[She doesn't want him to get hurt. That's first on her priority list, protecting him. So when she hears him approach, she extends her arm, attempting to act as a barrier that might keep him safe from what's on the other side. It's common sense to argue with him, tell him that he can't help.
But she realizes that she trusts him enough to have her back, and to keep himself alive when it comes down to it. So she nods. Yes, he can help.]
If you get them in the brain, they'll go down peacefully.
[Up this close, he can see the state of what was once people. Their skin is ashen, most of it in the process of swelling and falling off, leaving patches of gore revealed. Their eyes are clouded, but focused on the two of them anyway, and Cassandra manages to judge the exact moment before they'll strike.
She sees it in the way their heads tilt, and the smaller of the three that are gathered rushes forward. In order to protect Luke as best as she can, she rushes forward, making quick work of ducking and dodging the larger male zombie lunging at her so she can slam the blade of her knife through the skull of the smaller female that's moved first.
That leaves the two large males, and Cassandra about faces to try and figure out how to get her blade up high enough without leaping up and on them. In the end, she just shrugs and lunges forward, using all of her body weight to land against the larger male so she can make him fall down face first in the sand. This ends with her in a heap with the stupid thing, attempting to fight for the top position.]
