[ The thrill of the hunt thrums through the bond, the two of them shifting to move as one organism, one heartbeat a steady thrum, the other a fluttering race - but in time, together, steady and sure. Whatever the Gnosia had done to them, drawing the predator instinct to the forefront - the harmony and synchronicity was purely them. Stronger together, always, than apart.
Claude manages a wheeling leap and Jim grins, pleased. It wouldn't be any fun if they had felled him so quickly! He's already adjusting his path, moving with practiced ease to jump up on the convenient, if not immediately obvious, alternate path - balanced debris, making for stepping stones across the trap. They're more for Jim than Spock, whose gait is more likely able to handle the wide gulf. Claude's gust of wind and water manages to splash him, slightly, but without contact with the frayed wires, it doesn't do much to slow him. ]
Come on, Claude, you don't like our company? [ Jim takes a one-two jump from a wooden crate, landing on Claude's side of the cleared area. Two more alleys lie - one to the left, one to the right - though what lays beyond is anyone's guess. Continue running, potentially into another trap - or turn and fight? ] And here I was, pleased to see you.
