curiosity bests all other emotions as a new island makes an appearance above their current islands of residence. the floating island isn’t what catches her attention, though ─ her own birthplace was as such. if it weren’t for the burning desire to learn as much as she can about this universe, perhaps weiss wouldn’t have bothered with the trek to the new island. but she’s not sure how long she’ll be stuck in this world and, thus, knows she must learn everything she can about it. besides, she has to admit, the idea of finding a treasure... is fascinating.
while she wasn’t sure what to expect overall ─ but hostiles were not something on the list of things she expected. thankfully, she’s had no trouble incapacitating them without resorting to extremes. even without the usage of her gravity glyphs, weiss hasn’t run into trouble while exploring the new land. however, the same couldn’t be said for everyone else. she’s alerted by noise of a scuffle nearby and immediately finds the source ; a soldier, quite reminiscent of those in atlas, cornering a girl who doesn’t appear threatening at all.
weiss immediately takes action.
she wastes no time in summoning a boarbutusk. the creature manifests in a striking, icy hue. it takes little time to charge up, scuffing the ground with it’s hooves before jumping and coiling into itself, rolling forward, straight for the hostile soldier. the collision happens in seconds, sending the soldier into the nearest wall with a harsh THUNK. unconscious, weiss hopes. as the boar vanishes in a glittery cloud, weiss runs and takes the girl’s hand with a swift ‘excuse me!’, praying she takes no offense to the action.
“are you okay?” weiss asks once they’ve put some distance between themselves and the soldier, “sorry for grabbing you like that, but i figured we shouldn’t be there when he woke up.” weiss offers a gentle smile, “he didn’t hurt you, did he?”
