[b]Kotori Shirohane - Hall of the Slain: Floor 1 | Sunday[/b] The lightning bolt struck home - and the wolf-like shadow recoiled from the hit, clearing the path for Alexei to charge in and attack the humanoid shadow. Unfortunately, unlike the hound, it didn't seem too impressed by the hit; immediately going for a counter-attack together with its companion against their assailant. Alexei in turn, however, didn't seem much worse for wear as he shrugged the attack off and denying any immediate need for healing attention despite Kotori insistence - instead, they should rather focus on their foe and save any healing for when it was really necessary. Kaminari seemed to be of the same opinion as, upon observing how their enemies took the hits they'd been dealt, he ordered an all-out attack on the wolf so that they could hopefully turn the odds more in their favour. [color=green]"Right,"[/color] Kotori nodded at that before turning to track the wolf - it seemed to already know that there were more attacks incoming as it was skittering from side to side to make itself a harder target. Nonetheless, Kotori hoped that her attack would strike home again as she called upon Kikuri-Hime once more: [color=green]"Zionga,"[/color] she called for - which was immediately followed by another lightning bolt courtesy of the flowery shrine maiden that was her persona; even as Kotori's eyes darted to her companions, readying herself to cast a healing spell should they require it after the inevitable counter-attack of their enemies.
