Wide-eyed Sera glared at the bird protecting her. It was so beautiful, so... fiery, as if it was made out of pure fire. It looked back at her and seemed to smile as it absorbed even more pebbles. [color=ed145b]"Tomo..."[/color], Sera whispered as she watched the pretty phoenix swirl around and land on her shoulder again when no more pebbles were incoming as the bird-creature flew away to make another "bombing run".

Smiling back at the phoenix she had just named Tomo, Sera scratched under Tomo's skin and she nuzzled Sera's hand.
But that small, serene moment was not for long as the cry of the bone bird came closer once more threatening to hurl at them even more deadly projectiles. Sera's face grew fierce and hard again when she tried to analyze the difficult situation at hand
[color=ed145b]"Alrighty, Tomo, guy..., let's get this bitch back to level ground, shall we? What that thing can do, we can do better, no?"[/color] She grinned and picked up a stone. [color=ed145b]"Tomo, can you mimic a catapult?"[/color] The phoenix caw'd to acknowledge Sera's question and she positioned herself to recieve said stones and hurl them at the bone fiend with her tail feathers.
With a swift motion a smallish stone left Sera's hand and with this initial inertia already moving the stone forward, Tomo only had to whck it hard enough to pepper the creature with incoming stony ammo. [color=ed145b]"Take that! And that! And this!"[/color]
