(Sorry this took a while, college just started and i'm still struggling to find a balance between work and RP)

Tigris blinked once, taking in the girl’s features. Blonde hair, pink eyes and a halberd, even in the darkness, she cut a striking form on the beach below. The sniper couldn’t help but find her vaguely familiar, the memory still fresh in her mind, like they had met before mere hours ago. But where…?

…staring from a small screen, as a photograph taken on Platinum’s scroll.

“That is your friend!” she remarked incredulously. “FenHong was it? You were looking for her.”

She wondered how and why she would appear here of all places, at such a time after being missing for a long time, as Platinum claimed, and why she was helping them fight off the smuggler army. All these were questions, she decided were best asked in person. If they survived this onslaught, Tigris sensed a long questioning ahead.

Far below, the mouse faunus’ ears perked up at her partner’s words. She hadn’t seen the picture herself, but from a brief talk with Tigris on the car ride here she knew about Automne and Platinum’s quest, and their missing friend.

“You’re Fen? FenHong Se Suzhen?” Zhu-li asked, gripping her arm. “Yeah you are! My name’s Zhu-li, I know your friends, Automne and Platinum, they’re allies. I guess… that means we’re fighting on the same side?” she babbled, excited and trying to convince her that she wasn’t hostile.

The closest smugglers, hearing her words stared at each other with confusion, quickly replaced by anger. It seemed clear that they no longer trusted Fen, after she attacked them and seemed to know the intruders. Whispers of “It’s a set-up” and “Traitor” passed through the ranks, and they approached with a renewed aggression. Worse, the remaining men were circling around the ice barrier to catch them.

A man swiped at Zhu-li with a heavy club. “Eek!” she yelped, darting back to Fen’s side.

“Protect her.” Tigris instructed on radio.

“But Automne-…”

“…will have to fend for herself. I will not let this girl be recaptured and killed immediately after being found.” She stated coldly.

There was little time for debate, their argument was cut short as a fresh wave of enemies surged towards Zhu-li and Fen.
