"Understood." A glint of light in her eye as Chartreuse began assaulting the first ursa. With the beast being occupied with Chartreuse's whips, Elise made a split-second decision to activate the ring blade. Just in time, if she was to guess, as seconds later the ursa's partner burst forth. It was in close proximity to Chartreuse and worryingly so, and something almost friendly clicked in Elise's mind.

They were friends, right?

At the last second Chartreuse used her whip to vault over the ursa and Elise saw her opening. She activated her semblance as she threw herself to the dirt and surged forward quickly, something like a sideways top, the blades of the ring digging into the first ursa's side. She quickly added another jolt of aura into the machine, boosting her up the ursa's side and high above it into the air.

Or rather, to the red leaves above.

Elise had miscalculated her velocity just a smidge and accidentally put way more airtime between herself and ursa, something that could be dangerous for Chartreuse if she didn't hurry her way back down to fight. Elise herself had no doubts about her teammates fighting skill, but the truth of the matter was that they really didn't know how many more ursa could show up. What if an ursa major showed up? Could Chartreuse handle all of those creatures?

Elise surely couldn't.

The young lady angled her body slightly, already falling, and gave one last push from her aura. This time she was going right for the second ursa, whose black body was still visible beneath the red leaves. At this trajectory, she could possibly pierce the fat on its back. Or, alternatively, smash at high velocity into the bone spikes adorning its spine.

Once again, luck was on Elise's side. She dove into the creature spine, lodging the ring into the softer parts of its back. Just in time, too - it was preparing to swipe at Chartreuse while she was preoccupied. Though the beast thrashed about at the sensation of the steel embedded in its fur, Elise maneuvered her way out of the ring, holding one of the Grimm's spinal spikes and swinging one of her legs up, dislodging the ring and securing it in the crook of her knee.

The Grimm fell on all fours and charged in the opposite direction, dragging Elise further from her partner and back toward the campsite. As if on cue the communicator Rosa had given her chimed, crackling to life. ''Rosa! ''She wanted to reply, but it quickly dawned on her that she had possibly been attempting to contact them throughout this debacle.

Elise wrapped an arm around a particularly large spike and used to other to retrieve the blade from her leg, her body grateful to rest on the side of the moving Grimm now.

"Rosa?" She hummed and tested, "This is Elise. Chartreuse and I have been separated. There are at least two ursa in the immediate vicinity. Assistance would be welcome." The last word strained with sarcasm as she debated between killing this ursa or hurrying back to find Chartreuse.
