Joe was very in the zone when it came to killing the hollows. He and Aamu worked like a tag team of sorts, covering each other's backs so no one would get seriously injured. Joe had a few scratches here and there, but otherwise he was fine. As of that moment, Joe had a hollow locked firmly in a chokehold, which he threw roughly into Aamu's claws. It disintegrated in her grasp, and she flexed her fingers in disgust.<br/><br/>Her shadowy figure slithered over to grab another one of the hollows, but her attention was elsewhere when Mary yelled. Joe's eyes widened and his head shot up to get a good view of Salem's sister. Well, they really blew it now. He stopped with the wrecking of the hollows and sort of gave Mary a halfhearted wave in greeting. "Hi, Mary," he said sheepishly, shoving his hands in his pockets as if that would help him feel less awkward. He looked at Solomon quizzically, as if to ask whether or not it was his fault that Mary was here in the first place.<br/><br/>Even though Joe was done fighting, Aamu was still paying close attention. When Joe went to greet Mary, he'd left himself completely undefended. A hollow approached him at considerable speed, and Aamu jumped for it, knocking Joe out of the way with the big bushy end of her tail. He fell but recovered quickly and dusted himself off. Aamu had the hollow pinned under her large body. She eyed him as if to scold him, and he shrugged angrily. She then looked towards Solomon like Joe had, and then at Mary. "Hrm... What are we gonna do with you?" she speculated out loud.
