VESPER
The snarl reaches him before the tiger does, and his shoulders tighten beneath the sudden, brutal shape of the sound. For an instant there is only noise, weight, and the instinctive understanding that whatever waits ahead is no longer waiting, and then the molten tiger breaks from the tangle of roots with its claws outstretched and hunger written through every line of its body. "Fuck," Vesper breathes, and vanishes into mist.
He reappears a few feet aside, close enough for the force of Danta’s leap to move the air against him, one boot sliding over damp earth. Any sensible man would have kept moving until there were several kilometres between himself and the enormous cat now occupying the space where he had just been standing, but arriving empty-handed because he had been startled by a predator wouldn't hold water with Jack. More than that, Vesper has no desire to spend the rest of the morning letting the Oerwoud decide how much of his patience it means to take, so, unwisely perhaps, he stays.
His shadows answer him in a rush, spilling up from his feet and drawing themselves high around his shoulders until his outline stretches larger against the dim glow of the undergrowth. They climb behind him in dark, wavering planes, widening his shape without quite becoming wings, while thinner strands snap outward to seize at roots, vines, and hanging leaves. The hollow stirs around him as if something much larger has begun to move through it, foliage shuddering in a widening circle while Vesper holds his ground with his chin slightly lifted and his pale eyes fixed on the tiger. "You fuck off now," he says, low and controlled, the drawl stripped nearly smooth by concentration as his fingers flex once at his side.
