[Jaune glances to his left to confirm, taking a swing at one. He wasn't sure how much more moving he could do though. This was WAY more running than what either he or John were used to doing. But it's run or die, right? That's a pretty good motivator.
A shadow falls to his blade and he goes to try using another light attack, but he's distracted by his name and the command.]
Huh?
[Haruka gives him a look and Jaune immediately feels worried. What is he about to---okay, yeah, he should probably be jumping. Jaune jumps just as Frei is unleashed and OH SHIT was that a good call. He gets a lot more air than he would have thought possible in his jump. However, he's more fascinated by the attack Haruka just executed. Seriously, how are they doing all of this? Why were they given these personas to fight these Shadows?
Jaune manages to land in the trees behind the pack, though it's hardly a pretty landing. He catches a branch, scrambling not to fall, and then pulls himself up. Phew! He has to practically hug the tree to keep from falling at first, but at least no one had to chuck a spear at him to catch his fall.
Perhaps he HAS come a long way from his first days at Beacon, at least he's worked on his landing strategy somewhat. Still, he shifts his weight and glances over at Haruka. Even from here he can tell he's pushing himself way too much. Surely there's something Jaune can do to support him. Eligor appears below his tree, tilting her head back, yet somehow her voice is in his ear, giving more guidance. Jaune reaches a hand out towards Haruka, using his other hand for balance.]
Dia.
[Jaune took a breath. He was pushing himself too, wasn't he? He relaxes a bit as he lowers his hand...and then realizes that in going to catch himself in the tree his sword and shield had fallen. The sword had impaled itself in the grass and his shield, thankfully, was at least caught in some of the branches below his feet.]
Oh come on!
[So much for Jaune's luck...although maybe someone should remind him he still had a rifle at his back or his other abilities...]
