Stacia barks a noise that's probably a laugh and doesn't argue. She was lucky enough to land in a sept with good relations with the (other) Fera, and she's done what she can to make herself an expert in intershifter relations; different shifters are good at different things, and so many problems seem to stem from Garou thinking that they're the best at everything. If the Bastet indicates "go, I'll cover you", she'll trust that the Bastet knows enough to get their own tail out of trouble without a Garou to babysit.

She drops into Lupus and makes for the trees.
