The sound of beowolves growling drew Marina's attention after a while, and music started blasting through the air almost immediately after. [colour=bac7dd][i]'Either that's a person, or someone just dropped a music player...'[/i][/colour] she thought to herself. The sound of a scuffle rang through the forest, bullets punctuated by the swing of a sword and the growls and yelps of beowolves, and she picked up her pace a bit. [colour=bac7dd][i]'Person. Definitely a person.'[/i][/colour]

She burst into the clearing at a jog just as the purple boy she'd noticed yesterday flicking his sword to clear it of any grime before slinging it over his shoulder. His eyes flicked up, one purple and one white, to meet her own, and Marina paused for a moment.
With only a fleeting glance, he yawned lazily and snapped back to the charging beowolves. Switching Promessa back to her initial form, he took aim at the one closest to him and shot a normal round, with a howl it dropped lifeless on the floor. Another lunged directly at Pax, to which he backstepped and shoved the muzzle of the gun in it's open jaw [color=9A2EFE]"Boom."[/color]  and shot another armor piercing round into it. [color=9A2EFE]"Hey, care to jump in, miss beanstalk?"[/color] he said rather assertively while taking another glance towards the girl, who was standing behind him.

Marina jolted where she stood, realizing that just staring at someone as they were attacked was probably not the best thing to do, and readied Velocius and Fortior. She charged the remaining beowolf with her shield, smashing it across the creature's jaw, following up with a fire-dust swing from her mace. The small explosion that resulted staggered the grimm back, allowing her to heft an overhand swing directly at it's head. The mace impacted with a hefty crack, shattering the mask and caving the wolf-like creatures face in upon itself. With a final uppercut underneath it's jaw with her shield, the grimm flew back and started to dissolve.

She turned back to Purple Boy, as she had been calling him in her head, [colour=bac7dd]"Aren't you the boy who got kicked by the midget at dinner last night?"[/colour]
[color=9A2EFE]"No that was my cousin, Rodriguez."[/color] he replied, rather jokingly.
[colour=bac7dd]"...Oh. That's sarcasm, isn't it?"[/colour] She asked. [colour=bac7dd]"Right. Um, I guess we're partners now. I'm Marina. Marina Radcliffe."[/colour]
Looking at her rather intently, he was trying to gauge her skill, [color=9A2EFE]"Hm, Pax. Pax Ianthe."[/color] he responded, [color=9A2EFE]"Let's find the damn temple, I am getting tired."[/color]

Marina tilted her head back, glancing at the sun again. [colour=bac7dd]"North is this way. I suppose we'd best get a move on."[/colour]
 Shrugging, he began following Marina,  [color=9A2EFE]"Let's hope you're right"[/color]
[colour=bac7dd]"Directional competency is something all students are taught at the Atlas Military Academy."[/colour] She rattled off, sounding like she was repeating a spiel someone had given her at one stage. As he followed, she thought to herself, [colour=bac7dd][i]'...At least he's not tiny?'[/i][/colour]
[color=9A2EFE]"Right right, lead the way princess."[/color] he replied, with a hint of boredom and tiredness.

Marina gave a concerned glance at her new partner, hoping he wasn't just going to fall asleep here in the middle of the forest as she led the way north. That would be super unlucky for her, having to carry him all the way to the temple and back.
Swiftly aiming his gun towards Marina, he shot, only to hit a lunging Beowolf, [color=9A2EFE]"No use for that directional competency when you're dead."[/color] he said to her, rather nonchalantly [color=9A2EFE]"I value tactical awareness more I guess, but I digress. Let's hurry it's getting dark."[/color]
Marina whirled as the shot rang out and stared at the dissolving beowolf. [colour=bac7dd]"Thank you."[/colour] She softly said. [colour=bac7dd][i]'Get your head in the game, Marina. Pull it together.'[/i][/colour]
