[Indignant rant interrupted by incoming nukebird! At first, Balin raises his pistol as she flies at him, trying to sidestep away from her flight path. His aim slowly lowers, though, when he sees just how different Utsuho's behavior is now. He lowers the pistol entirely when, watching Utsuho fly past him, he can see her shapeshifting. Is she really retreating?]
[He watches her flight for a few moments more ... Then his gaze turns to look in the direction of the street, where he notices the black splotches of blood still on the street, as well as the hell raven's weapon. The amputated arm is probably still inside ... Or maybe it shifted into a tiny wing? Either way, he's walking over to go pick up and examine the arm cannon while holstering the pistol.]
