[PQ] Into the Ruins

remi This was exactly why some mild preparation was necessary. Nearly colliding with Ronin, the alchemist deftly dodged backwards as the mist-bear slowly came to life. Inhaling sharply, Remi found himself fitting his body against the wall trying to eliminate himself as a potential target while simultaneously trying to figure out just what the creature before him was and what the best strategy of defending himself against it might be. At first he thought the beast might be incorporeal given that it looked entirely gaseous, but as it snatched the shovel away from Enigma and clawed into the man's arm, that idea was promptly given up on. Swallowing, Remi could feel his fingers begin to feather as his hawk-instincts began to bubble to the surface. He could easily flee from here given that he was already mostly in the back. Indeed, with no weapons at his disposal (not that he was particularly good with them anyway), what could he do in this fight? "Ronin ?" The alchemist whispered under his breath, inviting the captain to take the lead, despite the fact that Enigma was also trying to do just that. Having charged them down here with no preparation or information straight into what seemed like an ambush had diluted any trust Remi might have placed into him.
