[♪] Nanami shifted to look at Alm, starting to study him as he spoke, raising both eyebrows in a look of slight surprise. She had never heard him talk like that before, especially the fascination of the old world really caught her attention as most people wrote it off as ancient history and just looked to live day to day - which wasn't a bad policy by any means. Furthermore, his comment about his apparent guardianship of her well-being had also caught her off-guard, leaving her to simply watch as the man wandered off. A part of her ego puffed just slightly, telling her that she didn't need protection, but mostly she felt a strange sensation of safety and after a moment she smiled softly to herself. It was nice to know her back was being watched and that he apparently thought as high of her as he did.

As the group rested, she took the time to causally look over the ruins and thought about what Alm said, slightly regretful that they could not spend more time here. She was sure she could find secrets here and lore and it gave shivers of excitement to think what could be found. Before too long though, they were on their way and mostly Nanami was quiet and simply observant as she always was - not that everyone knew or cared, but her attention to detail was quite excellent and so she spent her time analyzing her environment until finally they were upon the later door, which left her gasping slightly in awe. She almost wanted to run to it like a little girl and marvel at it!

Alas, her father gave the group two options, which Alm was quick to offer an opinion. Again, she was a bit impressed! Though a part of her simply wanted to know what secret the man supposedly found that might unlock mankind's past - was it true or simply a fool's errand? Even she in her studies, had so much to learn from her blade songs and that had a rich and strangely mysterious lore on its own - so it was truly hard to say what truth this man thought he found. She still wanted to know what it was, but Alm also had a very valid and ethical point. "I agree," she said quickly. "Beyond the idea that he did find something truly wonderful, I am not keen on being irresponsible by letting them do as they please. Normally I may chime in with the idea of talks, but they clearly don't care." She shot a look Alm's way with an approving nod.

[♪] And thus the battle was over almost as soon as it began - truly the mercenary company was not to be underestimated, which on some level, gave Nanami a sense of pride, but she knew her father had an eye for true talent. That was probably the reason he ended up letting her tag along, even as protective as he was, but now wasn't the time to dwell on such things, for she had the heart of a scholar locked away behind a warrior's training.

She soon found herself sitting on a piece of old, fallen pillar, sliding the journal from before and scanning it over once more. She figured most might have forgotten the find in the scuffle as well as the introduction of the strangers, though father was taking care of that. This is what she was good at, after all. Her eyes traveled back towards deeper in the ruins, guessing they had a little ways to go before finding anything of worth, since the pair had come from within.

To her mild surprise, she heard Alm's voice and glanced over with a soft smile. While most of the company more or less waved her presence off as one of the new recruits, she had known Alm for a little while now. They had not spoken at great length, but it was enough to be familiar and it was unlike the protectiveness of a father, which made her a bit more comfortable. Though a part of her could not help but smirk, but only in the slightest. 'Ah, not really my first fight, but...' Twas a fleeting thought though as she nodded. "I'm doing quite well, actually and no, my wings were not clipped." She smiled again, enjoying the title she had somewhat earned and the play on words.

"I was just thinking about the puzzle referred to in the journal... and it's hard to say. It could be nonesense, something worth looking into it of course, but then one must wonder - is it a trap or are there creatures awaiting us inside?" She let out a soft sigh. "When it comes to the ruins of the old world, there is no telling sometimes. What I had to go through to sing my songs with my blade was... certainly not something I expected. So a part of me hopes to see something truly fantastic while the other part of me hopes it is nothing, for the safety of everyone - not that we cannot take care of ourselves, of course." She paused, glancing to Alm, reading his face. "What do you think?"

@Arthanus - It's no worries, but Nanami helped Yui shoot +1 times and then she disarmed one to help the others take it out using Sharp Cord. She never hit anyone. =3

Bloodrose Irregulars - After The Fall (Dark Fantasy Adventure) -=Remake=-

Haha, Nanami didn't kill a single enemy! ... I mean, she probably assisted in two kills though. =3

[♪] Nanami watched as the rush of events unfolded before her, starting with the thundering of Yui's gun, to seeing all the warriors rush, ending with an interruption by the appearance of a giant of a man swinging his axe wildly. There was something to be said about the flow of battle, the thoom of war drums in the background as blades clashed and lives were ended and it was enough to give Nanami pause. She wasn't scared mind you, but acutely aware and it felt like the battle field was unfolding slowly before her eyes as the steady beat whispered in her ears.

There were only four warriors left and a single archer, whom were all distracted by the giant, though the archer would soon be taken care of she was sure, with the aid of Pox and his smoke cover. Instead, it was time to focus on the warriors at hand and Nanami felt it best to do what only she could do - she took off and darted around the field until she could clearly see the last of the snake men warriors, who mostly had their attention on Hafrbjǫrn. First she spun, catching most of the front liners in her song, which radiated a soothing and calming song contrasting the heat of battle. She wasn't absolutely sure that no one had gotten hurt, so this would heal their minor wounds or at least keep them from bleeding out before Pox and Gwen could give them proper treatment.

Then without hesitation, she weaved her blade like a writer would with a quill, pointing it to the remaining warriors, catching at least two of them in the sharp, harsh tones of her songs. Though it wasn't enough to make them panic or retreat on their own, only they could hear the hissing dark tones, causing them to falter in their strikes. One of them shook it's head, looking right at Nanami and hissing in anger, but it wouldn't matter because one of the other warriors would probably deal with him before he had time to exact his revenge for her interference.

@Athol - Yes! This a quote from my character sheet - so it's more of a tune than a full song.

𝄞 Quickening Strike: Weaving the blade in a quick motion, the Songblade can speed their attacks up for a short amount of time or boon another ally with the same quickness. (Quick, catchy notes)

[♪] Hearing her name, she gracefully stepped around the bodies before making her way to her father, listening to him as she felt his hand on her head. A more stubborn daughter may have huffed and felt Jing was condensing, but Nanami knew it was only out of love that the man felt so protective over her, feeling him pull her into a hug. She had never been super close to her family, even her father, but ever since she joined there seemed to be more of a connection between the two that she appreciated. She was just thankful she did not disclose all the details of her trip to acquire her songs - Jing would probably have not let her come along if he knew, but she was stronger willed than he was willing to admit.

Still, she returned the hug happily and squeezed before letting go and smiling at her father. "Try not to worry father... I think my songs will be of more use than anyone realizes yet. I'll be careful though, I promise." She nodded. She quietly wished she had learned the one to dispel poison, but how often did that really come up? She had so much more to learn anyways. Giving Jing a pat on the shoulder, she went about preparing the dead to be moved, since she couldn't move them herself. Before long though, she heard yells and watched as everyone scrambled. 'Action indeed.'

Nanami quietly pulled to the middle of the group, recognizing her mixed roles, being able to fight but also support - this way she could give much needed back up to the main fighters of the group, glancing over to Yui for a minute in thought. 'Fitting that she is singing a quiet tune.' No one had truly seen what Nanami was able to do just yet, even Jing had only seen a examples of it, but she only knew of the bard that was able to weave song into magical auras and even they were rare. Point being, she decided to keep quiet and just her thing - probably best to speed Yui's shots (@Athol), so she could at least get one more in, but she'd need to weave her blade right before the battle began.

@Arthanus - Well, definitely think I'll post tomorrow. Probably the morning, if not, then the afternoon. ^-^
