[color=f7941d]Lucia Isamu[/color]

Lucia was in the middle of fiddling around with her earpiece when the truck hit a bump and sent everyone flying out into the air. Lucia's mind quickly shifted to combat mode the moment her feet left the ground, slowing down everything into a crawl as her instincts went into overdrive. Her eyes rapidly scanned her surroundings for her allies and their apparent trajectory. With no time to waste, Lucia released her staff as it shot off towards her own estimated landing spot. Then, in a series of fluid motions, she took out and threw a handful of rune cards, each one aimed towards her estimate of someone's landing spot, with an extra prioritization on the Isamu heir. The cards would project strong upward gusts of air strong enough to soften their presumably rough landings.

Lucia's staff pierced the ground which was buried deeper as Lucia's foot slammed on the protruding end with her entire weight behind it, an action that would've certainly harmed her if it weren't for the application of magic. The Staff user quickly jumped off and entered a battle stance as her weapon quickly pulled itself out of the ground and flew into the palm of her hands. She kept Whina in her peripheral vision as her eyes scoured the surroundings for any signs of danger. 

If memory served her right, Whina has no battlefield experience, at least in all the time she has known her. In other words, she was a non-combatant. Seeing said girl in the talons of a giant mythical bird would've alarmed her more if she didn't see Rena transform into the bird in question. For now, she had to trust the shapeshifter for the girl's safety until they've properly assessed the situation.
