Never in her life had Avalon met somebody so brutally honest before. Emmerich didn't hold anything back, just taking that leap of faith without any regard for the consequences... Not that there were any consequences, but that didn't mean he wasn't thinking without considering them. If she were being perfectly honest though, it was quite refreshing. So many hunters, and even civilians, were so guarded and never showed their true faces. She herself was among the groups that aired toward distrust more often than trust. Yet this man here, who wore a literal mask, was more transparent than anyone she had ever run into before... Aside from her brother, though she wasn't really counting him apart of the equation for the moment. 

[color=9e0b0f]"If you let me, I vould like to stay by your side... I vanted zat zis moment, zis happiness zat I am feeling to last forever, or at least until vee need to fight again, vis I vould gladly do it by your side."[/color] The woman thought about it a moment, ultimately shrugging her shoulders. "[color=a187be]I don't see why not, after all, what right do I have to tell you what to do?[/color]" She laughed lightheartedly, turning her body in the direction of the rest of the town. "[color=a187be]Come on, we should get going before all the good stuff gets eaten. If it were up to my brother, I'm sure he'd clean the poor place out.[/color]" Shaking her head at the thought, Avalon glanced back over her shoulder at Emmerich. "[color=a187be]You coming, or what?[/color]" She teased, slowing down just long enough for the man to collect himself and catch up with her.

Nymphadora exhaled, her curious demeanor quickly fading as she decided to get serious. The coven leader had tasked the extermination to her and she wasn't about to give Mirai the satisfaction of failure. Off to the one side she watched as Celia tore into her arm with her own teeth, wincing slightly at the motion. Surely there were easier, and less painful methods... But then again, blood magic wasn't exactly her forte. Nymphadora had no way to know if the method of retrieving blood mattered to any of the spells. She had to make a mental note to study it further at a later time, but for now her attention was stolen but a swiftly moving object on her other side.
Arden had scrambled to his feet, lunging for a torch before taking off. "[color=f49ac2]Why am I not surprised the first thing you grab for is fire? Mirai has you trained well.[/color]" She chuckled lightly to herself as it was highly unlikely the words would reach him at all. "[color=f49ac2]At the very least, it's a good starting point.[/color]" She noted, having to cover her ears as an earsplitting screech filled the space.

The monster stabbed at the ground with it's legs, it's focus on the only object really moving at the moment. Turning its body around, the creature started moving in Arden's direction. This wouldn't have been much of a problem if it hadn't been so huge and the distance between it and prey hadn't been so short. "[color=f49ac2]Damnit. Celia! We need to slow this thing down.[/color]" Lurching into motion, she took off around the outskirts following the same path Arden had taken. There was no way she was going to catch up with him, but hopefully she would find an opening to throw the creature off focus.

Twirling the vial in her right hand she shook the substance until it started glowing, a pulsing pattern abnormal for any liquid mixture. Launching it at the creature's legs, the glass shattered on the stone at the base of one of its legs. The yellow liquid sparked, a small fire flaring to life around the single leg causing it to recoil and shriek as it had before. Her hand now free, she dug into her bag and pulled out a blank piece of paper and something to write with, drawing while she ran to avoid being struck by the now angry creature.
