"Faunus... huh..." Mei fell silent for a bit, recalling how Faunus discrimination was well and alive in the moment. As much as she wanted to comfort Rielle and try and convince her not to pay any mind, she knew she had no right to claim she understood how she felt. When Rielle stated she didn't know much about the direction they were headed in, Mei was about to suggest that she fly up and scout the area, but that was rendered meaningless by the good news of finding something that looked like ruines - and the not-so-good news of three ursas. "...let's circle around." Mei suggested. "I don't know how many arrows you have, but we should try and conserve as much ammunition and resources as possible." she suggested.

"Right then, lets go this way." Rielle suggested and lead Mei to the left as she carefully watched the movements of the Ursa who seemed to be moving in the opposite direction. That was a relif. After a few minutes, she finally relaxed and then they began moving straight towards the ruins. The silence that followed was really border lining on awkward so Rielle decided to make small talk. Turning to face Mei, she smiled at the girl as she started walking backwards. "Soooo, partner! I was wondering why you decided to [i]not[/i] have a weapon and just use your fists when fighting? Dont get me wrong, its waaay cool but you- eep!" her sentence was cut off by Rielle tripping over a raised root and falling on her butt.

"Aww really!?" she said as she struggled to stand up, getting mud on her hands. When she got to her feet she shook her hands clean then crossed her arms. "I totally meant to do th- thaaaaaat!" upon turning around and walking forwards, her boot slipped on some mud, to which she slipped forward and went sliding down a steep hill while screaming for Mei to save her. Landing at the bottom on her bum, she winced and stood up again on shaky legs. Looking around as if making sure no one saw her, she sighed and mumbled with crossed arms, "Today is going to be a very. Long. Day."
