"I heard your voice and didn't have time to go fetch him." Alonare snapped. She turned heel and motioned to Phoenix to follow "We'll go find him, get your friend mobile. Fortune favors the fleet footed." And with that took off.
She didn't jog long though. In an effort to keep her aura hidden she avoided silencing her footfalls, a serious mistake as she'd soon find out. Her prediction of Grimm being attracted came true as an Ursa barreled around a corner, its gaze drawn by the sound of movement, and charged in their direction. Alonare knew she didn't have time to draw her bow and line up a shot, so she seemingly snapped her bow in half and locked the limbs into a pair of swords. She hated fighting hand-to-hand, but she hated not being able to at all more.
Having never fought with allies, she didn't think to call it out, merely dashing forward and instinctively dampening the sounds around her. She rushed the creature head-on for a few moments before using a small upright piece of stone stuck in the ground to alter her course at the last moment, using her swords to deflect a swipe from the Grimm. The Faunus landed for half a second on a wall she aimed herself for, using it to launch off and dash again before the Ursa had time to strike again, rolling across its back and leaving a heavy gash across it as she went.
She was avoiding it well enough, but it was obvious she wasn't doing enough damage to end the fight anytime soon...

"Hunters."
Came the single word before Alonare stepped out of her cover, bow lowered and held undrawn. The two syllables were clearly said in contempt, but she moved on quickly "Your two teammates are over here." The Faunus turned and started off at a jog, seeming not to care if the pair followed or not. Regardless, she'd lead them to where Soleil was left laying, and waited for them to follow.
"Pitiful city. This is what Vale has to offer?" The trio of huntresses wandered past an alley where Alonare was crouched. She didn't move, didn't respond. Her task was not to silence a few upstarts, but to stop a worm from revealing her Master's identity. She was just waiting in that particular alley for him to pass by....it didn't stop her from hating the three girls and their harsh words. She may have been enslaved here, but many people in this city helped each other. The old man even gave her food on occasion.
"Ash took off looking for you in that direction. We need to leave before Grimm get here." she explained curtly as she looked around, trying to stay aware of any other unexpected visitors.

"Identify yourself first! For all I know you're here to steal from a military aircraft!" Came the reply from behind the rubble. There weren't very many options of retreat without being seen, but Alonare had a small knack for improvisation. She allowed them to hear her scuffle around, but the moment she stopped, she used her aura to mask the tightening of her bowstring as she prepped an arrow. She had heard a second voice, and didn't know how many others were with this Nyte. Ash had not said....
Who's more trusting? Surely he heard her yell his name? Or did he intentionally avoid asking because they both might be thinking the other knew he wasn't this Nyte? An awkward standoff to say the least.

"Ash! AAAAASH!"
Alonare drew her bow towards the yelling, not taking any chances of being at a disadvantage in a standoff. She glanced around from where the yelling was originating, and managed to catch sight of movement around a broken wing. She slid off her perch and dashed across the short exposed area that was cleared just behind the ship, taking cover behind a piece of ship that left her at a 90 degree angle from where she found Ash and the voice before calling out "Nyte!"
The idea in her head was that if the man yelling was indeed Nyte, she'd be able to lead him towards his companions. But if it wasn't, she wouldn't draw him closer to weakened allies.
Holding another slave in her arms, his gut bleeding from a bullet wound, she looked up with teary eyes at those that she thought were there to save them....but they were only there to kill stock of competitors, they said...

Alonare's ear twitched as she pulled her bow out again, glancing around as she asked "Your team? Rescue or hunters?" her tone was even, neither hopeful or disdainful. She gave him a few seconds to answer before the sound of the city returned, and Alonare hopped up nimbly to a perch made of vertical airship and part of the building that it had landed on, crouching like a predator poised to strike. The Faunus gave the surrounding area a slow gaze in all directions, not yet seeing any Grimm in the area. Either everyone was dead, or still disoriented and not yet embracing their emotions.
Perched on a ledge overlooking a square, arrow notched and bowstring pulled back, feminine hands were tensed in that position, her aim directed at a man in a suit addressing a small group of humans and very few Faunus. He himself wasn't a Faunus from outward appearances. He finished whatever speech he was making and headed off behind stage where a car was waiting for him....and then the bowstring twanged mutely and the arrow flew. The accuracy was dead on, burying into his throat just as he sat down in the backseat, shattering the passenger window in the process...

"Was fine till an airship wanted to land on my head. Haven't found anyone else besides you. She the only one you care about? I don't want to stick around for the crying to start."
Alonare replied in a quick, rapid-fire way to save time. Now was hardly a time for politeness or thought out sentences, and her seemingly off-handed mention of crying was obvious: Gotta move before the Grimm are attracted to the survivors who couldn't compartmentalize.
But the Faunus wasn't completely unfeeling. She hooked her bow onto her back and quickly offered her assistance in helping Ash to his feet, adding "I'm Alonare."

Sorry about the delayed response, bleh day >.<
Alonare's ears perked at a dull thumping across the distance unlike the din of the crashsite, and she quickly picked her way across towards it, Keeping herself aware of any other potential sounds. It was unlike her to really care about others, but something made her push forward to find and save people in light of what happened this night.
The Faunus climbed over what used to be the cockpit, looking down and finally spotting the source of the thumping: A boy that didn't even have chin stubble yet. She slid down a hull chunk and landed silently beside him, her aura lighting up for a moment before it dissipated. "Can you move anything else? And is the girl beside you dead?" She asked, but she didn't keep her gaze on him, instead looking around with her bow at the ready. The whipping of her head around shook her hair, revealing her neck often enough as she waited for a response.
