[ annabeth notices wilhelm rushing closer to help, and the wolves glance at him shortly after. she knows he's not helpless, but it's still something instinctive in her to want to keep the attention on herself, so she yells again in hopes of keeping them focused on her. ]
[ she might not be expecting his apparent fire magic, but neither are the wolf monsters, so she doesn't bother leaving herself room to think it over. it's a distraction she can take advantage of. it's with some regret that she darts in swift and low to slash her sword at one of the creature's legs - the elevated aggression doesn't seem like it's their fault, but she doesn't want them to hurt the villagers either. if they can just convince them it's not worth the effort, maybe the wolves will just leave?? ]
