She really thought they were done for.
This would have been the first time they'd actually lost to these marble statues, and Maebe was pouting admirably as she stood there and nursed her wounds, until the golden glow surrounded her and hugged her skin like a warm hug.
She was driving her trident into the beast almost immediately, renewed at the promise of a chance.

That lion had some hell to pay, and he cheered Maebe on as he tried to fend off the lion's claw attacks. Maybe his shield did the trick, maybe its chipped nail made it distraught.
Or maybe Maebe's goddess glow was the second wind they needed.

Dawson's body clouded her view for a moment, and she re-assessed before she used this opportunity to wait for the perfect moment to strike. Claws were buried in Dawson's shield the moment Maebe ducked out from under his arm and dug in, crackling the marble under the prongs until it fell away in giant, clumpy pieces.

A second wind was exactly what she'd gotten. She could feel Thaw burning with desire, and she released his power by slamming the trident's handle down into the ground. At her and Dawson's feet, the world cracked and bubbled, until fire rose up to protect them behind it's orange-red glow.

She took staggered breaths as she struggled to carve down the monster, driving it into the ground until it was all but destroyed, as was she.
She fell to her knees when the barrier dissipated, and held on by nothing more than Thaw himself, keeping her from dropping completely to the ground.
She couldn't even tell Dawson she was done. It was hard enough to catch her breath.

In the dimming light of the lava Maebe had conjured, Dawson felt his heart beat frenetically as he eyed their opponent. Desperation and fear were what ultimately got him to swing out hard enough to break the statue apart as it stalked towards them, its paw scraping against his shield in a parting shot before it crumbled into ancient shards again.
This had been the closest fight they'd ever fought in the temple, and it was a morbid reminder of just how insignificant his strength was and could be. Dawson plopped down next to her once he was sure the lion wasn't going to stir, fanning himself with his hat as he caught his breath. "Well tha' was...fuuuhhhhhhh." He exhaled the rest of the word. "Gotta get myself a promotion, s**t..." Then at least he could pull his weight around here, or at least try to.

Maebe was still, unmoving until Dawson dropped down beside her. When he did, she rose a tired arm up and took her hat off, refusing to look at him as she handed it back over. "Nothing about that was supreme." She muttered. "I don't deserve this."

"Hey now." He made no motion to take the hat back and plopped his own back on. "We got one bad fight outta how many now? You been kickin' so much a**, Mayb, this ain' anythin' but a lil' stumble up the steps."

"Come on." She whined. Even as they walked towards the lake, she continued to try and hand him the hat over and over. "Supreme wouldn't stumble. I almost got us killed because I couldn't focus."
And as soon as she said it, she stopped giving him the hat back, and curled her arms around it protectively. She'd been reminded of how much she loved it.
It didn't protect her from a slew of vine attacks, though. Some of them didn't even wait for her to get in the water! Rude.

Even when the slimy stickiness tried to hold her captive, and she fought against it's firm hold and the whipping of vines that did not care she was already dealing with something, all that Maebe seemed to worry about was not losing the hat.

She suffered one last fall at the hands of the vine whips, before she ran stumbling to the other side of the lake, and dropped down against it's hard shore, finally free from hindrance.
She put the hat back on her head, and shoved it hard down until it covered her eyes once more.

He steadfastly continued to decline the hat and then smiled to himself when Maebe started to clutch at it instead. Even though it came at the price of protecting it from vicious vines and skin-sucking mud. He shed a single proud tear (for he very much understood the need to keep one's hat safe) before joining in after her.

Unlike Maebe, he simply pressed his hat down over his brow and let his other hand fend off the vines via his shield. As per usual, he had about average luck doing so, but Dawson knew there didn't seem to be a whole lot of point preparing; sometimes the pool just didn't care at all when they marched through, and sometimes it was just damn impossible. Thankfully, today wasn't one of those days.
"Supremes always keep goin'," he said as he reached the other side, patting Maebe's shoulder gingerly in case the vines had smacked her there. "Tha's why they ain' just Good's r' Great's. S'funny, I didn' normally wear that hat anyway; kinda like I was just holdin' on 'til it found a better place t'be."

Maebe took off the hat, and hit him with it. Her sudden violence became clear when exposure to her eyes showed that they were bright and glistening, on the verge of tears. She snapped the hat back on quickly, and pulled it over her eyes again. "How dare you say things like that." She huffed out, her voice cracking. It was too much to think that his hat was just waiting for her. She didn't need to be barraged with that much emotion when she was standing in a temple, trying not to die. And she was never going to lose this hat, for the rest of her life. She was going to marry it and have a thousand hat babies. Luckily, scarabs did not respond to emotion, and as they crawled icily up her skin, she felt the last of her shield shatter at their painful touch. She pressed a hand to her heart when the raw feeling came, and the cold soon followed. Her skin rose in goosebumps as Thaw's warmth left her, and she curled instinctively against Dawson in an effort to make up for it. The metal bird judged her clinginess. She did not care. The heat of bull's snorted breath against her neck did make her care, however, as it charged her and sent her off running on her own. She felt it's horns burrow into the skin of her back every time it caught her, and she screamed as it broke the tension of her skin. It was real pain; not the numb afterglow of a shield taking damage. This bull had the means to kill her, she thought. If she wanted to, she could just stop, and let him do his job. It was nice to know she still didn't want that, anymore.
