S'kef's eyes flashed over to C'vir as the man spoke. His gaze was immediately drawn to the papers the other brownrider held, wondering when he'd dropped them and how long C'vir had them. S'kef grimaced and approached, reaching out to take the papers, attempting to snatch them from C'vir's hands. He didn't need to actually hold them to glance over them and see what they were, though. He would recognize R'nya's handwriting anywhere, and while the fact that such a document existed surprised him at first, he quickly realized it shouldn't have.
This was a problem.
"....I didn't," he grunted as he looked it over, a mildly disturbed expression lingering on his face for a moment. How could he have made such a blunder? How could something like this have gone overlooked for so long, and how could he have simply let it fall to the floor in the presence of some nosy kid? At least he wasn't technically lying, though. C'vir had asked if he knew about it, and well...he hadn't. There was no way of knowing how the young man would take S'kef's lingering pause and uncomfortable, almost angry expression.
"What a shame," he said, once again using the words in a much different context than one might expect. He sighed once, then summoned Flit to his shoulder to rest while he thought about what to do. He crossed his arms and cast a stern expression at C'vir. He waited, wondering how the young man would respond, and choosing to wait until he knew the answer before following up with comment of his own. This was a difficult matter...did he deny it, or did he own up to it? S'kef had no problem challenging the young brownrider, but he also saw no reason to blow his cover without cause.
Just how clever was this young man?
