For Cassie the situation was a bit more awkward. Not so much because they'd suddenly been attacked from such an unexpected place, although she admittedly wasn't really accustomed to being attacked by skeletons, but because she was already in morph. Finding a place farther from the action, she quickly demorphed and remorphed into a wolf. Hopefully, that would be enough.

Growling, she ran forward and lunged, using her powerful jaws to grab the arm that Sofia was not dealing with and pulling back hard, trying to at least move the dead man away from her companions. < I'm sorry. > Her thought-speech was quiet as she spoke to their attacker. They were the invaders here after all. < We didn't mean to disturb your rest, but we had no choice. Please to return to where you belong. > She didn't know if there was any point in trying to reason with the dead hero, but it had to at least be worth a try. Her grip on the arm never loosened though as she pulled him back as hard as she could.
