"WARK!" The group of Raphus would continue to let out bellowing squawks as they'd soon begin to quickly waddle away, having taken notice that their numbers were being targetted by some of the others and were now under fire. While the Raphus themselves weren't very quick, they'd still seem to be doing everything they could to get away from the Hunters and Huntress.

"Aha! Got you!" Beryl seemed to have some success in catching one, or in the very least, was able to confront during the commotion. Just as she was about to strike it with her Tiamat Glaive however, the Raphus would seem to make an impulse action; Now cornered and desperate, it would unleash its "attack" upon Beryl...in the form of rapidly poking at her legs with its beak.

"H-Huh...?" Beryl paused for a moment as the Raphus did this. Its pecking, while certainly very fast, didn't seem to do much of anything to her. Small "sparks" from her aquamarine colored aura could be seen where the Raphus was attempting to hit her, though from the look of things, it wasn't even putting a dent in her defenses. This caused Beryl to look down at the avian-Grimm in this awkward moment, now rubbing the side of her head a bit before speaking up, "I...I think I can see why these things rely on calling other Grimm. I kinda feel bad for them now, actually..."

Elsewhere, it seems Shula was quite happy to hear of a potential lead on her friend.

"Wait, really?" She seemed surprised at first, though soon smiled, "Huh, seems like we did have the same idea after all. Either way, this is great! Thanks, Raiden. We'll head on out together, then." Shula got up from her seat on the rock at this point, stretching a bit and preparing to trek back along the path to where Beryl was supposedly sighted. During this time, a thought had crossed her mind, one relating back to something Raiden had mentioned earlier. After thinking to herself for a moment on this, Shula couldn't help but speak up on it.

"Say, Raiden...You said you were separated from your team, right?" Shula questioned while looking to him, "Maybe Beryl and I can help you look for them? I'm sure she'd offer to help either way once we find her. Plus...it's the least I can do as thanks for the lead on her." Despite mending Raiden's leg earlier and with their ordeals seemingly being even on account of the lead, Shula couldn't help but feel some form of further in-debtment. Judging from the sound of things, Beryl truly does seem to mean a lot to her.
