Nico's tail stopped swaying once the oh-so-generous offer was extended to her as well, matched by the pout on her face.

[color=FE93EC]"Friendly chat my butt... besides, I don't really want to lay down my hex orb. If everyone did that, we'd just be causing the disaster we're meant to be avoiding! 'S not like I want to fight you, either..."[/color]

If her transformation had cat ears to go alongside it, they would've surely perked up now as the horrible, gnawing feeling became stronger and stronger after she'd said those words. The girl was aware that shades had formed around them, but from her vantage point she was still pretty safe. The mawless creatures observed her just as much as she did them, considering Nico had almost completely disregarded the other two magical girls at this point. [color=FE93EC]"Not really sure why I should be entertainin' either, but these guys are a little more important than you..."[/color] she muttered while continuing to observe the shades. The forestry wasn't very thick, barely a couple of trees between the park and rest of the city, but it was enough to hide the fighting. She didn't need to worry about having to lure the shades somewhere else.

[color=FE93EC]"Alright, let's go! [i]Felid[/i]!"[/color]

Light twirled around Nico as she launched herself out of the tree and right into a pack of them, spinning through the air and leaving after-images of her scratch marks in the air. Two of the shades were deftly cut up on her landing without Nico breaking a sweat. The duo melted into a smokey mist that evaporated around the girl, who now found herself in the middle of all of the shades. Two, four, seven... o-oh. There were quite a few more than she was expecting.

[color=FE93EC]"...Hey uh, foxy, mind helping me out a bit?"[/color] Nico sheepishly asked the kitsune-like magical girl before ducking out of the way of one of the shades' pounces. The second that tried to jump her was promptly met with claws impaling its underbelly, though it did manage to swipe at Nico while she briefly let her guard down. The damage wasn't major and she'd probably be fine handling all of them on her own if she used Clowder, but going all-out in front of the purple-haired one seemed like a bad idea. Besides, the fox lady was probably nice enough to help, wasn't she?
