“Right,” Tattletale answered. She looked for Skitter and spotted her in the jumble of people, on her hands and knees in the receding waters from the tidal wave. The girl stood, coughed a few times, water spraying from the fabric of her mask, then turned her attention to surveying the scene in that peculiar way she did.
Eyy, it’s the last chapter down there! *waves*
So that means Leviathan is about to claim his first victims among the capes.
Skitter was so focused on the scene that she didn’t even seem to notice the bugs congregating around her.
Huh, yeah, I don’t recall that being mentioned last chapter.
More than one out-of-town cape gave her a weird look when a bug flew by, to settle on a wall or somebody’s shoulder, but the girl was oblivious. Maybe she was so used to being self conscious and imagining people avoiding her or looking at her funny, she couldn’t see it when it was real.
Hah.
So Skitter seems to be subconsciously doing her usual tactic of placing bugs on everyone so she can track them. Interesting.
Funny, that Skitter had turned her ability into such an effective tool for sensing and assessing her environment, yet she was so unaware of some things.
Hehe.
