The  pale faunus groaned into the branch as he continued to try and reset  his arm, an audible popping noise signaling it replacement. However it  was mostly drowned out by the profanity streaming forth from Nor as he  bit through the branch in his mouth, spitting out rather unpleasant  looking mixture of saliva, blood, and few teeth as well, gingerly taking  his arm out from between the wood, taking a few deep breaths before  flexing his hand, testing the arm.

Following the stream of profanity, Kanika arrives at the crater watching silently as Nor fixes his dislocated shoulder,
[color=71EEB8]"Nice landing,"[/color]
the miniature marauder says, grinning madly.
[color=71EEB8]"I'd rate it a solid 8/10"[/color]
Stepping towards the fanus boy, she offered a hand
[color=71EEB8]"Partners, I suppose?"[/color]

Nor  groaned, looking around in the hopes there was someone around he could  switch in before sighing in defeat, moving to take the offered,  defiantly using his injured arm as he shook it, keeping silent as pained  look crossed his face. [color=6ecff6]" I suppose somebody's gotta baby sit ya, shrimp,"[/color]  he replied as he ruffled her head with his other hand, a cheeky grin showing off his now revealed visage. In response, she emitted a slight murring sound for a brief moment before regaining her composure

The  act reminded him of his mask, looking around to see where it had  landed, "don't suppose you've seen my accessory laying about," his tone  casual. Nor had picked up that he wasn't the first Faunus with  outstanding features she'd met, relieving most of the anxiety he held.

[color=71EEB8]"Afraid not, I would lend you my rebreather, but I left [/color]
the girl says, shaking firmly
[color=71EEB8]"No need to worry about me, pilikua. I can handle myself[/color]
with that, she looks up to the sky
[color=71EEB8]"Let me see, is sun east-west or west-east? I can never remember...[/color]
she mutters,  tapping her fingers against the armored greave on her right leg impatiently, trying to remember
[color=71EEB8]"So much easier to navigate back home, ocean is east, and you can see it from a mile away."[/color]
the girl complains loudly, turning to look at Nor.

Nor  had already started walking off away in the opposite direction of the  cliff, retrieving Jet Stream along the way, he'd seen she was started on  another rant and figured if she was going too spend the next half hour  talking, they may as well be moving.  [color=6ecff6]"C'mon Shrimp, we're burning day light, and  I doubt it's back the way we came,"[/color]  he said with a chuckle as he looked back to see if she'd  noticed her audience  was  missing.

As Nor departs, Kanika follows, silent for once as she constantly scans their surrondings for signs of trouble
[color=71EEB8]"You said you worked salvage before Beacon, right?[/color]
the technicolor girl inquires suddenly, still watching the forest for enemies or other students

Nor nodded at the question,  holding Jestream at the ready on one shoulder, his other hand in his  mouth as tugged at another tooth, the damn wiggled annoying the shit out  of him, [color=6cdff6]"Yeah, ish een ah aht of the famiwee as wong as-"[/color]  with a grunt of effort he pulled loose another tooth, small bit  of  blood hanging on, [color=6ecff6]"as I've been alive, so born breed I suppose,"[/color] he  finished, contemplatively staring at it before grinning at his tailer, [color=6ecff6]"Don't suppose you want  a souvenir, I hear  some places Faunas bits can fetch a good price."[/color] His tone was a casual one, but his body was obviously tensed, waiting for a sign of Grimm.


[color=71EEB8]"Nah, I only keep teeth I personally knock out of people."[/color]
she says, waving a hand dramatically.
[color=71EEB8]"Say,  you've got the teeth, any other fancy faunus abilities? Zal's got this  thing where he can breath underwater. No nightvision, though."[/color]
she asks as they continue along the path towards the temple, occasionally kicking at a rock on the ground while they went.

Nor laughed as he tossed the piece of himself into the brush, [color=6ecff6]"I imagine you must have an extensive-"[/color]

As  Nor began to speak, a terrible rumbling arose, and from the sidelines  emerged a pack of heavily armored swine. one of them charged the pair,
[color=71EEB8]"What the ever living fuck is that thing?"[/color]
Kanika shouts as she dives right, narrowly avoiding the beasts razor-sharp tusks with a sideways roll

Nor  avoided the charging Grimm as he used Jetstream's chain shot to pull  himself into a tree  above, The mace quickly  enveloping his arm  as  a  bright glow grew  at the end the hilt had previously been, [color=6ecff6]"well, and this is just a educated guess, but I think it's a roaming pack of Gri-"[/color]  the last bit was cut off as a loud *wumph* came from the cannon, a  large blue orb headed for the pack behind it. The orb landed in a silent  flash, dust cartridge springing as it discharged from the weapon, the  light fading to away to reveal most Grimm knocked about, though  seemingly still up to a fight, the one closest to the blast fighting  to  pull its leg  from a block  of ice, the area now resembling a frozen  lake due to the layer of ice on the ground.

Kanika leapt from her roll, pressing a concealed [url=https://youtu.be/gxYeW8lYUBM]play[/url] button on one of her gauntlets as she  did so, rebounding off of a tree in a rainbow tinted flash, trailing a  swirl of color as she firmly planted one armored fist into a boarbatusks  side, the beast skidded sideways as the electrified bullet shredded  into one of the thinner plates of bone covering its hide, following up  with a series of shots that send her vertical, most of them shattering  harmlessly against its thickest armor

Nor  smiled as he leapt from the tree,  Jet Stream shifting quickly to  its   default  form as he disengaged the lock on its head, lengths of chain  unspooling as he landed back on the frozen earth, aura flaring to life  as the spiked orb sailed through the air, cracking the white  face of a  passing Boarbatusk focused on diminutive partner,  the Grimm staggering  with the hit. Nor had little time to celebrate the solid hit as he saw a  pair of the creatures careening towards him, there motions wild on the  slick ice. Nor once more shot the spiked protrusion from the hilt into a  near  tree, sliding across the ice and out  of their  path as  he  retracted the chain.  He could see cracks appearing in the block holding  the other Grimm.

Kanika finally dropped from the sky, landing precariously atop one of the beasts. with a mighty blow to its rump, the beast charged, straight in line with one of its pack as she kicked off towards her own partner. Latching  onto the macehead as it launched, she  performed a hammering strike  against the side of the tethered projectile, pushing it off course where  the chain knocked several Grimm sliding. with several downward shots,  she propelled herself towards a tree, igniting in a technicolor blaze.
The  miniature huntress lands feet first against the top of the tree,  causing it to bend dangerously before springing back and sending her  rocketing into the largest beast, planting a skull-crushing fist  directly into the beasts maw, the recoil once again pushing her skyward

Nor  kept the chain extended, using the hilts chain to dart across the ice  as he encircled the pack, pulling the chain tight to trap them for the  moment, watching for Kanika's multi-hued form, [color=6ecff6]"light 'em up shrimp, I feel a barbeque comin' on."[/color] He yelled as he struggeled to keep the struggling grimm captive.

[color=71EEB8]"Oh yeah."[/color]
she  replies,  rapidly firing downward into the corraled demon swine, the  electrified hellstorm of fragmenting lead tearing apart bone and hide  alike, with the few stray shots gouging chunks from the icy terrain.  with eevery shot, she rises higher. as she stops firing, the tiny girl  drops into the injured mass of beasts, accelerating rapidly. once she  strikes the ground, a shockwave sounds as pieces of Grimm evacuate the  steaming crater.
[color=71EEB8]ARE  YOU FUCKING SORRY?!"[/color] the childlike huntress cries triumphantly  before fainting due to a severe loss of aura caused by the impact.

Nor  let out a deep laugh as he saw her fall back, "heh, very funny, get up  we gotta find those damn relics," he laughed as he walked over, prodding  her sleeping form with his leg.

No response. "C'mon on, I'm not carrying you to the thing."

He  waited helplessly as he waited for her to grow bored  of her game,  before bending down to grab her, heaving her unceremoniously over one  shoulder. [color=6ecff6]"Your scrawny ass owes me, should leave you to the forest,"[/color] the nautical Faunus muttered as he began to continue on their previous path.

The small girl begins to snore softly, still sleeping.

Suddenly  from behind, Nor heard a loud cracking noise as his head whipped back  groaning as he saw the previously trapped Boarbatusk stretching its leg  as it glared at him.  [color=6ecff6]"C'mon, just walk into the forest ya bastard,"[/color]  he mumbled, reaching  for the head of Jetstream,  watching the Grimm  carefully, the creature staring him down, the seconds seeming to tick  slowly by.


[color=6ecff6]"Please jus-"[/color]  he was cut off once more as the thing let  loose a squeal charging him  down. The cannon covered his arm once more, a dark yellow glow with  sparks coming out the vents in the weapon as the barrel narrowed at the  end, before emitting a pencil thin  stream, neatly piercing the pig  creature.

The  Grimm dropped as its dead form  slid  across the ice, Nor cursing as he  flung the smoking weapon from his arm, a yellow ejecting itself. He  looked once more at the sleeping form, [color=6ecff6]"Your scrawny ass [b]really[/b] owes me."[/color] Nor continued on his way after collecting the now cooled weapon.
