[ Not entirely wise, no, but Ladybug never once considered teaming up with anyone else. It wasn't until she spoke to a guy a little earlier that the thought of joining up with the Perimeter Guard - at least in part - to be an option. For the most part she was holding her own, something in her hand spinning quickly enough to protect her from the projectile ..grunk that they kept spitting out at her.

She didn't know what to call it, beyond gross. Also not good, since the Koruk got hit with that once and it couldn't run away now. Still spinning her 'shield' in front of her, she skirted a quick glance up at the masked stranger, and then back to the east with a nod. ]

Sure, a little help would be lovely, join the party~! But watch out for that stuff they spit - it seems to be some kind of paralytic venom.
