Airi took cover in the tree line. Catching her breath, she looked across the arena to see what Aurelia was doing. Her opponent seemed to be concentrating on something with her aura, though what exactly, she could not tell. If she had to guess, Aurelia was summoning her semblance. "Perhaps she needs time to summon her semblance mount," she thought to herself. Running to the tree line definitely would not have been the ideal course of action, if that was the case, but Airi didn't have much time to dwell in that now. Airi looked around and found several relatively straight tree branches. Cutting them off the tree and hastily trimming off the sub-branches of one, she dropped down to the forest floor. With the trimmed branch in her right hand, gripped by Fateweaver, she took a javelin toss stance and launched the branch at her opponent, hoping to interrupt whatever it was she was doing. Kinetic dust from Fateweaver allowed Airi to boost the power of her throws, ensuring that the straight branches would make it across the arena towards Aurelia and that the impact of being hit with one would be quite painful...for a stick.
Airi decided that while she could, perhaps she should reverse her previous course of action and try to engage in close combat while her opponent was still dismounted. Reabsorbing her 3-second time remnant and then grabbing the several branches she picked, including one that was spear-like in length, Airi activated her semblance and returned to her 10-second time remnant, now 7 seconds behind her. With that, she was no longer was in the tree line, and was instead about 40% of the way to Aurelia, just in time to watch the tree branch from her toss fly past her own head and towards her opponent. From here, Airi threw another branch, against boosted with dust from Fateweaver. However, being much closer, perhaps within the range of javelin weapons used in the old days, meant that this second throw was going to hit much quicker and much more painfully.
With that, Airi, still clutching the remaining branches, created four time remnants, set at 2 seconds, 4 seconds, 7 seconds, and 10 seconds, and ran at Aurelia. However, she was zigzagging a little bit so that she wouldn't be running in a straight line - an easy target for any retaliatory fire from her opponent. Airi knew that tactically, she needed to engage Aurelia before the summoning she could summon her semblance mount, but admittedly, a part of Airi wanted to see the mount and test her own capabilities against it.
