I'm sure I've said this before, but Gid repeatedly referred to the shooter
with masculine pronouns.

Gid also said that it is easy for a shape-changer to slip back "down", so
easy that "werewolves have trouble maintaining their human forms at times."
(100) Getting hit in the face with a meat cleaver is pretty traumatic, quite
enough so, it seems to me, to lose control. Besides, within a couple hours
of the shooting, Margaret showed up at Cassie's place and had no visible
wound.
