Shannon jerked his head up in surprise at Robyn's words. So she wasn't going to abandon him? He felt his eyes start to water but quickly blinked them back before she could see.
"O-ok, got it," he said to her handful of advice.
Then he saw the monsters crawling out of the shadows and summoned his sword out of whatever abyss it stayed in.
His hands were shaking slightly as he drew his weapon in front of him. He tried to steady his stance and watched Robyn shoot multiple arrows from her bow.

As he was watching her with amazement a small flowery creature was sneaking towards him from the side. He caught the movement out of his peripheral view and turned towards it, a grimace on his face. He had bought some temporary glasses while he was getting Robyn's medical supplies so his vision was more-or-less perfect now.
The flower-creature charged at him and he stepped forward shakily, his sword swinging in an arc in front of him. He managed to cut off a large red petal from the monster and it let out a shrill shriek that made Shannon want to drop his sword and cover his ears. Instead he rushed forward so that he was standing over it and stabbed his blade straight down into the middle of the flower. The shrieking stopped and, breathing hard, Shannon turned back around to face Robyn.

When Patrick stopped at the intersection Maddison did so as well. She could hear the sounds of other shadow creatures surrounding them and hissed, "We don't have time for this!"
She rushed directly into the speeding traffic, moving her body swiftly to avoid becoming roadkill. The cars honked and beeped at her, many almost hitting her without a second glance. She knew this wasn't such a smart idea but she needed to sit down and rest soon; her side was throbbing and she needed someplace somewhat safe to take a look at it.
Luck was definitely on her side tonight as she mad it across the street in one piece.

She turned around and waved her arm frantically, grinning mischievously.
"Come on Patrick! Don't be a chicken!"
