“No, I don’t think he would. Her talents are too valuable for him. But that doesn’t explain your attitude lately.”
I shook my head. “I-”
I stopped and raised one hand. Sierra was outside, not too far away, and there was a small group of people around her. What had gotten my attention was the fact that she was tapping her finger against the origami cube. She’d wanted to signal me without doing anything overt, maybe.
…um. Citizens, perhaps, wanting Skitter’s attention and going to the redhead they’d seen going around gathering information for her?
The tapping would then be because she didn’t want Skitter to attack the people.
Or without my calling a swarm down to her location.
“-Something’s going on outside. Come with?”
Sounds good.
Brian nodded.
I headed upstairs and got my costume on in record time. I couldn’t help but note how dusty it was from last night’s encounter, and how the one arm was still crusty with old containment foam.
Alright, that confirms it – it wasn’t called attention to (maybe meaning it’s happened before, offscreen), but Sierra has now seen Skitter out of costume.
