[Momo eyes up the oncoming trees, shifting his angle slightly even as he glances back over his shoulder to see what she's doing.]
Are you gonna be okay if you do that? You're already in bad shape, putting any more stress on your injuries is a hell of a risk.
[Granted, if it gets any nearer after she hits it, Momo will definitely take up meat shield and physical smashing duties, but he's concerned about her getting more injured without the creature actually getting to her.
That said, she also doesn't strike him as the type to be outright talked out of it, so he's trying the voice of reason route. He circles around the last section of the treeline, where the trees are a bit more widely spaced but still an extra barrier, still heading diagonally forwards but following her instruction to create extra cover. They're a few metres shy of making it out when the thing finally catches up close enough to be within line of sight, emerging from behind a tree another several metres behind them.
One of its legs is basically gone, broken and twisted so badly it doesn't even look like it could take weight. The horse head and neck is bearing some deep cuts as well, but it's the human head that's the worse for wear, looking like someone got literally halfway through removing it before being thrown off. It's not quite dangling, but it's wobbling around a bit dangerously with the creature's awkward gait.
Momo turns his upper body towards it but doesn't outright stop just yet, ready to throw the barrier he's been holding between them once Maria gets her shot in, in case just the fireball isn't enough to finish it. Or if he has to intervene before that.]
