Weiss walked as slowly as she could possibly dare, cursing the soft crunching sound that followed her every footstep. She had no idea what exactly had happened here, but she was noticing fallen weaponry sticking out of the snow and ice - and occasionally, an arm or leg.
She thought she'd left the graveyards behind in the pale moors.
Weiss shook her head. Now wasn't exactly the time for thoughts like that. She needed to find out if there was any survivors in this frozen tomb, whether they were friends or foes. taking a deep breath, she moved quietly, trying not to give away her position as she searched for any signs of life. The idea of being taken by surprise by an assailant hidden in the snow didn't exactly appeal to her, and one hand hovered over the hilt of her rapier. For a while, though, her walk found her meeting only wreckage, discarded weapons or other items, or the occasional unconscious (she hoped) darkling. the symbol of nebula was all too common here, and Weiss didn't exactly like her chances if she'd come here before the avalanche had struck. Perhaps this was caused by one of the other people she was told were also assisting Dr. Regal?
The soft, deliberate footprint Weiss heard crunch into the snow and ice from behind her froze her in place, and as Weiss turned around and saw just who had made the footstep.
It was like someone had taken a block of ice, and carved a statue out of clockwork out of it. Except clockwork didn't glare at her with unrestrained suspicion or shift into a fighting stance even some of beacon's teachers would be envious of. Weiss wasn't sure if what she was looking at was some sort of golem, or a living creature. Still, after looking it in it's cold eyes for a second, while she couldn't see anything resembling a human pupil, she was certain by the way he looked her up and down that there was a glimmer of life in him. Being raised around cybernetic bodyguards all her life, she knew the difference between the fluid swiveling of a simple automaton, and the jerking movements of a human being. Though - maybe "human" would be the wrong term here.
"Identify yourself." The being demanded.
Weiss watched her potential opponent. His stance was solid - whether it was something programmed or trained, she knew that whatever this person was, they knew how to use their weapons. The real question was, could she trust him? Weiss's hand danced around her Rapier's hilt for a split second, the being watching the action with interest.
Finally, Weiss decided that there was no harm in introducing herself. It's not like the Schnee name gave people anything to threaten her with in a completely different world.
"Weiss Schnee. I'm a h-" Weiss started to say, but the words caught in her throat.
I'm a huntress
it was supposed to be easy to say. It was something she'd said many times before. It was the best way to describe who she was, what she was.
Or at least, it was.
Weiss's eyes half-closed as she sighed. "I'm here to assist Dr. Regal."
The being seemed to straighten a little as he heard that, suddenly taking interest in her wrist.
"One of Regal's assistants gave you that device." The mechanical titan stated bluntly. "I am Kopaka, Toa of Ice. It appears we share a common goal."
She thought she'd left the graveyards behind in the pale moors.
