[u][h3]Kuhaku Shiro - Lakeside[/h3][/u] Bandage-wrapped arm shooting out of the waters and grabbing onto land, Shiro dragged his body from the lake and onto firm ground. Despising the odd feeling of gravity being amplified on his body as he surfaced, he pulled the goggles and rebreather mask from his face and set them to his side. Letting himself drip-dry for a moment, Shiro turned and sat to catch his breath. Looking at Perun attached to his left arm, Shiro quietly brooded. Looking back at the lake, he couldn't figure out just how in the world he was going to manage to fight off that amphibious Grimm. It killed him to know he was so close to potentially achieving his goal. If he could somehow force it to surface, Shiro would fare a much better chance. He just wasn't experienced in engaging in underwater combat. [i]"Water levels freakin' suck, dude..."[/i] Forcefully huffing, Shiro shook himself off. [i]"Maybe the other guys have a better plan, we'll just have to see."[/i] Pouting, he waited for the others to surface. If they couldn't manage something today, they may have to come back another time. Further prolonging the dagger retrieval. Shiro wasn't pleased with that thought.
