grimm pupper. Peering back over her shoulder, "So, are we done here then? What now?" She asked rather rudely, as she stared down at her leg now, still adorn in a somewhat sock like red haze of sorts.
