"Sure, nice spot to take a nap. Care to join me?" she joked in reply.

Once the initial dizziness had worn off, Zhu-li found herself lying in a shallow pit among the dry leaves. Probably the only reason the falling tree hadn't crushed her. Amilanthior stood at it's edge regarding her with a smug look.

Groaning, she pulled herself up and moved towards him. "Looks like we're partners now." she realized. Amilanthior wasn't a bad choice really, if one ignored the personality issues, he was a good fighter as evidenced by yesterday's fight. Even better, he wasn't racist.

Extending a hand towards the cloaked boy. With his support, she pulled herself from the pit.

Then went rigid for a moment, staring behind him...

"What's tha..." she began, but stopped herself. Zhu-li swore for a moment that she saw a red ...thing... behind Amilanthior, like a face in the bushes. But just as quickly as it appeared, the thing was gone and she didn't want to mention it couse he'd probably think she was overreacting. Probably just her imagination.

Still, it gave her the creeps. Instincts told her to get out of there. Fast.

"Let's go," she suggested, "North's that way." she pointed.

''Oh fuck why?! ''Dawn complained for her choice of partner, taking the redhead for a weakling after his ...unsatisfactory... performance at yesterdays brawl. Oh well, if he can't fight at least i'll have someone to play cards with...

Then the Grimm appeared. She looked down at his extended fist amusedly. "Bad idea bro, unless you don't plan on keeping that hand." to emphasize, a charging Boarbatusk ran for the pair, tusks raised to impale Dawn.

Instead, it met her fist.

The beast literally exploded in a shower of rose petal blood, black hide and chunky ivory.

Splitting Titaness in half, Dawn mounted a blade on each arm and charged into the fray. A beowulf swiped at her, claws raking across the left blade with a horrible screech. Block and stab. Dawn rammed the other thick blade into it's gut, impaling it clean through.

She pulled the trigger on the chaingun inside the half-shield, pumping lead into another Grimm while the recoil further eviscerated her first victim.

"Three!" Dawn proudly announced her kill count, drawing Titaness out from it's gut. "Don't just stand there man, let's see if your fights better than your cards?"
