He was more than welcome to steal the spotlight, as Lydia let herself fall back into a more support role. Being quick and distracting the zombie if it looked like it would go for him, she was running interference. Harder than it looked, and she swore silently to herself to start practicing more. Or at least learning to be more effectively aggressive, even though she preferred self-defense.
Once the monster fell, then she'd apologize for making him feel uncomfortable. Even if this situation, or close enough to it, was what she'd worried about.]
