Rose knelt next to Elise. She sat back on her heels and looked over her dress. She hoped blood would wash out of magical attire. Come to think of it. Rose never had thought of washing her magical girl outfit. It was always clean when she transformed. Did the Contractor do it in his off time or something. The sight of the blood did not unnerve Rose one bit. The red blood however did clash with the dark blue of her dress. Rose place her hand gently on Elise's shoulder, "[color=00aeef]Just lay still. There is no need to exert yourself. Just breath.[/color]"

Rose watched Akame and the others move out after the Primordial. The Contractor chose to stay. Several questions ran through Rose's head at once. It was not often that Rose and the Contractor had one on one time. Only when needed did the Contractor come calling. Why did he stay? Was it to make sure Rose did not kill Elise? Rose only silenced her thoughts by asking the adorable critter, "[color=00aeef]So, Sir Contractor, What is your reason for staying here with us?[/color]" 

Unfortunately, that was all Rose was able to ask. Without warning, a primordial came charging across the roof towards Rose. Rose put her hand on the rainwater on the roof. The water leaped at her command becoming a wall of spears to stop the primordial's charge. One of the spear's penetrated the primordial girl's shoulder before it leaped back. "[color=00aeef]Shame,[/color]" Rose said without emotion, "[color=00aeef]I was hoping you would just impale yourself and save me the trouble... Very well.[/color]" Rose climbed to her feet. The wall of spears dissolved back into liquid water and Rose began to pull all the water around towards herself. She took up a defensive stance between the Primordial and Elise. The Water pooled around Rose. It was about as deep as her ankles at the moment. Rose had plenty of fire power (water power) and she could easily protect Elise. But any offense would have to be decisive. If Rose attacked the Primordial might get around her and kill Elise. Rose's head was spinning trying to figure out the best way out of the current situation. How could a Primordial get so close to a gathering of Magical girls and not be noticed. Maybe it was noticed but it was detected at the same moment as the other one. 

Rose raised her hand and with it water came. She extended her hand with force and several water projectiles flew at the Primordial. The Primordial made a laughing sound and deflected the shots with its over-sized scissors. The Primordial charged again but Rose pushed it back with a wave of water.
