[Pride definitely gets people killed, and when Matt notices this, well, kid, that's pretty sure what he's about to witness happening. Matt would rather that not happen. If he can stop it. And even if he can't, he's going to try. How could he not?
Dark glasses off, and he just hopes that it won't be noticed that he's blind, that his gaze doesn't quite focus exactly on what he probably ought to be looking at, that the stick he's currently wielding is the red and white cane he carries, collapsed and folded up. Not the best weapon. But better than nothing. These things -- whatever they are -- are a great deal stronger than anything normal.
Matt doesn't hesitate, darting in. He catches the creature under its chin with his cane, knocking it back, before he's reaching out to grab at the back of the kid's collar.]
Come on. Now's not the time for a last stand. Let's go.
