"Naw, it's okay." She grinned at him, and if he offered a hand she'd definitely take it. "It is kind of cool. Mom used to call me bionic." I had been years sense the lose of her leg was a sore subject. Gretch was used to it now, and did everything she could to make the best out of her situation. On her feet, she rotted her leg, looking down at the gnawed on chrome. "I figured it was gunna get scarred up eventually, it's okay." Hard to be a warrior for humanity and not get a little banged up here or there. Oh well. "No worries! A few scratches never hurt anything." Another bright grin. "Shall we give it another go?"

"Oh, like yer username!" He looked pleased to have figured it out by himself. [coolor=orangered]"Alrigh', if yer good, then...I'll try t'do better by ya this time."
Taking a deep breath, he fixed his hat, summoned his shield, and led the way in once more. Dawson was a little more cautious this time, his swings timed to bash rather than swing like it was a sword. The shield was heavy; he had to be careful.

"Yes! Yes exactly." The girl beamed, delighted that he'd made the connection. More delighted by that chivalrous attitude. It was a rare trait these days, even rarer in a man that barely knew you. She gave him a little wink before he charged into the shadowlings, following along in his wake as he cleared the way. A few ambitious beasties came at them from behind, and Gretchen called her staff to her hands, swinging it like a club to send the little monsters shrieking into oblivion.

Did he say a little cautious? He meant very cautious. The end of the corridor seemed as far away as ever, but Dawson was vigilant about the encroaching shadows. He liked to think Syn's visage was what was keeping them from being overwhelmed again, though he tried not to focus on that proud thought too much.
He snuck several glances at Gretchen, face set with concentration rather than attempting to converse like he wanted to. Multitasking probably wasn't going to help either of them get through this faster.

Gretchen was busy trying to keep the mass of little bodies from getting too close, but she did notice those cautious little glances in her direction. He was trying to look out for her, clear a path for them both, and it was kind of really adorable. On the chance she happened to catch his eye on one of those occasions he looked her way she'd flash him a a grateful grin. He was doing so well, but she couldn't leave all the work to him. With a renewed sense of purpose she brought her staff around and took out a small handful of the little monsters in one solid swing. "Looking good there, Shaggy!"

He tugged his cap in salute and grinned back, feeling a little better with the praise. Maybe it was that which let Dawson cut through the shadows easier, or maybe he found his momentum literally charging forward, bowling shadows over like he was running through water, or a shark in a school of fish, or a cannonball bursting through enemy ships. (Claude was rubbing off on him too much.) He tried not to stray too far from Gretchen nevertheless. "Does it feel weird?" Dawson asked. "Uh, the leg I mean. When yer movin' n' stuff."

Gretchen made his job easier, sticking close behind him as they made their way through. If Dawson had the front covered, Gretchen could at least try to cover their asses. A couple shadowlings crept closer, and the Death took a hard swing, knocking them aside with a pleased grin. Devika was a quiet presence in her mind. Watching, waiting to see if Gretchen would rise to the occasion, or stumble and fall again. "When I first got it it was weird, but I've been using a prosthetic for so long now that I barely notice it anymore. It's a piece of me, sort of. Like an extension of myself." A tool, instead of a literal analog for the lost limb itself. "Have you ever met anyone with a missing limb before?" Status Wave: 3 Attack Dmg: 2 Total Shadowlings taken out: 10 Recoveries left: 0

They'd formed a sync of sorts, which made him more comfortable with talking as they went. "No, uh, yer the first," Dawson replied with an unnecessary chuckle; he still didn't know how to properly talk to girls after a set period of time, let alone one he had probably asked a too blunt question of. "How'd ya get it—"
Apparently even the shadows thought this was too forward. First one latched onto his shoulder, then another at his back, a third on his leg, and in seconds he was reduced to a wailing pile on the ground that had to get ported out.

Gretchen wouldn't have found the question forward. She was used to it by now, after all, had been asked the same time and time again. Once upon a time, when then injury was fresh and she still hadn't gotten used to the prosthetic, it had bothered, her. Now? Now it was just anther part of who she was, and she was proud to be different, proud to have overcome something so challenging. So she would have answered him happily, if he hadn't have gone down in a scrambling rush of little black bodies. "Dawson!" She tried to save him, using her staff like a club to beat the little bodies away from the poor guy, but they just kept swarming in. For every one she took out, three more seemed to take their place. It was momentarily alarming before she remembered the techs that were stationed to fish them out if anything happened. And right on queue, one showed up to wave her away. She lingered for just a moment, but as little claws started to prickle at her legs she had to keep moving. "Meet you on the other side, Dawson! Wait for me."

She thought she was going to have a harder time of it now that she was on her own, but it ended up being easier than she had thought. Certainly Dawson had helped to keep shadowlings at bay, but him being so close, she did have the full range of her weapon. Now she did. Little dark bodies when flying as she knocked them away from her, and it was insanely satisfying. Status Wave: 5 Attack Dmg: 5 Total Shadowlings taken out: 24 Recoveries left: 0

The option to continue was there, but without a partner, this just wasn't that entertaining. Satisfying, but not worth continuing after her task had been complete. So she hurried along, making her way back towards the begin so she could find where the Techs had left Dawson.

By the time Gretchen returned to the spot he had been brought to, Dawson had already thrown himself into the portal in. His entrance was full throttle, a crash against a wave of shadows to vent some of his frustration.

A lot of frustration, as it turned out. It was cathartic to wipe out the shadows instead of run from them for once, and with his momentum Dawson forged ahead with a determined look in his eyes.

His senses itched. The claustrophobic vision of darkness slowly closed in on him when he remembered he was alone, though Syn's runes were a welcome bright orange in the midst of it. Several shadows began trying to leap at him from behind, and with a small growl he spun and whirled the shield to beat them back.

A flashy move but an almost costly one as well. More shadowlings beelined for his legs, and he fought to shake them off and crunch them under the snarling lion's visage. In some ways he wished he had something more than a glowing light of protection. Fire, now that would have been nice.
