Lien stared at the other girl for a few moments through the awkwardly long handshake before finally pulling her hand away and glancing to the digits of her fingers. [b]”Umm, rings get in the way of the wires?”[/b] The fox replied quizzically. She really wasn’t sure what this Azalea was going on about at the moment. Still she shrugged and turned her attention back to the subject of getting to that oh so mysterious floating castle

[b]”A tamed nevermore, thats a laugh. If we could tame grimm they wouldn’t be nearly as much of a problem.”[/b] The girl gave a bit of a lamenting laugh. If something as simple as a beowolf couldn’t be trained a nevermore sure as hell couldn’t. Even if they could one definitely wouldn’t just be hanging out in the middle of the forest. [b]”If we could find a nevermore though maybe we could hang on and make it fly towards the castle somehow... my semblance might be able to make it a little more co-operative.”[/b] Li spoke with a light hum as she set a finger to her lips, her expression turning to a grimace when she turned back to see the other girl tugging at her cuts. [b]”Thats gonna get infected like that...”[/b] She said with a somewhat awkward smile. Really was this girl that oblivious to basic first aid practices? 

Her attention however was suddenly drawn by something much more pressing, causing her ears to shoot up tall and her tail taking a low defensive posture. Just before they entered the little clearing she caught the sound of the snarling beowolves approaching feet but it did little good. The enemies were already upon the pair much too quickly. Lien flipped backward to dodge a few swipes and landed in a crouching position. When the beowolf attacking her reared up for another swipe she quickly sprung up herself, kicking square into its jaw and firing off the dust propulsion in her boot. The impact splattered through the enemies skull sending it raining back in a flurry of blood and bone.

[b]”H'ookay then! Overstayed our welcome, time to go!”[/b] Li called to her new partner before firing the grappling claw of her gauntlet straight into the face of an approaching grim, then whipping it off to the side to smash into the ribs of a second and the shoulder of a third before recoiling. Though neither of the three would die, the first would be left dazed for a few moments while the second would earn a few broken ribs and the third a cracked shoulder. Without waiting for her team mates response She darted towards one of the trees and launched herself up to one of the branches with her boots propulsion, then fired her grappling hook at a higher one to pull herself further out of the enemies reach.

She then anchored herself to the thick branch using the climbing spikes in her boots and scanned the ground to located the bunny faunus. When she did she fired off the grappling claw in her direction. [b]”Grab on!”[/b] She called out, hoping to make a hasty exit.
