Though her initial expectations towards whether or not her attempts at drawing attention were working were low, the fact that the deer at her side had managed to make up for her shortcomings were at least [i]something[/i] of a relief to Misaki. She felt bad making the animal attack the slime, hesitant as it seemed to be, but the magic it was able to lob out was most certainly better than her random rocks and sticks.

Of course, seeing the slime consume one of the hunters caused the foxgirl's face to pale. It was most certainly a matter of life and death now, but that didn't change how it was still somewhat jarring to see someone die right in front of her.

Luckily enough, though, the escalation of combat coupled with the arrival of the group they were planning to ambush gave her enough time to compose herself enough to heed Narkissa's words as she drew closer.

"...Right, let's retreat, then. I'd rather get the people who can fight at this point now that their ambush is dead in the water," she said, gesturing towards the deer to follow as she began to head back the way she had come from.

Hopefully the chaos of combat would be enough to let them all get away without a hitch...
