Grizel, surprised at Daiki's sudden dragging, stumbled as she fled from the raining projectiles. Taking rest under a catapult, she sighed with relief, knowing that nothing else was likely to hit her for the moment."Ah, don't worry 'bout it," Grizel would have returned the smile, but she was currently poking at her face with disgust and worry. Did she even have time to wash it before that ceremony thing? "Saving my life's nothing to apologise for."When the rag was offered however, Grizel immediately grabbed it and scrubbed at her face, hopefully getting rid of the worst of the grime. She sighed gratefully, holding the rag out for Daiki, then quickly retracted it when she noticed just how dirty she'd made it."Uh, sorry, did you need this? Um... I could, I dunno, wash it out for you or something?" Grizel offered with a concerned look. With a quick glance at the surrounding area, she added, "Though we should maybe make a break for it, too. Just in case."

Daiki smiled. "It's just a rag, feel free to throw it away after you're done with it." He offered kindly. He scanned the path ahead to see if there were any more traps lying ahead. Everyone was making their way in unmolested, so he sighed with relief. "Looks like we're clear to enter... Honestly, whoever did this has no sense of timing. I would have waited until [i]after[/i] the ceremony."

After making his way in, Daiki picked the least conspicuous corner in the back and just shrunk himself inside it. No point calling more attention to himself than necessary. He listened as Arrun made his speech, quirking an eyebrow at the words. This school wasn't big on hope and optimism, it seemed. Though it suited Daiki just fine - he had fought enough Grimm to know the truth of Arrun's words... Everything he learnt he had done so from practice, and he sure as hell wouldn't have taken up the recommendation if he hadn't want to take that first step beyond the forest.

"That was... interesting." He commented more to himself than Grizel. He turned to her and reclined his head toward the door. "I could use a bite, you hungry?"
