... ::Running in place right behind her::

[phoenix_soldier]

::Maria pauses, carefully bringin her hand to rest on the gun before looking behind her. She jumps, turning and moving away from the dancing... cactus.. thing.::

[express_npcs]

::Still running there, switching the positions of its arms continuously, looking up at Maria almost innocently::

[phoenix_soldier]

::Maria tilts her head a bit, wondering what this thing is. Some kind of Chimera? No.. That was unlikely due to the fact that she'd left her country. But it didn't seem to mean any harm.::

[express_npcs]

::Stops moving abruptly::

[phoenix_soldier]

::Maria takes a step back.::

Y-You okay little cactus thing?

[express_npcs]

::Jumps into the air, aiming its tiny arms down in her direction::

[phoenix_soldier]

::Maria blinked widely, quickly pulling her gun and firing a shot at the cactus. Why had it suddenly attacked her?! She hadn't done anything to it!::

[express_npcs]

::Shoots literally one thousand needles at her in defense::

[phoenix_soldier]

::Maria ran to one side and fired another shot.::

Stop attacking me!

[express_npcs]

::Lands on the ground, but is scared of being shot at. So, it naturally runs away::

[phoenix_soldier]

::Maria sighed and scratched the back of her head.::

. . .Well that was certainly weird.
