Taylor takes the part about Stacia being a werewolf with the casual air of someone who has heard about something like that before. True, she hadn't ever met a werewolf, but there are parahumans who, to some extent ranging from better senses to body parts to unfortunate mutations, have animal traits. It's easy to frame someone being a werewolf as just one parahuman just like those.
"I'm Taylor Hebert. Nice to meet you."
Stacia seems friendly, but Taylor doesn't offer a handshake and the such -- she has known a lot of people who don't like such contact. Taylor definitely has her guard up but is willing to reach out, if not with her hand then at least with a conversation!
After a moment, she does give a glimpse of the string tied to her hand.
"Ever saw anything like this? It's like nothing I have faced before."
Okay, it definitely is an effect of the string that she used the verb 'faced' instead of 'seen' or anything similar. Takes her a second to realize what she just said, and her face gets a little bit tense. True, no superpower she has fought against has used anything like this, but this whole day she has been trying hard to keep hidden she's a parahuman.
