Acero rested his weapon on his shoulder as he trudged back to his team, the servos in his robotic arm making very audible noise with each step he took. He was glad to see that his new team could hold their own against a sizable force of Grimm without too many issues. The cyborg took glances at his teammates, checking to see if they had any wounds or problems that needed dealing with before turning back towards Savas.

"Tch," he breathed out before saying, "next time let's get a dropship that can actually shoot at stuff on the ground, it'd save us the trouble of dealing with all of them by ourselves. Other than that, I think I'm good for now." Acero then kneeled down, awaiting new orders to come from his new team leader, who he was becoming more and more comfortable with the more times he heard that iconic voice of his.

Ribeiro tried her best to fade away into the background, hoping nobody would notice her, but at the same time hoped somebody would. Her silent call came from her intimidating leader.

"Y-yes I'm ok" she replied quickly, still unnerved by Savas' imposing figure she silently followed the rest of her team from behind at a noticeably farther distance away.

Kei continued to say nothing, face remaining blank. All he did was give the smallest of nods in response to Savas's question, so small that he might as well not have moved his head. He wanted to replace his two expended lances but didn't want to draw more attention, so he settled for retrieving the hollow shells and slotting them back into his tubular sheath. Still didn't look at Ribeiro in order to hide his emotions.

Taking a few steps forward, Savas had to pause for a moment as the weariness from using his semblance set in to his body. Despite feeling completely alive in his fight against the Grimm, his semblance did take a toll on his body over time. Hiding his weariness by looking back at his comrades and trying to look somewhat concerned for them, he noticed that they still did not seem to want to talk very much. Acero seemed to be the most talkative of the bunch, however, both Kei and Ribeiro seemed as if they wanted to not  be noticed by anyone at all. "Ngggrh...try and stay close" he remarked, noticing that Ribeiro seemed to be drifting further away from the group. Turning back to face the front, Savas continued to trudge forward, focusing on the mission at hand.

As the group walked further away from the village, the tracks they were following appeared to grow in number as more and more of them came out from the brush around them to join into one large group. Stopping for a moment at an track that was different from the others, Savas knelt to inspect it further. Unlike the others that had claw-like markings in the ground that indicated a Beowolf, the marking here was larger and had more of a hoof-like mark.

Seeing that the hoof-prints were spread out further than the others around it, Savas could only presume that this create was much larger than others. Turning to the others on his team, he pointed at the print. "Any of you recognize this print?" he asked simply. "Too small to be a Goliath, but bigger than any other I've ever seen" he added, his voice rumbling through the forest as he looked around for any other clues.

As Acero followed his team leader, he noticed that Kei and Ribeiro were slowly drifting away from the group as they trudged forward. With a heavy sigh, he got behind his two teammates and started to push them along. "C'mon, c'mon, we need to stay close like the big man says. We're a team after all, are we not?" he said to them both before stopping to look at the tracks Savas was studying.

The cyborg hummed in thought as he stared at the odd hoof print, not having seen it before. "Hmm, only Grimm I know that has hooves are boarbatusks, and I'm pretty sure they don't get that big. I don't know much about the Vale region though, so don't take my word too seriously," Acero said before splitting his weapon in two, weary of a potential ambush.

A hoof print? Like a horse? A horse grimm? Travels in agroup...I feel like I've heard about that somewhere...was it a rumor?...Did this come up somewhere in class?...


Her train of thought was interrupted as she felt Acero push her along. Acero's carefree personality was the kind she was not good with, but enjoyed nontheless. It was the kind of attitude she wanted to mirror. "Right, we are!" a little louder then intended. Catching herself as if she did something embarassing she hid her mouth with the sleaves of her jacket.

Upon feeling Acero's hand start pushing his back, Kei noticeably flinched, jerking clear from his teammate with worry clear on his face. Continuing to back away from Acero, he almost bumped into Savas examining the footprint. His mind was still flying along from that single contact for him to take much notice of Savas's question. Subconsciously, his left hand stroked the back of his spine, feeling the smooth metal structure.

Getting a rather minimal response from half the team, Savas merely grunted as he continued to inspect the track. Looking closely, the track seemed to stick to the dirt road as if it was making its way towards wherever the road led. "Ngggrh...maybe it's not more than a person on horseback..." he muttered, loud enough for the others to hear. Horseback, huh? he thought for a moment. It was then that he noticed that the prints weren't exactly like that of a horse. A horse Grimm? As if it triggered something from memory, he remembered hearing about a type of Grimm before in class. I thought they were just rumors though...

Looking at the others, Savas assessed briefly and noticed that there still appeared to be some tension between everyone. Standing up completely, he tried to look reassuringly at Ribeiro and Kei, but barely managed that. "Let's keep moving and follow the road" he said simply. "Hopefully these are simply tracks of some Boarbatusks and Beowolves" he added in answer to what Acero said. "Let's form two pairs so that we can cover each other's back. Acero, you team up with Kei. Ribeiro, you'll be with me. Let's move." With that, he continued to walk purposefully down the road, eyes warily looking through the forest around them as well as listening carefully for any noise. Please let it be nothing more than a herd of Boarbatusks he thought as the hairs on the back of his neck seemed to stand on edge. ...and not a Nuckelavee...

As Acero pushed Ribeiro and Kei along, her shyness made him smirk a little for just a moment, completely overshadowed by Kei's reaction to him touching his back. The cyborg could feel something cold and metal, the feeling all too familiar to one such as him. One one hand, he was a bit relieved to not be the only person with robotics implanted into them, but on the other, Acero felt sorry for Kei. Even his torn body didn't have to deal with a spinal implant to keep on going.

As he heard Savas' words, the fourth-year walked over to his teammate, about to give him a pat on the back for a split-second before realizing the reacting that had brought out, instead opting for a shoulder tap with his human hand. "You can count on me to watch your back, sorry if I scared you with that push, man," Acero said as he started to walk beside his teammate. Acero was more acquainted with the types of Grimm that could survive in the harsh cold, the ones that could survive in the more temperate climates were all but unknown to him.

At the mention of being paired with Savas, Ribeiro barely squeacked a reply in response. She'd rather face another horde of Grimm. Reluctantly Ribeiro walked alongside Savas, but a noticeabley gap was in between the two for a pair meant to be working together.

"........." Kei stared at Acero with his blank face, long enough to unnerve him, before settling with an "......okay." Maintaining a short distance between him and his teammate, he continued to look at his partner's prosthetics with a mixture of interest and confustion. "...want me to scout ahead?" He suggested softly, attempting to move even further from Acero.

Taking note of Ribeiro's noticeable distance between the two of them, Savas merely shrugged it off, knowing that it was inevitable that she would still be nervous around him. Checking on the other two and noticing the same tension between them, he simply sighed before turning his attention back to the forest surrounding them. The road was nothing more than a tightly packed dirt road, but the grooves within the dirt pointed to the vehicle traffic that also passed through.

However, if there was one thing that bothered Savas the most, it wasn't the lack of traffic on the road; it was the eerily quiet that surrounded the team. The lack of birds singing in the air as well as the rustling of the trees only made the hair on his neck stand as a bead of sweat slid down his neck. Something doesn't feel right here... he thought, scanning the trees more carefully as the team continued to proceed down the road.

After what felt like an eternity of awkward walking, Savas and the others turned a corner on the road to what appeared to be a battlefield. Demolished wagons littered the roadside while bloodied bodies of both human and horses alike laid dead near the destruction. "Ngggrh...look for survivors, but stay in your pairs" he growled, turning to his teammates before quickening his pace to the front of the wagon line where he proceeded to look through the first wagon for survivors.

Acero sighed heavily as he laid his eyes on the demolished wagons, the sight of the bodies making him tighten his grip on his weapons. "Why don't you let me scout ahead since I can tell you don't want to be near me in the first place," the cyborg said to Kei as he started to jog over to the third wagon in the line, ready to strike down any monster that might be in there.

The battlefield, a sight of dread for an ordinary person and a reality for warriors. The place where those had laid down their lives and fought their last battle. A place of loss where fellow soldiers lose their brothers.
A paradise for Ribeiro. For the first time since the mission had started her expression brightened. She couldn't help but let a faint curve of a smile show on her face as she looked at the blood on the battlefield. Blinding herself to the final moments of death on the faces of the deceased her joy overlapped her sadness for the deceased, she would always at least show respect for the dead, but there was still something she wanted.
"I'll umm...look over here" she called out to Savas. Pretending to look for survivors, Ribeiro knelt down upon the corpse of a particularly bloody horse. What color do you have? she wondered as she tore off a piece of paper from her notebook and touched the paper to the blood. Bright...

"......" Kei stared silently at Acero's moving figure, wordlessly thanking his partner for managing to get his hint, but at the same time apologising for his treatment of him. Acero deserved better far than him, or this. Despite what he said previously, the threat of Grimm was still constantly looming over the team, and so he decided to not stray as far from Acero as he would have. What on Remnant is Ribeiro doing now... he mused at the sight of her soaking up blood with...paper? Doing DNA tests? Mentally shrugging, he leant on one of the broken wheels, silent as a statue in a graveyard.
