As people kept finding her and pointing and talking, Mal tried to scurry into another dark spot with her best impersonation of a low slung lizard. Mal- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to spook her! It was just cake! Cazan's mind voice should have been a soothing relief to hear, but instead she felt another surge of guilt and fear. How could she prove she was sneaky enough for adventures now?! I just wanted to be sneaky and so I was practicing and Taith came and helped but I kept it a secret I told him you were just napping just like you told me and then he helped me with a disguise but now the disguise is too good and it's scaring people and I know you don't like it when I screech and that will make things scary but I want to because people are staring and some of them are scared and someone's angry but I'm not screeching yet because you said that scares people and I want to go home but if I move they'll see me.
There was a moment of uncomfortable silence as she felt Cazan try to sort through everything. You said they already saw you?Yes I'm sorry my disguise is too good, Taith did a really good job because he is the best brother, but I have to hide now. Okay, shhh, if they already saw you then it's fine if they see you again. You can just go back to our weyr and curl up inside. I'm on my way back, I'll be there soon.
Someone was starting to get a little close and that gave Mal the panic she needed to launch herself into the air as hard and quick as she could, getting up high and away from everyone before landing on her ledge with a skid. She scrambled inside and ran into her wallow, her tail swinging out to collide with bits of loose furniture, sliding it all in front of her in a pile that she could try to hide behind as she waited.I'm sorry. We were being so sneaky though before we got caught. ...yes, getting caught is usually want ends the sneaking. I'll see you soon, Mal.
Now that she felt at least a little bit safe she tried reaching back out to her brother to check on him.Are you safe? Are you in trouble? I'm sorry I wasn't sneaky enough and we got caught.
