Standing at a distance from his partner, Perry got the feeling that this “partnership” was going to be one in name only. His memories of the other student told him that there was no love for humans, and it didn’t look like their fight for their lives had changed that in the slightest. Sighing, he followed the Faunus back into the forest out of the clearing, sheathing Blast Bicell as he did so. Given he had no clue where the ruins actually were and his partner’s likely heightened senses, following him around wasn’t a bad idea. All that aside, Perry wasn’t even sure if he could have convinced the other student even if he had a reason to. At least his pace was something Perry didn’t have any trouble keeping up with, even if he winced a bit with every step.

Brushing himself off as he stepped out of the treeline, the mixture of sweat, blood, and dirt cracked before flaking off, though he was still in sore need of a shower after this. Looking around, he quickly realized that they were the last pair to arrive at the destination given the number of others around and the fact that there was only a single piece left for the taking. Raising a hand to wave at the gathered students, he walked over and pocketed the Queen. [center]__________________________[/center] Running a hand through his hair, Perry sighed in exasperation as one of the students was promptly yanked from the cliff. He’d followed the others over towards the cliff opposite of the ruins to find the bridge connecting the two cliffs was in horrible condition. And apparently housed an entire web of spider-like Grimm underneath it. Retreat didn’t seem to be an option either given how the treeline was blocked off by the bodies of two King Taijitus, four heads gazing down at the remaining students. He was feeling a bit better having rested during the leisure stroll over, but far from peak condition. He scratched his head as he watched the students break off against the creatures, he wanted dearly to help out. Cold logic told him that in his condition he wouldn’t do much good and he might even make the situation worse if he ended up in needing protection. Gritting his teeth, he turned away from the King Taijitus and made his way towards the bridge. It seemed the largest arachnid Grimm was still preoccupied with its bound meal, and Perry was fairly certain he would be able to deal with the smaller variants without too much trouble. His main concern was to leave the combat zone for now and await retrieval by the Beacon staff.
