Something could come from behind. The door could suddenly close behind one of them, splitting them up into easier pickings. There are plenty of things that could go wrong here, that could turn this rescue mission into a massacre. Jaye does not intend to let them happen.

She has weapons on her but keeps them tucked away, for now. Howly is stronger than those weapons and her ability to shapeshift is less likely to be used against her (though she certainly hopes no one has taught Morgoth how to use a handgun in his time on the ship). Her nails and teeth elongate further, sharpening and hardening into the claws of a grizzly bear, hair turning darker, though she still does not finish the shift. Instead she growls, signalling that she, too, is ready to move through the door. Howly stays by her side.
