( of course. of course. why does he always end up around people with no self preservation skills? he's more than happy to lead this thing away but before he can, she takes charge and he'd be angry if he weren't so shocked.
what breaks him out of that surprise is when the shadow moves towards her. that shoves him into action and he moves towards the two of them, reaching down to scoop up a discarded piece of wood on the ground. it's not much but he hopes it'll do something.
the shadow's attention is on the girl so he has a clear shot to move up behind him and he swings, hoping that, by some miracle, the board strikes solid and doesn't just pass through the thing.
