Aboard the Clematis
[hr]

[color=9e0039]"Blood Demons? I think I remember reading up about them a bit."[/color] Lucrecia said, listening to Myrilla's explanation with Kat chiming in. She raised a brow at being called 'Lulu', a nickname she didn't ask for. She looked perplexedly as the instructor went behind Kat and put her hands around her waist. Kat thought it to be, at first, a form of flirting. This was quickly proven wrong when she was forcefully flung off the airship and went head first to the ground, without a parachute one might add. [color=9e0039]"Ragazza stupida..."[/color] she uttered, shaking her head disapprovingly. While Lucrecia would normally voice an objection at such behavior, she figured they trusted this squad enough with this dangerous mission to feel that could handle such happenings. So she simply trusted her feline ally would be able to find a safe way to land. Not surprising, Myrilla also confirmed that the police had completely locked down the area so the only way in [i][b]is[/b][/i] from the air. 

Lucrecia, however, was quite shocked to hear that her apparent daughter was also a part of the initial force they lost contact with. What in the world would possess the instructor to even allow this?! Even if it was a direct order from higher up. [color=9e0039]Signora, I must say I don't approve of your daughter being sent on the front lines. But I understand it is not my place to speak any further on it. So rest assured, she will be safely returned to you in perfect health."[/color]

The rest of the maids still onboard were given parachutes, along with a demon guide book of sorts and some provisions. Seeing her comrades jump off to the burning mess of what was once a city below, Lucrecia took care to give her stock a once more look over below gracefully jumping off the ship to join them.

Cogsfell Aftermath
[hr]

Her trust wasn't misplaced, as Lucrecia descended she witnessed Kat slow her fall with a bit of magic and was able to land safely due to it. Good, one less thing to worry about. Overlooking the city, she was taken a back by the level of destruction. She knew that demons were powerful entities, but seeing their carnage first hand was another matter entirely. The city was more or less a giant crater now, littered with the debris of fallen buildings along with patches of horrid embers simmering everywhere. This was only her first mission as well, Lucrecia certainly had her work cut out for her to make a good first impression. It would start with making any possible contact with the previous unit and hopefully finding Myrilla's daughter. Not as though that's the only reason she wants to find her, mind you.

Making her touchdown, she took a moment to inspect the landscape. She saw nothing of interest so far, only hearing the occasional guttural roar along with a shriek of terror. See saw that Astreya and Senya were ready for action, the former shaking with excitement at using her gun while the latter readied hers as well - declaring she was prepared to kill. Meanwhile, Kat was complaining that the instructor didn't give them much direction as to where to start looking. 

Lucrecia drew her twinblades, spinning them in her hands for a bit. [color=9e0039]"No use in complaining now, time to get to work."[/color]
