[Man...didn't he do this to Lucina too, way back in Perdition's Rest? He really needs to stop doing this. Somebody's going to get seriously hurt by him doing this one of these days. So Shizuo's thinking, at the moment, as he accidentally drags down Aqua and has to go about awkwardly trying to prop her back onto her feet...
--Except there turns out to be no time to actually do that, as a couple of infected arrive in the area rather sooner than expected. Maybe they'd already been nearby, and got drawn over by the commotion--but either way Shizuo's straightening to face them, only to realize he dropped the stop sign with his recent fumble--
But that's alright, apparently, because Aqua's already leaping into action, grabbing up his stop sign to pull it off and everything. One infected trips down, another is whacked away, and Shizuo has just enough presence of mind to at least straighten and promptly slug a third incoming infected in the face, knocking that one out cold. In the resulting lull, he finishes taking a very large and irritable bite out of the last of his freeze pop before accepting the stop sign back from Aqua with a short scoff of a laugh.]
Ah, no problem. Owed you that one for pulling you over like that, anyway. Hey, you landed some pretty good hits too.
[With that, Shizuo hefts the sign easily back over his shoulder, dropping his empty freeze pop wrap and flatting it under the heel of his shoe. He turns his attention to the shop behind him, where the people within are beginning to peer out the doorway with alarmed faces at the commotion.] Alright, you guys need to shut this door and put stuff in front of it, yeah? It looks like there's more infected people coming over, we'll deal with them.
[Immediately voices start rising in alarm, some with panic. But Shizuo helps the calmer ones shut the door, leaving both him and Aqua outside.] Alright, time to get this over with...
