Gren ran down the railroad tracks as fast as he could. Which, while impressive for someone in full metal armor, still wasn't really that fast. He was jogging at a brisk pace, both to cover distance as well as he can and not tire himself out in the event he ran into some errant grimm. The sound of battle throughout the forest told him that the test was well underway now, and that he should hurry up if he did not wish to be the last of the students to pass. While he has no doubts that all the students have a chance to succeed if they're competent, being the last before the gate would leave a bitter taste in his mouth. As he ran, his eyes noticed something in the distance. At first he thought it might have been a fallen branch, but it was much too big. A fallen tree maybe, but than it'd be too small. Perhaps a rock, but as Gren got closer, it didn't look natural. When he was about fifty feet from the object in question, Gren realized it was a student.

[i]"Ah! My partner!"[/i] Gren thought. The moment he'd lay eyes on this person, he would be their partner for the rest of their time at Beacon. How would they be, he wondered? Was it a male or female? Human or Fauna? What weapons did they use, what Semblance did they have? Questions questions questions. Excited to meet his future compatriot, Gren quicken his footsteps and called out for the person. [b]"Hello there!"[/b]

Gren stopped when he was ten feet from the person. He saw from his ears that the boy was a faunas of some sort, perhaps a dog or wolf. HIs weapons looked to be a sword and shield, but it's unique design told Gren there was much more to it than meet's the eyes. The boy himself seemed to bare no scars and injuries, but the smell on him told Gren that he had a brush with what he guessed was Beowolves. So this student was blooded a bit, and since he wasn't dead, competent. [i]"Good. Good."[/i] Gren cleared his throat and bowed his head. [b]"Hello. I am Gren Orchid. I suppose that we're partners now, aren't we?"[/b]
