"I haven't managed to see anyone else around, so it seems we [i]are[/i] partners indeed," Gram grinned as he pulled free his two bone spikes from the tree they had lodged themselves into. His new partner, Jie, seemed to be a compentent enough combatant. Unfortunately Gram didn't get enough glimpses to see exactly how she had fought. All he knew was that she had some kind of firearm integrated into her weapon. But then again, who, other than himself obviously, didn't have some kind of gun or ranged-variation to their weapon?

Suddenly, a howl. And then his partner jogged off, leaving him all alone.

Gram glanced around the surrounding area before shrugging and jogging after Jie.

Everything seemed to be going off without a hitch for Isaac, he and Atlanta were making good time towards whatever it was that he had seen, they had yet to run into trouble. As it turned out, whatever the object was, wasn't as far off as he'd originally thought, in fact, it almost appeared to be- Isaac skidded to a stop. "WAIT!" He shouted to Atlanta, '' he thought. It was then that Isaac noticed something; silence, dead silence, not a single bird sang or flitted through the trees, even the insects had gone quiet. Isaac's head snapped around as he tried to spot any immediate threat, then, his original concern was confirmed as the object ahead moved again, this time in the direction of him and Atlanta, moving in a rapid undulating motion.

The duo was cruising through the forest quickly, making great time. Everything was going so smoothly. Of course, that meant that something should be going wrong [i]pretty[/i] soon, if media had taught Atalanta anything. As if on cue, Isaac cried out, telling her to stop. Atalanta swung her arms behind her and fired off grapnels into the tree branch she had just passed, pulling her back. She shaved off momentum with a little flip in the air, wrapping her grapnel linees around the branch before retracting them back into her gauntlets.

"Good news or bad news?" Atalanta asked Isaac from her seating up on the tree.
