[He had promised, hadn't he? And since their arrival in this place... Had it been mere months? Masamune had not broken a promise to her yet. It was a reminder she needed, and one that made her curl her fingers into determined fists in the rubble beneath her, managing to get off all fours and at least sit back on her haunches in her gown now dusty and torn, hair half fallen from the style she'd left the flat wearing.
She did as she was told- bolstering her shields' ability with the regained confidence Masamune and the sight of him, prepared, ready, gave to her, trying to steady her breathing even as she looked up at the rampaging chimera bearing down on them. The legends didn't do it justice, and in the space of those moments she's torn, looking between her guardian, utterly still, like a coiled reptile just waiting to strike at the right moment, and the lumbering beast, it's roar, the beat of wings, the snap of tail-
It happens so fast she can barely follow it, Masamune becoming a blur, the targeted attack on a weak area, that vulnerable place where neck met skull, and the crash that shook the ground, spit up rocks and debris that deflected off the shield she managed to maintain, wincing slightly but holding. Until he came back, wiping his face, and she dropped the shield to try and stand. Try, because though she had the will, she collapsed back into the rubble at first, knees shaking too badly to support her. She'd try again.]
You took down that beast so easily-
[The weapon in his hand that wasn't his usual "kahtana"... That was the one the chimera was weak to. As the legends said- he didn't seem to be moving as if favoring a side, but at the sight of the blood she can't help but ask, a healers instincts.]
