Whitney snapped her fingers, and a soft shield appeared at the back of Simon, doubling his protection. It broke and dispersed into thin air after he made contact with the tree, but it was able to lessen the impact of the hit. After seeing that he was completely fine, she brought her attention back to the enemy, "I'm over here teddy!" The blue-haired lad called out. Whitney giggled lightly before rushing in towards it, 
"It certainly does look like a giant teddy bear~"

When the creature turned it's back towards Blaire and Whitney, the bullets managed to hit its back which wasn't protected by a hard shell; causing it to fall down on all fours. She ran towards the beast and leaped into the air, "First to get the kill, gets the bacon~" As she landed, her swords pierced through the creature, and it let out a sharp cry. "And since you are my partner, and I wanted to give you a warm welcome, you get to kill it~" She grinned. Her swords nailed the Ursa's leg to the ground, injuring it badly and constricting it of its movements. Now she waited for her partner to go in for the kill. 

[i]Hmm.. is this a good enough welcome? Yes? No? I wonder.. Wait, maybe she's really nice and she doesn't wanna kill it? So... maybe I forced her to kill it. Gahh, what do I do..[/i] She sobbed mentally.
