At least he knew that she turned around when she was called. The jolly girl had an 'o' around her mouth and seemed to be thrilled to have seen another human being cluttered underneath a forest filled with Grimm. He won't lie, Blaire was right. She strutted herself along towards Blaire and Simon, happily introducing herself as she arrived close. 

"Hi hi~ My name is Whitney Langston, a.k.a your new bestfriend! But I will consider you-in-white-dress because that's what friends are for~" Best friends? Already? What? Simon looked confused yet happy at the same time to have someone being so optimistic about being friends with him. Or perhaps it was Blaire that she was talking about? He's the one who called her the 'you-in-white-dress' after all. Simon scratched his head.

"H-Hey Whitney!" He said dryly, still trying to string himself together. He looked at Blaire who seemed to be fine with the girl's beaming spirits. Simon looked back at Whitney.

"Oh~ So you like the color black, huh?" Simon was slightly surprised at that. His eyes quickly observed the way Blaire was dressed and then Whitney. Huh. What do you know, opposites! Their hair was identically white as well. Simon who was mostly quiet watched the two's exchange.

"That seems to be the case. And my name is Blaire." She added. Oh yeah! Simon forgot to tell Whitney his name.

"My name's Simon." He said. Whitney seemed to have lost her happiness all of a sudden as she frowned. Blaire who was there immediately asked if something was wrong with Whitney. But what she said also threw Simon into a thought.

[i]"What's my girl doing anyway?[/i] Despite all of the crashing of trees and the smell of burnt wood-- He continued to wonder. [i]"In a forest filled with Grimm monsters like that... Is she alright? Has she found a partner? What if she hasn't?[/i] He snapped out of his thoughts looking at something all of a sudden swooping from the sky that covered the sun for a moment and disappearing immediately. It was too quick for Simon to look again. Either that or he was blinking.

(The Nevermore incoming to Rielle)

He heard the roar of a beast in the distance, seemingly coming from another direction as the trees restlessly shook. Seeing somebody with blue-hair approaching with a bear chasing it from behind, Simon started running towards the girl. "Heearrrgh!" He leapt forward and whacked the oncoming Ursa's head with a cleave of his Mechanical Blade, causing a loud clank! That stunned the Grimm monster for a moment as it pulled itself back. "You okay?" He asked the blue-haired girl. "Blaire! Whitney!" He shouted to the other two behind.
