Rufus wished he had a way to communicate with Thordis, Carmelita, and Tsolmon up above him, but he didn’t. They too might have been hit by the strafing beam of light from the mirror. They might have seen Rufus peering through his scope. In case they’d missed all that, he stood up, tapped the telescopic sight, and then used two fingers to pantomime looking down the valley. They had the binoculars with them. If they saw and understood the gesture, they might use those to see what he’d seen.
