Herbalists' Cache in the running and slowing of time

Again she caught her balance after the chieftain shoved her. And again it was by sheer chance that she remained standing. 

She returned to her original stance again, and watched as the chieftain came at her - towards her shoulder, with a slam that nearly brushed the tips of her furs, then a sudden nip to her ear. All too quick to be dodged. A blur of motion, yet in full clarity - she knew very well that had Sun Eater wanted it, she would have been dead.

"Coxe." Again. 

She exhaled, envisioning an unknown strength giving her feet a lighter step. Attack not the shoulder this time, she decided. Claws dug into the ground; eyes locked on the target. Remember to jump back, fast enough to not be shoved.

Three swift motions. A step aside; then a lunge towards the flank; and finally, an attempt at a bounce back to recover.
