Letting the shield go, it falling to the ground with a loud clatter against the ground, she took a moment to herself to catch her breath as she was panting heavily. She could already feel how sore her muscles were going to be tomorrow. Straightening her posture, she smiled warmly at the other presumed Iron Rose who introduced herself. [b]"It is a pleasure to meet you, Dame Dante. I am Marianne Delacroix."[/b] After the pleasantries were done.. [b]"Yes, that was definitely [i]different[/i]. However, I will be adhering to my own style as is tradition. I do thank you for your offer, regardless."[/b] Marianne declining the offer politely, graciously. She felt tired, but they had to continue. Quickly checking herself for wounds and her equipment, taking advantage of the respite, she nodded when she was satisfied. [b]"Right. We must continue onward. [i]Allons.[/i]"[/b] Pointing at the assassin girl, she then pointed to the forward direction. [b]"You. Remain in front. Do [i]not[/i] leave our sight again."[/b] With that, Marianne advanced at the head of the group. Once again walking and standing tall, though being mindful to learn from the experience. Her eyes looking down at the bones of the skeletons as a slight shiver traveled up her spine. Heels clacking rapidly as she moved at a brisk pace. [@Araby264][@VitaVitaAR]
