What?
Then another figure stepped out of the alleyway closest to them. A girl, skinny, but not in the attractive way you saw in magazines. Spindly. Was that the right word?
Like a spider! 😀
Wait, is that word actually associated with spiders in English too? In Norwegian, one of the words for a spider’s web is spindelvev – essentially “spindle weave”.
Hm, looks like “spindle” is at least associated with threads made from fibers.
The girl was hard to make out in the gloom – there were no lights on the street, and the only light was what filtered from the moon and through the rain clouds.
I wonder if she’s in costume right now. If she isn’t, she’s made a bit of a mistake in not hiding better before using her power.
But yeah, Taylor’s costume is well suited for camouflage in the dark.
The girl glanced left, around the back of the truck, then glanced right, where she might have seen Shadow Stalker if she looked up just a little.
Probably the last person Taylor would like to see right now.
The lenses of her mask caught the moonlight, flashing a pale yellow.
Yep, costume confirmed. It was getting a little hard to defend Sophia not recognizing an uncostumed Taylor, even with the latter being “hard to make out in the gloom”.
Good to see you, Taylor. 🙂
