Only gripping a Pokeball in his hand, Lambert feels distinctly underequipped. A snarling from the shadows as other forms filter in, prowling along the edges, some going from standing to all fours with fluid, monstrous grace, others obviously riders on mounts... but all unwilling to approach the griffin and its attackers. Weaker predators waiting for scraps.
Which tells Lambert just about all he needs to know about the danger they're in, really.
Despite all common sense, though, Hanamaru's rushing forward again. This time, the griffin won't be caught -- it launches itself off the ground and something changes about the air around them. Lambert's eyes widen and he hurls himself forward at Hanamaru, throwing up a shield just in time for blades of wind to descend. It doesn't take long for the shield to shatter under the force, but it's enough time for Lambert to grab the girl around her good shoulder and spin them around so he's shielding her with his body, too, though he unfortunately can't do it without jostling her broken arm.
The rest of the the wind that wasn't dispersed by the shield slams into Lambert's back and he snarls as it flays the flesh of his back, but he won't let go of Hanamaru as he snaps into his ear.
"We need to hunt with them." There's no time to explain the how and why, but if getting out of here alive is the goal ... it's the only option they have the time for. "That's the only way they'll stop attacking."
