Jake's actions were often questionable at times, but right now, it was just the duration of this whole thing catching up to him. He knew his shield could hold a few more blows, but here was still the matter of getting away unscathed when they had weakened it enough. The Titan shifted again, and Jake couldn't help but wince as his FEAR shield took another hit from the spikes. He needed to make sure it was strong enough to withstand several more blows, considering he wasn't quite sure how much longer it'd take to weaken it.
Better safe than sorry, he supposed, and he pulled out a roll of runic bandages. Every precaution was needed.

Sherry saw, for she was watching close as she could, Jake pull out those bandages. Her scowl was not so much angry as curious (somehow), but she had to trust him. She was here for support, and if he didn’t yet need to dip into her supply of bandages, then it was ok. Even if she had just told him, repeatedly, to let her know how he was holding up. He’d let her know if he needed another round of bandages, surely. He had better.
Thoughts should not be allowed to wander, it was when they did that focus wandered, and that was when folks got hurt. “Crap!” The titan was beginning to shift again, and spikes starting to spark. “Jake! Watch it! And watch that spike on the left!”
Inwardly, she was cursing herself for not watching close enough. Good job, Sherry. Good job.
At least they weren’t dead yet.

While he had promised to tell Sherry when his shield was low, actually doing so proved a little harder. Perhaps it was that arrogance that still resided in him, and, well, it wasn't like it was ABSOLUTELY depleted. He was... just taking precautions, that's all. She didn't need to worry... yet...
If anything, he should have been paying attention to his poor job at bandaging when the titan shifted again, making him drop the roll of bandages and nearly landing face-first into another spike. Well, that went that effort.
Rather than worry about it, he decided to focus on attacking. The titan wasn't too far off from kicking the bucket (figuratively speaking, considering there was no way to kill them...) and perhaps if he took it down fast enough, his shield would hold. Yes, everything would work out. ... as long as he paid attention.

Sherry saw that fumble. It was easy enough to blame it on the Titan and not on fatigue, but she still worried. Come on, her boyfriend was all but rolling around and losing bandages on top of a giant monster that was attempting to lumber around on their beach. She had a right to be worried.
“Jake! Are you okay? That looked like it hurt!” Her hand was already fumbling with her med kit. She’d have those bandages ready to go in just a moment. “You had better be watching yourself up there!” And preparing to tell her when he needed help. Damn his pride.
One hand was still touching the tether as the other pulled out her bandages, ready for use at a moments notice. She was fairly certain they’d have this and be fine, but one never knew. That thing still had spikes, teeth, and feet. Being barbeque pancakes was not how Sherry wanted to end the day.

Pancakes sounded nice... if he was into sweets. Alas, he wasn't, though he wasn't quite sure why. Perhaps barbeque... The cafeteria lacked much variety... as well as taste in most of it's food, considering most of them were MREs, but at least food wasn't on his mind at the moment.
Instead, he was silently musing about his shield, and how much longer it'd last against the titan. He needed to finish it off quick before Sherry noticed. As it was already, he suspected she was getting suspicious, especially after he pulled out the bandages... and failed miserably. His pride would probably be the end of him.
I'm... I'm ok! Just a bit more!"

To the casual observer it might have looked like Sherry was squinting to get a better view of the situation or in concentration or some such thing. To anyone who knew her, it would have looked like what it was, a scowl of suspicion. After a tumble like that, he was “okay”? Really?
“Are you sure?” She didn’t bring these bandages for herself, Jake. Not at all. And really, there was no shame in letting a healer heal. It’s what they were there for, after all.
“Because if you die up there I’m going to beat the snot out of you!” Sherry knew she shouldn’t make empty threats, but it seemed suitable for the moment somehow. Perhaps just because they were in the middle of a battle, more or less?

Busted. "..O-okay I might need some help."
Jake grimaced, admitting it reluctantly. How shameful. Wasn't it supposed to be the guy looking after the girl? And here he was needing help from her. Though, he supposed it was better that he was up here and not Sherry. He couldn't stand the fact that she might have to put herself in harm's way and that he might not be able to do anything about it.
Also, she sounded pretty pissed, and while he did admit dying sucked, getting beat up by your girlfriend wasn't that great either. And he really didn't put it past her to do something like that, or... at least he was pretty sure her weapon would encourage it.

“I thought so!” Sherry sighed, then lovingly tossed a bandage in Jake’s direction. With any luck, it would actually help out here. Though it was possible it wouldn’t. Which would be sad.
“You realize my entire job on this outing is to work support and keep you healed, right?” Her hand was already poking around inside of her medkit again. “So don’t be silly and let me do my job.” Really, she should know better than to wait for him to ask for help. It was Jake they were talking about.
“I’d rather you not die, okay!” She was a simple girl, with simple requests. “How are you feeling now?” She had to have something else in here if that hadn’t helped enough.

Sadly, he hadn't managed to catch the bandage, and in the motion of trying to, ended up stumbling into another spike, taking a chunk out of his shield. Geez, if he wasn't careful, he wouldn't even last long enough to get off the titan, let alone away from it... or even take it down before it broke through the tether and tried to crush Sherry. No, he couldn't let that happen. He had to take it down before his shield was completely gone. He couldn't let... someone else get hurt because of him.
"I'm fine! Stay away from the titan!" Just a bit more...

She saw the bandage miss. Crap! She was utterly a failure as a helper.
“You are not fine!” He’d asked for help and then not gotten it. There was no way he was fine. “And I’ll get as close to the beastie as I want to!” Not that she had any real desire to get any closer, but she wasn’t about to put up with silly instructions now.
“Here, try this!” Again, something was tossed in Jake's direction. It was another bandage. With a special mark, something the guys who loaned out the gear had given her. They’d muttered something about ‘life’ and ‘helping’ but Sherry hadn’t been paying much attention. “Hopefully it helps more than the last one did.”
The last one was entirely her fault. And she'd never live it down if this one failed, too. "How do you feel now?"

It seemed he wasn't the only stubborn one. "Sherry, LISTEN, I-" And then she was tossing something again.
How she managed to toss something so high given her distance was beyond him, but he managed to catch it this time, inspecting the roll curiously. This looked like another pair of runic bandages... but weren't they only allowed to carry one roll at all times? It did look a little different...
Rather than ask questions, he decided to try applying it to the shield, eyes widening slightly when it replenished it a fair amount. Just what WAS this? Well, at least he didn't have to worry about the shield TOO much now, and he waved, hoping she was able to hear him.
"It's good now, thanks!" Now he just had to do his part and get this over with...
In his attempt to concentrate, the titan shifted again, making him stumble, and he winced as another spike bit into his shield. Dammit, why couldn't it just stop moving and let him hit it? Stop making his life difficult titan.

“Good,” she muttered, mostly to herself. Silly, stubborn Jake. She’d have to talk to him again about informing her of things like health and shield levels. After they were done with this, of course. Right now they needed to focus on the task at hand and not dying.
Of course, right about then it was time to watch as the titan shifted and Jake stumbled. “Careful!” Late but the warning was out of her mouth before she could stop it. It was still relevant, though, as something else caught her eye. “Right! Spike to the right!” The sparks would be pretty any other time. Right now they were nothing but dangerous.
How much longer did they have to deal with this thing for? Sherry was fairly certain it wouldn’t go down soon enough.

Perhaps, had he kept up with his usual method, it would indeed take quite some time for him to take it down. Time, which, he really couldn't afford right now. Even with his shield somewhat replenished, the titan could easily take it down again by thrashing about, and he didn't want to endanger Sherry anymore than she had to. Even if the cable held, it wouldn't forever, and if they couldn't get the equipment to kick in before it snapped, they would have wasted their efforts.
Not wanting to waste any more time, he pulled out his artifact, glad to at least be putting it to use in some way, and stuck it into one of the spikes. There was a loud roar, and the thrashing became more volatile. That was his cue to leave.
"Ok, it's down, get away!"

Sherry was well aware of the beast’s reaction and the fact that it now seemed angrier than ever. She was also aware that certain runic things seemed to be kicking in. Good signs all around. So it was a relief when Jake yelled the ‘okay’ to disengage. She didn’t fancy the idea of leaving him behind or of being in the blast radius.
"Okay!"
Practiced hands fumbled at the anchor and its equipment. She’d done this before, more than once, and she knew what she needed to do. As long as everything cooperated it would be fine. Just had to—Yes! Disengagement successful! Now came the running.
Something Sherry wasted no time doing. Clearing the blast zone was her next priority, even if she tossed a few glances over her shoulder to keep an eye on Jake.

He let out a sigh of relief as he saw that Sherry made it away safely. Now it was his turn.
Getting off the titan was a little tricky with it thrashing so much, but he managed to zipline down without too much trouble. Outrunning it was a little harder, considering the fatigue from the whole ordeal was catching up to him. But no, he couldn't give up here. Sherry would be mad, and, well, asides from getting beat up by her (he really did think she'd do it), he didn't want to see her sad... or end up in the infirmary.
And so he ran, putting all his effort into it and literally barrel-rolled into Sherry.
