Zelda was watching Kobato as she left making sure that her escape was clear of monsters so that the hero could guide the people away without trouble. She saw the monster approaching Kobato but didn't take a moment to cry out. Instead she ran towards her friend interposing herself between the pair as the monster begins to attack.

"I will stay behind. You keep going." She didn't want her to stop though their was a gash down her right arm from the monsters claws. The civilians were more important and they were close to being within the rang of the refuge camp. They would be safe there, or so Zelda believed.
