*Samus approaches Verity among the branches, some fifteen feet above the ground. She notes with approval that her student is alert and aware, but is she remembering to look up? She approves, as well, of Verity's decision to remove the potential for distraction and collateral mishap from the field by sending Jim on ahead. Also, has Verity chosen ground far enough from the trees that Samus can't reach her with a single leap? They'll both find out. The raptor-cry as she lunges may possibly be for Jim's benefit.*
