[u][h3]Kuhaku Shiro - Lakebed[/h3][/u]

He had every intention to fight the Grimm head on alone. He was fully prepared to take a nasty first hit. He realized what a bad situation this was and knew he had no real plan on getting out of it unharmed. Just as he was about to launch himself at the frog-face, a hand grabbed his arm and broke him out of his tunnel-vision focus. Turning his head, his eyes met with the 'other sword-and-board' user. Shiro really was bad with names. The guy pointed with his other hand towards the surface and for a moment, Shiro didn't quite understand. Thinking he maybe meant for Shiro to give up and head back, he shook his head and pointed at the pile of loot. He wasn't about to abandon Sapphire's daggers when they were so close to being recovered. Shooting the guy an angry look, it wasn't until he noticed the displaced trail of what looked like bullets whizzing through the water towards the Amphibian Grimm that Shiro reconsidered taking the guy's advice and resurfacing. Gren did say that they were here to help. Maybe they had some sort of plan? At the very least, once Shiro surfaces he can use his Semblance to give them a better fighting edge.

[i]"Agh! No, I should reserve that for emergencies instead of using it every chance I get!"[/i]
He didn't know what to do. He really needed to work on that 'planning' thing more.
Shiro exhaled another bunch of bubbles out of exasperation.
[i]"Fine! I'll bite!"[/i]
Shiro turned back to face the black-haired guy and nodded once, jabbing a thumb upwards towards the surface.
Looking at the Grimm and to the pile of loot, he didn't feel good about abandoning it. But, he knew where it was. He could easily return to it.
Kicking off of the lakebed and exhaling continuously as he rose through the waters, Shiro made his way back topside.
Unsure of himself and how to proceed once he made his way back down to face that Grimm.
