The meaning of “shade her just fine”
The paragraph below is from a part of the script of the movie, “Push, 2009.”
I don’t know the meaning of the underlined part. Can you explain me what it means?
00:49:13 There hot chicken place down stairs. Wanna come?
00:49:15 No, I'm good, I gonna stay here. See if I can help.
00:49:18 Have fun with that.
00:49:22 Where you going?
00:49:23 (SNICKERS)
00:49:24 Relax, Romeo. I can shade her just fine out in the hall.
00:49:29 I don't need to be a watcher to see where this is going.
00:49:33 (CONSEQUENCE PLAYING)

I've never heard "shade" used in this way, and more context would be helpful, but my guess is that it means the same thing as "shadow," that is, to follow discretely. I'm basing my guess on the nature of the movie, science fiction, set some time in the future. In a science fiction movie there is usually some attempt to speak in a way that is conjectured as the how people will speak in the future (note the rather unusual vocabulary, "hot chicken" and "a watcher").
