(Sorry about the delay, I was out-of-state this weekend.)

Platinum glanced over and saw Asher and the sharp-tongued girl (Heart, was it?) from before running towards her, closely followed by Aster. She looked at the writhing murky form of the Ursa before her, and, hearing the screeches echoing from far off yet getting progressively louder, performed a quick calculation. She decided to drop the “reserved and blunt” act that she usually wore in public, and turned to Asher and Heart.

“So, judging from your expressions, I know that you’re probably ready to get pissed at me for attracting the Grimm. But I’ve got a couple of questions for you two first.” Her tone was slightly lighter, and yet sharper than before, because of what she was saying. “Where should I start? Ah, okay. I’ve been paying some decent attention to what you’ve all been saying this whole time, but it just doesn’t add up. It actually throws me off quite a bit. Firstly, although I’ve never actually been to Forever Fall before, my friends have told me that the area students usually visit for missions contains significantly smaller trees than the behemoths we’re seeing around here. Bigger trees means more places for Grimm to hide in. And I get that maybe since this is a higher-level mission it’d make sense for it to be this deep into the forest. Even so, I find it strange that first-year students would be sent this far for a mission. So, either I’ve made a miscalculation, which does happen, or we’re here for some bigger reason.” She crossed her arms, aware of the racket behind her. “If you guys really are just here for a picnic, then that’s fine as long as it’s the truth. But why would you picnic in such a Grimm-infested area in the first place?” Just then she heard a sharp rustling in the leaves and quickly turned and fired into the underbrush, hearing the satisfying thump of a well-aimed shot at the Ursa. “I know we don’t have much time for talking, but I’d like to know something that can at least dispel this suspicion I’ve got. And I trust my gut feeling.”
