"I can. It can only take so much before it's gone," she informs himself, before her eyes turn back to the swirling chaos around Dipper. Hopefully it would be enough...
No. It would be. It had to be. They weren't going to let him down, not again. She hadn't been able to keep him from those awful people on the televised world, she wasn't going to just leave this alone.
Wash describes his power -- a bit like a templar, she thinks, does he even know? -- and the thought is disturbing. But it's necessary, in this case. Whatever reservations she has about choking off someone's origin of power has to be set aside for the moment, and she realizes that, even as her expression goes from horrified to grim. "Do what you have to. I'll protect you."
She slots herself in behind him as they move, allowing his armor to take most of the hits and ducking lower when a larger piece of debris comes swinging through. When she reaches her mark she crouches low to the ground. She was a small target before, but now? It'd have to land directly on top of her to hit. Not that that means she doesn't still keep her eyes on the chaos swirling around them.
Then, she hears Wash call out. Hopefully there's enough time between the pulse of negating energy and her rushing forward, leaping over fallen debris and, as soon as she's in range of them, casting out her barrier with everything's she got. A luminous, spiritual energy surges up and over them like a dome before vanishing, leaving a shimmering shield surrounding each individual.
