That leaves Billie landing on the other side of Lauralae, immediately whirling back around to face the woman-turned-wolf. That, at least, gives her pause rather than launching right into another attack. If she's dealing with another shiftling, she isn't really inclined to pick fights, but what kind of shiftling stumbles around a marsh knife-first?

Even though she doesn't charge again, she does still hiss and prowl to one side, still on all fours as she landed, never taking her eyes off the wolf. Given the chance, she'll start circling, trying to get a better look.
