[Up above is, for whatever reason, not what Armin was expecting; luckily, a battle he's used to fighting, but not so much on bird-sized targets with wings.

[He makes a quick decision. It happens in a flash - one moment, he's on the ground, and the next moment, he's not; a winged demon is crashes against the forest floor in two pieces. It's done with the use of his maneuvering gear - a grappling hook fired into a tree, and a motor, propelling Armin to follow its path, blades still poised.

[Armin lands in a crouch beside Kaito, then jumps up again. He grabs his companion by the sleeve and yanks him along.] Keep going!

[An afterthought, called out over his shoulder:] And good work. Keep it up.

[He sets his eyes forward and keeps running. There are too many eyes on them now to worry about keeping quiet.] I can't say that I'm used to enemies that fly, but I am used to fighting high up. Keep your eyes above you when you can.

[Hopefully, that's the last of them - it was a risky move to begin with, and he needs to conserve his fuel; still, he'll do whatever he has to.]
