As soon as she spoke to him again, Shannon snapped out of his daze and looked at her wound.
"Ummm, there might be something inside but..." he said quitely as he looked back up towards the window he had just dropped from. The grasshoppers weren't visible but he could still hear their chittering from inside his house.
He felt like such a coward and a loser. He had stumbled around about to cry when this girl had rushed forward to save him and had gotten hurt in return.
He dropped his eyes to look at the ground below him.
"W-why did this happen to me? I didn't have any desire to be a part of this Game... I'm not important or anything either. So why was I chosen to be a Player?" he asked, not to anyone in particular.

Maddison took a step back when the hammer guy came running out in front of her and the giant horse. The monster nearly kicked his head off and didn't take but a second to begin charging both her and this new guy down.
Maddi twirled her spear around her arm and dodged the horse-beast by a tiny margin before stabbing the spear deep into it's shoulder as it ran past.
"I wasn't really planning!" she yelled at the hammer guy as she pulled her weapon out of the horse's thick hide.
She spun as she got her weapon loose and yelled again, "I was just looking for a good challenge!"
She looked back towards the other Player and grinned at him. She must have a bit of luck left because he had joined her at the exact moment she needed some help. Her time wasn't up yet.

Though, it just might be before the night was over, because the horse was still pounding down the street with only the tiniest hint of exhaustion exposed in its breathing.
