[color=A89384]"You know, if you're scared you can probably turn back now."[/color]

Lorral subtly turned her head away from the Grimm to see who it was that had addressed her directly, noting the young female who happened to look about her own age. Her soft scarf and quaint choice of clothing were freshly soaked, dripping with water and giving the impression that the fabrics had gathered more weight than what they truly intended to have. Still, everyone was at the same disadvantage with the weather and it helped balance the playing field. Fortunately for Lorral with the weather had been so sour, she had heard the splatter from the woman's footsteps on the damp ground, a sound that tarnished Caro's element of stealth.

[color=eedc82]"I'm far from scared, but honestly taken back at Vyod's level of confidence."[/color] Lorral turned her sights back to the beast knowing that her statement was mostly true. Vyod, the fellow Beacon Academy student, was the first one into the fight and his opening move was to taunt the beast into attacking his direction. Lorral knew that the male had some unique skills, that his semblance was an ability that gave him a real [i]edge[/i] over any opponent. She just worried that this aggressive move may cost him.

Within the growing mix was another individual who had entered the fresh fray, a young looking female with an aura of patriotism that one would dare not challenge. Her scream of allegiance for her nation and the begging remarks for the beast to attack her were words that could inspire one to follow a cause and to take up the fight to the enemy; it was a shame that those words held no power over Lorral, a girl from a once opposing nation. Lorral watched as Marina took a hit square on, watched as the Goliath of a beast impacted her with all it's might, and yet she didn't seem to falter, almost like her level of resolve was beyond that of a god.

A grimacing expression washed over Lorral's face knowing that her only choice was to get up close and personal with the Grimm. With the sun behind the clouds and the day drifting further into the night her Solar semblance was a skill that she could not rely on in this twisted battle. No solar slash abilities meant quite simply no ranged attacks, and under her breath she cursed the world for playing such a cruel card.

The young Vale girl turned to Caro to spout an important request, a request of, [color=eedc82]"Will you cover me? I need to get in there to aid the others."[/color]

[color=A89384]“Yeah, let's go kill us a Grimm.”[/color], Caro acknowledged Lorral's plea, a response that appeared eager and excited about the undertaking. With this new found sense of companionship Lorral set forth to slay the creature that was harassing the town.

As Lorral ran she could see something in the far distance, through the down pouring rain and cool mist; the silhouette of another male came steadily into view. Although his allegiance was unrecognisable through the harsh weather, his actions and motions said otherwise. He waved his weapon in the air, commanding an action that appeared to announce attack. Seeing this Lorral felt a deep sign of courage knowing that in this fight the chances of success were growing by the minute, that people were stepping forth from the hidden shadows to a common cause and challenge.

As Solar Lily was drawn across Lorral's body she closed in for her first confrontation since setting off on her adventure. The right hand clutched the grip, controlling the activation of the dust powered energy arc, while the left fingers pinched the back of the blade to form a makeshift brace. She was closing in towards the large, muscular legs of the beast, hoping that a heavy impact to this point would help stagger the fight, to draw it out and find a suitable opening for that eventual final blow.

She used the weight of her body to thrust her blade forward, throwing it from above her head and into the exposed lower limb. The downward force held enough energy to launch the footing of the girl of the ground, allowing her body to hover in the air for a brief moment in time. This sudden attack, this annoyance, caught the beast off guard and in a reactive instant it went to swipe at her, to knock away the pest that had performed a dirty sneak attack. As fate would have it, Lorral was already thinking two steps in advance.

Utilising her momentum and a powerful twist of the wrist, Lorral carefully spun her body around in order to land both of her boots upon the above knee of the titan. Where a normal attacker would have initially found an opportunity to back-pedal away, the light and nimble girl had managed to create an opportunity where she was able pounce away and plan her second engagement. Her tactics paid off as she made her leap, narrowly missing a backhanded swipe that would have easily knocked her out.
