“Her camouflage is, as Jade says, "honest work."”
A Canopy reptile of The Coils

She was born bright yellow in a clutch of green siblings and spent her youth convinced she was the family disappointment. Then a bird tried to eat her green brother and flew straight past her, mistaking her for a flower. She has never doubted herself since.
She works as the canopy’s lookout — nothing moves in her sector without her noticing. Her reports are terse, accurate, and occasionally devastating. "Hawk. Noon. Rude." is a complete report.
She is writing a field guide to being overlooked on purpose. Chapter one: "Be the flower." The whole canopy is waiting for chapter two. She says it’ll be ready when it’s ready.
“Jade woke with her white zigzags in a different order. Bristle counted twice, lash by lash. "They're spelling something," Jade said quietly, "and I'm afraid to read it." The order changed back by dusk. Nobody saw it happen.”
Jade's zigzags changed order.
Snakes: cobras, mambas, pythons, vipers, boas — the hood, the strike, the squeeze. Fifteen coils of patience and lightning, ruling the warm hours by waiting.
