Lustra allowed the illusion to wear off, disappearing in the same special-effects-y way it had formed. She crossed her arms and cocked an eyebrow as her teasing smile turned just a little more questioning.

It was good that she'd gotten the girl talking at last. Now that Cyzarine was being notably more verbose, Lustra noticed that her way of talking was somewhat... clinical? As though she were more used to giving reports than holding casual conversations.

Well, no matter, to each their own. If anything this was just a hint towards Cyzarine's work experience.

"Your semblance looks best in the dark?" Lustra said curiously. Her mind began to ponder the all the possible properties of such an ability. The first one that came to mind was 'shadow manipulation', a semblance that was quite uncommon in real life but the cliche go-to for aspiring detective fiction writers trying to make their main character seem both cool and edgy.

But a semblance like that was literally useless in a midday plain like they were standing in now. Cyzarine was withholding it at the moment, not incapable of using it in their present circumstances. So then... maybe some form of pyrotechnics?

Eh, whatever. She could think up a dozen semblances and still be wrong. Better to wait expectantly.

"I'll have you know I don't scare easily," she said, with faux pompousness. "Once it gets dark, this Necro of yours better be worth the hype."

Lustra waved away the thought of leaving their path to go find a hole so she could see Cyzarine's semblance. To a newly graduated Huntress like her, the prospect of such unprofessionalism was just a little too embarrassingly childish to consider. She would have to be patient until nightfall.

"Oh, here we are," Lustra interjected. She swung her step ninety degrees to the left and stepped away from the road to begin hiking towards the conical monument. The two of them had traveled quite a ways as their conversation stopped and started up again. The slope was now slightly uphill, with more uneven footing and underbrush.

The duo walked for some time in silence again, until Lustra remembered Cyzarine's offhand remark about Grimm.

"As you can see, there's not in the ways of cover since we're in the desert. Most Grimm that we see during the day are going to be either small or airborne. The bigger ones can only be found at night - or in the places we're heading to. The monument passes."

Lustra paused.

"There's not going to be any artificial light around there once the sun goes down. Before it gets dark, we'll need to find a safe place where we can hole up until daybreak."

Another pause. Lustra needed to know how much Cyzarine knew about dealing with these kinds of scenarios.

"How much experience do you have with solo wilderness missions? And what equipment do you have on in you right now?"
