[Well, of course he's counting on her!! She's here, she's on his arm, there's helpful opportunities abound and Shizuo isn't terribly picky. If he judged everybody's helpfulness on the merit of how good they are at punching things compared to himself, well....there sure wouldn't be anybody helpful enough at all, really. Which would be silly.
Sure enough, his faith in Maya is promptly rewarded too. One flying skate and a toppling rack of bras later, the incoming infected are stumbling aside, and Shizuo's more than happy to make use of the newly-provided opening. Hopefully Maya meant getting ready to jump in the literal sense, because that's...about what Shizuo does, actually, with a final wide half-leaping stride through the newly-formed gap.
After that it's not a very long way at all. A few seconds later--following a lot of punching on Shizuo's part and a lot of throwing-things on Maya's part--they're finally out of the lingerie section altogether, much to Shizuo's relief. The area opens up, clothing racks thinning out in favor of exit space...and, sure enough, doorways of dressing rooms up ahead. After taking a sharp glance around to make sure they're not being pursued by any more immediately nearby infected, Shizuo promptly ducks into the nearest dressing room with a sigh.
Shutting and locking the door behind them, he shifts to start...letting Maya down too, finally.] ...Well, that sucked. Looks like we made it for now, though. You okay?
