Kitty gives a little yelp of her own. That noise sounds so - human - and for a moment, she's reminded of that green monkey, coming after her and Jakob - which is a stupid thing to think and a stupid thing to be afraid of because that thing was a demon the size of a man and this is just a stupid little animal. But it still throws her off enough that her reflexes are just a little too slow. She just misses her chance to grab at it.

"Wait - " she cries as the monkey starts moving, like it's going to listen to her pleas.

There's no waiting.

The monkey, spooked and possessive, screams again and darts past Kitty. Not out the window, which might, perhaps, come as some surprise. That was the easiest escape route, after all. The monkey takes the dash at a lope, because the page is still clutched close to its chest, which leaves it with just one hand and two feet, and the tail for balance.

As it leaps off of the window ledge, the force of its kick-off jostles the stack that is the rest of the letters. In almost a solid block, they begin to tip over the window ledge.

The monkey, meanwhile, is on the carved back of the sofa, chattering angrily like Kitty needs scolding.
