Shoshannah . . . is not a studious sort, or a plotting, planning sort. Generally, she's impulsive and instinctive, and now is both the opposite and exactly the same. This time, she's in the locker room at a YWCA not terribly far from Kalen's warehouse, but far enough to not draw attention to it in case she's caught (again). She already has the feeling of eyes on her all the time, and those nightmares certainly don't help - the ones where sometimes she's the monster, or sometimes the monster gets her, or . . .
Anyway, there's preparation. There's making sure she's hidden as well as she can, of course - defense may not be her first choice, but she's not stupid either. So there's warding herself in her little space, and then there's the materials she needs for a scry. It's late, she's alone, she's so very lucky. A bowl and a bit of water for a window, and a coin to trace the letters, and after far longer than is comfortable, she can finally see. Again, she's caught - she can feel Joshua's eyes on her even as she's looking at him with other, more spiritual sight. This time, though, she manages to close her little window before he gets another talon into her.
And this time, she knows he's not just Joshua, knows for sure there's something vast and dark and evil there. It's not just a feeling, but knowledge without doubt.
