Count Stacia as one of the "surprised" -- she'd expected South to be the type to protest until she realized what was going on. How nice to be surprised by a lack of yelling for a change!

She huffs in agreement, shielding South with her bulk and flexing her claws. Getting shot with an arrow still hurts, but at least she can walk it off without needing to take a trip to medical and let healthcare practitioners of unclear loyalty poke her. This particular little asshole is staying out of swatting range though, which means she really has to take him out lest he start spreading that tactic around.
