When the lion finally turned away from Maebe, Dawson lured it away step by step, making all manner of noises to convince it that he was a better target. It unfortunately led to some wrestling he didn't plan on, but at least Syn was able to gnaw away at its energy.

Other times, unfortunately, he could barely keep his weapon steady against its attempts to tear it away. Claws tore into his shield, and Dawson became glad he wasn't wearing a shirt for it to ruin.

At some point something clicked into he fight: the statue lunged too far in, and he found himself a similar opportunity that Maebe had. Without thinking, Dawson launched himself onto the lion's back, pretended it was a bucking horse, and then started to chip at its neck with the pointed end of his shield.

He really liked axing the hell out of that lion's head. No wonder Maebe looked like she had a good time stabbing it. "I took it last time, Mayb, you want this one?" he asked as he clutched at an ear and squeezed his thighs to avoid getting thrown off as the lion yowled.

She responded wordlessly, driving her trident into the lion with an exhausted heave. Her expression bore the marks of gratefulness when she looked up at Dawson, holding on for dear life after taking the lion down a notch or two.
Because she was getting tired. Real tired.

Her trident clattered to the ground, having been whacked uselessly away after a failed attempt to attack. She followed soon after, taking a knee as the battle begin to wear down on her strength.

Was there one lion, or were there two? Maebe's vision had begun to blur, and her swipes continued to be weak even though she kept pushing herself up onto her feet to come back.
"Had enough? She yelled up at the lion, digging the trident prong tips into its foot. She would have asked if it was thirsty for more, but it slapped her back to the ground before she could finish her taunt.

But she wasn't the only one getting tired. The lion was on one knee, still angrily trying to paw Dawson away and occasionally swiping Maebe onto the ground. She rallied at the sight of its weakness, and returned from yet another b***h slap to jam her trident right up into its jaw. It couldn't roar in protest; she had effectively silenced it. It was only fair, then, that it do the same. The lion's paw came down hard on Maebe, pinning her down under it. She tried her best to pull away, but with every press of its weight, she felt her strength leaving her. She stilled, and closed her eyes. "Sorry, sweetheart." She muttered begrudgingly up at the man still grappling with the statue. "Did my best. Need a nap." She couldn't breathe. It was right on her lungs, and she went silent, to conserve her breath with the shallow gasps she could choke down. Damage: 4 Boss HP: 3 Maebe HP: 5 Stamina: 19

He struggled to stay on and copped away at it as fast as his heavy weapon would let him. His arms burned, but they seemed inconsequential compared to the terror that was hearing Maebe say sorry, sweetheart. It reminded him of Thomas going down in a group of laughing skeletons and half made foggy abominations, helpless under the shield he didn't want to lift, it was your job to watch him, fatass.Panic seized him, and without thinking he jammed his weapon into one of the cracks he had created and jammed it again and again, and when the lion lifted its head to howl, he grabbed it by its mane and ears and helped tug it up, helped the fractures spread faster and deeper until with a sharp crack the lion lost its head. Its body collapsed and fell to the side immediately afterward, breaking into fragments under him. Dawson felt the cuts on his shield as he shifted them away from Maebe, but again he barely seemed to feel them. "Mayb, honey?" he panted, coughing as the dust rose. "Don'tchu talk scary like that. Had me worried fer a sec." BOSS: dead hp: 10 damage: 4 charge: 3/3 stamina: 22

When the weight lifted off of her, she took in a sharp, painful inhale, and began the slow process of catching her breath. She opened one eye and glared up at the brightness, her head swimming with what felt like a hangover.
"Just five more minutes." She mumbled, curling up and refusing to move for a good five minutes, just like she'd asked for.
When they arrived at the lake again, she looked like she could have used a long, quiet nap. Fists rubbed at her eyes, and she kept trying to climb on Dawson's back. She was unsuccessful each time, because she was too tired to put any effort into it, and just ended up batting her arms against his back each time.
"If we go into this lake, and the sludge gets me, can I just let it take me down for sleepies?" She whined, dutifully trudging through until the vines returned to slap her back. The water against her face and the slam of her body against the ground did enough to wake her up, but it was the return of that sludge that reminded her that no, no she did not want to nap down in it's dirty slimy depths, thank you.

She was pulled down one final time before the exhaustion was pushed aside. She tread carefully, avoiding the vines and picking up the pace when the darkness began to encroach on her towards the end. She got to the other side, and then slowly dropped down to her knees, just to continue the journey and flop onto her stomach.
"Take your time." She mumbled out, though it was impossible to hear her. "I could use a little.."
She was out before she finished the sentence.

He welcomed the five minute break and stretched out on his back until they were good to go.
Dawson turned quiet as they approached. Both of them were weary, but he still couldn't get the image of Maebe choking under the lion out of his head; his eyes darted about for more dangers beyond just mud and vines.

He wished he has the strength to let her climb on—he would have been perfectly happy to in spite of his exhaustion—but it was barely enough to recover from the drudgery of angry vines and mud. Please don't sink down, hun, he'd say. No, you can't. Do it for me. Do it for the bacon bouquet. Do it to watch me have to clean your stuff while you don't have to lift a finger. Dawson plodded on at a steady if slow pace, unwilling to stop even though his natural instinct was to just give up already. How many times has they been at this? Maybe the temple was telling him he wasn't worthy. But he yanked one foot in front of the other until finally he fell over on the other side. Wheezing and wearing new tread marks from the vines, he sat by Maebe's side and played personal guardian, watching the pool and the room beyond and the shards of light that made it down, as Syn slowly worked on healing him up.

A personal guardian was just what Maebe needed to feel comfortable enough to close her eyes, and rest. She reveled in the feeling of breathing deeply, and her eyes slowly fluttered closed. One more blink, just to make sure they were safe, she told herself. Just one more, and then they would close. It took a few seconds to realize what she'd seen in that last blink, and open her eyes again. The hydra's heads hung just above theirs, glaring upside down at the resting duo with a gaping, dripping maw. She saw her own reflection in her fangs before it finally hit her to get up and move, and she felt the breeze that the hydra's strike caused against the small of her back. It slammed into the ground she'd just been lying on, digging its fangs into the dirt and pulling up chunks that rained mud against them. Well, at least she was awake.
