[color=F0A485]"W-wait! I seriously need a hand!"[/color] The look on the girls face was priceless as [u]Dragonheart[/u] turn his back on her. He was kidding right?! Surely he was! Just as she was about to call out to him again though, the man turned around with a wide grin on his face. That scoundrel was teasing her! She wasn't sure if it was the blood rushing to her face from embarrassment, or simply because she was hanging upside down so gravity, but the red-faced girl awaited her ally to cut her down-albeit pondering for a moment how he would achieve the feat. She was a fair bit up above, so she doubted he would be able to-

[color=F0A485]"Eh?"[/color] Her thoughts were cut much like the strings of her parachute by the blades he flung at her. In the time it took her to let out a shriek much the same as she had been doing aboard the VTOL earlier, [u]Dragonheart[/u] had moved into the dropzone and caught the lightly built Vulpo rather easily. [color=F0A485]"D-Don't scare me like that!"[/color] Even redder than before, the girl let him know her displeasure at his little 'joke' and subsequent sudden cutting down-though admittedly the second part she had literally asked for.

Though she quietened down rather quickly, despite the pout and obvious irritation she showed, as he began to explain their options though. She would give him an earful later on how to treat a lady! Right now, as he quite obviously had found out, she was hurt, they had little idea of where they were, limited supplies due to the sudden nature of their evac, and that was just to name a few of their problems! Well duh the storm wasn't normal! Well that's what the girl wanted to say, but instead kept her outbursts bottled up in her as she gave him a smoldering glare to accompany her pout, especially when he offered to carry her. She would never be able to live it down if the others found out she had to be carried! She was treated like a kid enough as it was!

After a moment to consider the options, she wriggled out of his arms, landing with her arms and tails outstretched and letting out a little groan. Ok, that hurt a little. But nothing a mature woman couldn't handle! [color=F0A485]"I'm fine! A little beat up, but nothing a little dressing won't fix. The uh real deal is a lot....more intense than I could've thought hahaha."[/color] Accompanying her nervous laugh was the constant anxious swishing of her tails as she surveyed their surroundings for a moment. [color=F0A485]"Option 3 is a no go...this place creeps me out."[/color] Shivering as to prove her point, she patted down at her clothes as if to make sure everything was still in one piece. No immediate pangs of pain, she could move ok-so nothing serious then!

[color=F0A485]"For now, I think we should start heading to Riventor. We might be able to run into the others along the way, and I'm sure that wherever they ended up they're probably heading that way yeah? Anyway, I'm Will-O-Wisp, and you're uh [u]Dragonheart[/u] right?"[/color] Forever the optimist, unless she had seen her teammates and fellow operators demise, it seemed unlikely anyone would be able to sway her to think any differently. She went to take a step forward when a sudden [i]snapping[/i] sound filled the woods around them. Almost immediately, Kit's ears and tails stood at attention, her little body swerving to face the source of the sound. Well, her face wasn't red anymore was the positive to be find here. The bad news? Well, that was because she was as pale as a ghost at the sight that was closing in on them.

Larger than her with jet black fur, teeth glistening in the dimly lit forest as she knew that it's piercing red gaze had settled on her-some sort of monstrous wolf had found them, singling her out as his prey. She seemed frozen in place as her mind frantically began to go over her training. Ah yes, of course this was the answer!

[color=F0A485]"On second thought, please do carry me!"[/color] Almost immediately the girl turned around and leapt back into his arms, tails wrapping around him for support as she curled up against the larger man. She was no chance of outrunning this beast! And this way, they would be able to flee faster! A genius plan if she said so.
