Before any statue breaking was done, Jesse suggested that they hold on until they could consult with the other half of their group. [color=D34C25]"Prudent,"[/color] Primrose commented with a nod of her head. If they operated under the assumption that freeing the bell's clapper was a dangerous move, then they should at least give the others a heads up first. Therion did not feel much better about the whole plan even with the delay. Beneath his shawl he crossed his arms, and in the one visible scarlet washed eye his misgivings about the situation were clear to see. 

Well now that the ground team had decided on waiting to ring the bell, the next course of action would be getting into contact with those in the air. Primrose caught the end of her scarf between two fingers and rubbed it, considering if she should just go up there. Fortunately Alibaba descended instead, halting Ciella's firing and informing the Grimleal captain that those fighting the serpent had also come to the conclusion that the situation was off. A few minutes later and the entirety of the group of Seekers was reunited on the mountain. Once they landed, Primrose could see that some among those that had taken to the sky were tense. She wondered what had gone on up above, but instead of asking she chimed in after Robin to answer Tora's question.

[color=D34C25]"It is possible that ringing the bell will... conjure another enemy,"[/color] she said for lack of better words. It was just speculation, but as long as the chance was there surely they could understand that they hadn't wanted to dump that on their companions without so much as a warning. 

It might have been the wrong choice, or maybe the sky team would have come back down without slaying Phalanx even if they had freed the bell's clapper, but either way not taking care of the colossus was an oversight that quickly came back to bite them. All eyes turned upward as Poppi pointed out that the monster was coming right for them.

Swift in the sky the beast came down on them, bringing a burst of wind so strong it more than rivaled that of the blizzard raging below them. Primrose was quick to take shelter behind Braum's shield, and Therion scrambled to join her. They hunkered down, resisting the wind front. Even though it was just one of many times that day that they were threatened with being blown off a cliff, it was just as terrifying as the first time. It was a miracle that Braum's shield held up as much as it did, even as it's ice wall shattered apart the man did not let those he defended take any damage. Phalanx flew by and the Travelers regrouped. 

Primrose went to kneel by Braum, doing her best to shove the heavy shield just enough out of the way to make sure he didn't have any life threatening injuries. Though unconscious he seemed fine for the moment. Cautiously she stood, watching the continue on.

[color=BC8DBF]"Decoy or not we have to kill this thing before it kills [i]us[/i],"[/color] Therion said. He wasn't privy to the conversations the aerial group had on the colossus' back, he only knew that between that rabbit woman's arrows and whatever the other team was doing, it had seemed to be working. The thief drew his blade. Phalanx was low enough to ram them, so the rest of it's body as it snaked back up into the sky was just over head. Therion aimed his blade at the remaining gas sack, but he wasn't fast enough to pierce it before it passed by. The sword caught on the hard belly scares of the beast, it's momentum easily knocking Therion off his feet and into one of the stone statues surrounding the rim of the bell. The fragile chain the effigy was holding broke and slid into the darkness below, though Therion paid it little mind. He got back to his feet and prepared the glider to deal with the problem himself if need be.

On the slaying of Phalanx Primrose agreed with him. Hoping to catch any of the group before they took to the sky again, Primrose began to dance as soon as the wind died down enough for her to not lose her footing. With practice footwork and sensual twists the dance of Sealticge's Seduction was completed, once again empowering her enough to buff all of her allies in the area. With a few more turns the Lions Dance saw to it that their strength was increased.
