Cam took an automatic step back as the leopard's lips twisted, kind of spoiling their whole "back away slowly" thing, but that didn't seem to be working anyway. Should they yell? Throw something? What if --
Then the leopard became a woman, to Cam's great surprise -- and relief. "Oh. Oh, thank God. Hi. Um, you're welcome."
This was now a socially awkward situation instead of a dangerous one, which was definitely better. Cam gave a nervous little laugh. "Wow, you scared me."
Which probably went without saying. It had been obvious, hadn't it? In hindsight, Cam felt sure that they'd looked ridiculous, but, well, they'd done their best. If she had been an actual leopard ... Maybe they should be more careful about wandering around alone.
