[♪] Nanami watched as the rush of events unfolded before her, starting with the thundering of Yui's gun, to seeing all the warriors rush, ending with an interruption by the appearance of a giant of a man swinging his axe wildly. There was something to be said about the flow of battle, the thoom of war drums in the background as blades clashed and lives were ended and it was enough to give Nanami pause. She wasn't scared mind you, but acutely aware and it felt like the battle field was unfolding slowly before her eyes as the steady beat whispered in her ears.

There were only four warriors left and a single archer, whom were all distracted by the giant, though the archer would soon be taken care of she was sure, with the aid of Pox and his smoke cover. Instead, it was time to focus on the warriors at hand and Nanami felt it best to do what only she could do - she took off and darted around the field until she could clearly see the last of the snake men warriors, who mostly had their attention on Hafrbjǫrn. First she spun, catching most of the front liners in her song, which radiated a soothing and calming song contrasting the heat of battle. She wasn't absolutely sure that no one had gotten hurt, so this would heal their minor wounds or at least keep them from bleeding out before Pox and Gwen could give them proper treatment.

Then without hesitation, she weaved her blade like a writer would with a quill, pointing it to the remaining warriors, catching at least two of them in the sharp, harsh tones of her songs. Though it wasn't enough to make them panic or retreat on their own, only they could hear the hissing dark tones, causing them to falter in their strikes. One of them shook it's head, looking right at Nanami and hissing in anger, but it wouldn't matter because one of the other warriors would probably deal with him before he had time to exact his revenge for her interference.

@Athol - Yes! This a quote from my character sheet - so it's more of a tune than a full song.

𝄞 Quickening Strike: Weaving the blade in a quick motion, the Songblade can speed their attacks up for a short amount of time or boon another ally with the same quickness. (Quick, catchy notes)

[♪] Hearing her name, she gracefully stepped around the bodies before making her way to her father, listening to him as she felt his hand on her head. A more stubborn daughter may have huffed and felt Jing was condensing, but Nanami knew it was only out of love that the man felt so protective over her, feeling him pull her into a hug. She had never been super close to her family, even her father, but ever since she joined there seemed to be more of a connection between the two that she appreciated. She was just thankful she did not disclose all the details of her trip to acquire her songs - Jing would probably have not let her come along if he knew, but she was stronger willed than he was willing to admit.

Still, she returned the hug happily and squeezed before letting go and smiling at her father. "Try not to worry father... I think my songs will be of more use than anyone realizes yet. I'll be careful though, I promise." She nodded. She quietly wished she had learned the one to dispel poison, but how often did that really come up? She had so much more to learn anyways. Giving Jing a pat on the shoulder, she went about preparing the dead to be moved, since she couldn't move them herself. Before long though, she heard yells and watched as everyone scrambled. 'Action indeed.'

Nanami quietly pulled to the middle of the group, recognizing her mixed roles, being able to fight but also support - this way she could give much needed back up to the main fighters of the group, glancing over to Yui for a minute in thought. 'Fitting that she is singing a quiet tune.' No one had truly seen what Nanami was able to do just yet, even Jing had only seen a examples of it, but she only knew of the bard that was able to weave song into magical auras and even they were rare. Point being, she decided to keep quiet and just her thing - probably best to speed Yui's shots (@Athol), so she could at least get one more in, but she'd need to weave her blade right before the battle began.

@Arthanus - Well, definitely think I'll post tomorrow. Probably the morning, if not, then the afternoon. ^-^

Bloodrose Irregulars - After The Fall (Dark Fantasy Adventure) -=Remake=-

Sorry if I'm slow to post. I'll do it tonight or tomorrow probably, but I'm sickies. =(

[♪] The day started off as expected, desert winds gently blowing against them all as the heat bared down on the group, though sooner than Nanami expected they had come across a tomb of sorts that instantly sparked the woman's interest. She knew she had a job to do though and followed the tactics her father gave to her without hesitation, her mind locking into a mindset meant for battle. At first, Nanami was a tad too focused on possible attacks to really drink in the scene before them, but it slowly melted away as Jing realized there was no danger. It was then that Nanami really got a whiff of the blood and coughed softly as she tightened her scarf around her mouth, trying her best to guard against the stench.

Of course people never reacted kindly to scenes like this and only particular mindsets and personalities were dispositioned to take it in stride, but Nanami felt she was more of the middle-ground. While she didn't crawl away and gag at the sight, neither was she completely ignorant of what it was - especially since she could hear the subtle, sad song of life passing away still clinging to their bodies. She wasn't sure she'd ever get used to that. Her father barked out orders to search for clues though while some of the others stood watch before everyone scrambled to do their assigned tasks. For a moment or two, Nanami just stood, scanning the scene as she had a special talent for noticing small details often overlooked.

Before long however, there was something that seemed out of place among the limbs, the blood, and the dead - a parchment, or rather a string of parchments woven into a book of sorts. Carefully stepping over splotches of blood and body parts, she bend over and picked it up, waving it in the air a little, though most of the blood had dried by now and was mostly only clinging to the outside. 'What have we here?' she thought to herself as she flipped through the pages, reading carefully. After several moments, her eyes seemed to dart up ahead and then back to the book a few times, only followed by the sudden snap of it closing.

Nanami removed her scarf, letting out a sharp cough and small gag to the smell before clearing her throat. "There's also a journal here," she announced, tucking it under her arm for now as she tried her best to examine any details of the tomb. "It's about two days old... but it seems Sir Frances Darkwing was trying to solve a puzzle of some sort - driving the men to run their supplies low. Something written about being watched, which is probably whoever.. or whatever attacked them." She shifted, stepping over the bodies as she walked towards the entrance going deeper. She seemed to ponder for several moments. "I just wonder what it was that they were after... but I have a suspicion that Sir Frances Darkwing may still be alive, or at least made it deeper in..."

She gave her father a glance and pursed her lips. She trusted her father that he knew what he was doing, but what horrors waited them inside? Nanami had her own experiences with old world ruins and it wasn't the most pleasant thing - something she had not fully revealed to her own father, mostly because of his overprotective nature, but they could certainly house very dangerous things in them. And powerful things. She could only imagine if something like that was here and got into the wrong hands. The thought made her shiver.

@Arthanus Sorry, forewarning - I was busy today and have errands tomorrow so I won't get a post until tomorrow evening. Not much I can do about it.

Bloodrose Irregulars - After The Fall (Dark Fantasy Adventure) -=Remake=-

@Arthanus - I went to a Easter social today and my girlfriend is over for the next three days! So it's going great! ^-^

Bloodrose Irregulars - After The Fall (Dark Fantasy Adventure) -=Remake=-

@Arthanus - I'm for moving on, more or less because Nanami isn't really interacting with anyone ATM.
