She still doesn't understand. Good thing I have plenty of experience in the art of being misunderstood. I'm not the kind of guy to just give up on a cause -- far from it -- but I'm running out of ways to phrase this. And yeah, repetition is one of the key components of learning, but it's also really annoying. Probably not the best course of action I should be taking right about now, even though it's one of my favorites.
"You're moving," I tell her, all business. I've yet to move from my spot, not having done so much as scratch my nose in the past five minutes. I'm used to being still. Lying in wait's one of those handy things I've picked up over the years, but Peter Parker's supposed to be clumsy -- only way to explain why I look like an extra from Fight Club half the time -- so it's not something I tend to do out of costume. I haven't worn the Spidey suit in months, sure, but it's like riding a bike -- you never forget. "Norman likes to work through official channels... He'll check council records, housing requests, newspapers, etc. No one can know where you are. You can't keep a pattern, can't make it so he can expect you in such and such a place at such and such a time." I wait a beat, eyes flicking towards her. "You getting all this or should I write it down?"
