Welcome to Gaia! ::

He certainly could be (she remembered a certain mission or two). But today he wasn’t, happily.

Sherry shook her head. But that was the whole of her job here, keeping him alive. That meant making sure he didn’t get hurt repeatedly by the spines and the beast and all that. So if he was getting hurt, that was her fault, in her mind anyway. “I’ll still try to keep a better eye on things!” She yelled it and smiled.

“Like that one! To the right!” It wasn’t sparking too much, but it was worth noting.

It didn’t help things to have the titan still trying to lumber around on its tether. It made her job harder, and she was pretty sure it was contributing to Jake’s troubles. Hrm.

“Careful!”

Fighting anything was not something Sherry ever thought she’d do, but here she was. Even if she wasn’t the one actively trying to drive blades into something, she was still here, fighting.

“Good!” As long as they could keep up teamwork like that, they had this thing. Lumbering titan or not, they’d brought down a handful of others, this one would be no different, surely.

The anchor was holding strong, as she knew it would, but she did keep sparing glances for it. She’d been here long enough to know things were never too easy. Shopping had been a prime example of that. Anything could go sideways.

But not everything went off course. Sherry let herself have one little sigh of relief at the fact that things were still going relatively smoothly here. Now if it would just last.

This was doing very little to keep Armagnac satisfied. As far as she was concerned she was being underutilized and she and her hunter should be the ones doing damage to the beast. Jake was clearly too weak for such things. Of course, Armagnac was still waiting for the titan to eat Jake, so Sherry wasn’t really listening to the weapon’s rants anyway.

Closer, they had to be getting closer. How much more time did the equipment need? How much time had passed? It was so easy to lose track of such things, what with everything going on.

“I think we’re almost there! Just a bit longer!” It was possible that she was way off though, and giving Jake nothing but false hope.

Another cringe as Jake hit the spine. She couldn’t help it, she just had to cringe in sympathy when he got shocked. It couldn’t feel good, could it? Sherry highly doubted it.

She smiled as she nodded. They’d been at this for a bit, and the beast already seemed a bit slower than it had been earlier. If that wasn’t a sign they were almost done with this beast, Sherry didn’t want to know. She liked thinking positively.

Maybe she and Jake should have another sit down and a serious talk about this Chester thing. Though…Sherry didn’t think Jake would want to talk about it too much, he wasn’t the type. And there wasn’t much she could do to help anyway.

Except offer her support. “How’s your shield?”

She was still going to worry. If she didn’t worry, she’d end up letting him run himself into the ground fighting these things. Or let him get too carried away and never heal or something else just as silly and terrible.

Tired as she was, she knew he had to be tired, too. And she knew the pressure he was under was far worse than what she was feeling. Again, Sherry was cursing the fact that there was not a whole lot she could do to help. It was all on Jake, and that…made sense but didn’t make it any easier to sit by and not do much.

“Okay!” He probably couldn’t see the scrutinizing look she gave him. They’d been at this long enough a heal was probably due sometime soon. Especially with all those shocks.

If only. Sherry didn’t like the phrase, because it usually held some sort of regret or want with it. She tried to accept her lot in life, tried to keep things on the positive. But sometimes it was hard. Like when you couldn’t be of proper help to someone, especially if you cared about that person. Like now.

Whatever thoughts her mind was working through were not helped by the sight of Jake getting shocked again. She should be doing better at this and keeping that from happening. He needed to focus on weakening the beast. “Sorry!”

The titan seemed rather sparky at the moment, as Sherry noted more than one spike showing signs of electric life. “And watch it! Behind you!” She only wished she could actually help more.

She also started digging out those bandages.

In Sherry’s eyes, it wasn’t really all that much trouble to help him out. She enjoyed it, more or less. Not the potential for hurt and suffering of course, but the helping. She enjoyed helping, even if she felt she could be doing a better job of it.

“How fine are you?” There! She finished digging out a bandage. “Do you need a bandaid yet?” She was serious, even if Jake couldn’t see her using her serious face. “Because they are ready to go when you need them!”

Hopefully he wouldn’t need more than one or two, and hopefully this beast was as close to exploding as she thought it was. The longer this wore on, the more tired she became. He had best be planning to rest a bit after this one. Just a bit, it didn’t even have to be long.
