Running is the answer.
Something about the missed arrow and resulting river star reaction seemed intentional and gave Ace the impression that he'd somehow pissed the woman off. How that was possible baffled him. Sure, he ruffled a few feathers now and again, even though his silver tongue and charming grin usually got him out of any serious trouble, but some people just wouldn't be appeased. However, this might be a new record, considering they'd barely spoken more than a few words.
Whatever the case, when the creature incorrectly assumed him to be an 'easy target,' Ace decided to prove it wrong. His shift was fast like everything else about him, his hooves suddenly appearing to come down hard against the Void monstrosity. His muscles rippled under his shiny black pelt as his legs stabbed and stomped with lethal precision, causing the river star to squeal, squelch, and squirm beneath him. Thanks to Melita's own contributions, he was able to swiftly deal with the threat. He moved to scuff his hooves in the mossy riverbank, trying to rid them of the oily blood that now coated them while his black mane fluttering in the breeze, a heavy breath puffing from his nose.

The question is irrelevant.
