There was a new look in his eyes. Several days after that disastrous encounter, he was able to get off the cot and leave the infirmary with bandages along the puncture wounds in his chest and left arm, and by God was Dawson itching to something's neck by then. Technically he should have been taking it easy, but he couldn't stand the thought of just lazing around.
Spying the bull pacing at the temple entrance, he gave a bullish snort himself and summoned his weapon.

The break had come as a welcome breather, for her; but it was shadowed by worry. Dawson hadn't said much - and even now, returning to the temple again, he wasn't in a talking mood. She'd never seen him that frustrated, but she hadn't known him long enough to really find anything a surprise.
Still, it was discomforting. This was Dawson, and the smile was gone. It felt like a cloudy day, despite the burning, unrelenting sun.
"It's my turn to worry about you now." She told him, prodding gently to see if he was still hurt. "So don't go making anything worse. Just remember, you're a Hunter for the rest of your life. We've got all the time in the world for this."
Oh, and look, a new friend to make their lives just a little harder. Her weapon was awkwardly summoned as she stumbled to keep up, in hopes of taking the brunt of the fight this time.

It turned out, Maebe's ability to crush a marble monster beneath her petite little feet came from the fact that she'd felt completely free. Now, dampened by the fact she was worried about Dawson's state of mind, she'd returned to what she'd originally thought was her natural state. Half-assed chipping, followed by constant headturns to look back and make sure he was okay.
This was why she'd been placed in Moon, she reminded herself. So many years had been spent weeding this natural tendency out. So many years, wasted when instinct was stronger than she ever could be.
It really bummed her out.

Chipping away, barely making a dent, and always taking more than she was giving. This was the story of her life, and the battle was finally starting to echo that.

The trident dug in a little deeper, and she turned her head to look at her handiwork, pulling it back out with a stumble that ended in a hoof smack.

He grunted something that sounded a little like, "Okay." It was obvious his eyes were set on the statue and just how much pain he could deliver in his current state.
Not enough, as it were.

As Maebe chipped away at the bull, he grabbed ahold of one of the horns to keep it from goring his other arm. The weight was more than he could handle at that stage of recovery, however, and Dawson cried out as it pushed and smashed against his weak hold.

It was too hard: he couldn't keep a grip on the horn and expect to keep his shield up when his shoulder was still tender.
Growling, Dawson pushed it away just long enough to get his weapon in the space between them and pushed back with the weight of his body rather than the force of his arm, stubbornly fighting for turf in an inverse tug of war.

And even that he wouldn't be able to keep up for very long either. Weak. Syn praised him for getting back in the game, ignorant of how much it hurt her host, but he was still so weak.
With an inarticulate battle cry, he pushed the bull back long enough to swing up and then hammer its head down with a vengeance.

Even if worrying had her stumbling in the fight, the sound of Dawson crying out in pain did the opposite. Her eyes widened for a second, before an unexpected adrenaline rush filled her, and she grinning maniacally at the return of what she'd been missing since her knuckles had failed her. She moved to stand near Dawson, rose her trident up over her head, and drove it deep right into the bull's face, pulling hard on it to use it as leverage to climb up. The bull was howling, thrashing, fighting her with every second, and she refused to let up. She had it now.

But now that she had its attention, it was no longer hurting Dawson, and the adrenaline rush slowly ebbed back down into trickles, before disappearing altogether. She was on its head now, which meant she was still doing more damage as she prodded it over and over, but there was little left of the violent and excited girl that had climbed up on it a moment ago.

And then she dropped her trident.
She dropped her trident.

She toppled right off of the bull, slamming hard into the ground beside her trident, and scrambled to pick it up and hold it up between her and a quickly falling hoof, ready to stomp her down. Instead, it was punctured with prongs, and gave her enough time to roll away before it slammed down on the ground.

She hopped up onto her feet again, and came charging at the bull, whirling to give her attack some momentum as she drove it deep into the bull's side. The sound of heavy cracking was peppered with wild, high pitched snorts and growls. She'd hit a sore spot, it seemed.
"Take that." She huffed, backing up enough to kick the trident in further, until it all but disappeared.
