Kana, who had been lazily lounging with a bow across her lap, watched as he leaned further and whistled through his teeth.
That sound meant real trouble.
She moved slightly, her fingers brushing against his arm as she gestured for the binoculars.
"Here you go." He passed them to her, and she raised them to her eyes, adjusting the focus carefully.
As the ruined structure came into sharp view, her face drained of color.
Her mouth parted slightly at the sight before her.
"That's a jumper..."
"A jumper?" Luck echoed.
"See the legs?" she handed him back the binoculars.
"Look at those thighs—twice the width of the upper body. It can jump a wall easily. "
The Jumper stood still, shifting its weight from foot to foot like a spider monkey on Adderall.
Its mottled blue-gray skin stretched over cords of muscle and bone. Long arms hung behind it like loose whips.
Kana exhaled, then reached for Luck's sleeve, almost unconsciously. "This is the first time I've seen it personally."
