Battle frenzy never suited Reis and while her beloved proudly served as Captain of the Gryphon Knights, and a skilled warrior at that, she had no taste for it, even though she bore the form of her ancestry. Distracted by her need to spot Beowulf in the violent chaos, she made herself easy prey to the surrounding monsters. The blessed relief she felt as magical healing washed over her had no time for a show of gratitude, for just as she turned to do so, Ramza fell to the ground. They fought to defend her and she in turn would give her all to protect them.
Yet her previous hesitation and retreat placed her too far from the others to be of direct aid to them. And little chance to alter her position presented itself, as a Zombie Whale floated up before her. With no opportunity to dig in to a defensive position, the creature lashed out, using it's mighty tail to knock her off the outcropping and crashing to the ground. A blessing and a curse, for the fall addled her mind for some long seconds. Still once she came to herself, the realization she was mere feet away from her friend came to the forefront of her thinking.
Sacrificing some of her own vitality, she drew from the strength of her bloodline to heal Ramza's wounds. Her Gift served to melt away the frost coating his armor as well. Assured that he could resume fighting in full health, she lashed out with her claws, slashing at the Octopus threatening them both.
