"I'm not a wherrybrain." Faredin protested automatically, matching Quenym's hushed tone. "And I never said what it was you did. You're the one who pointed to them!" It was a small but important difference, to his mind. And Quenym was the numbwit for sitting around watching them, anyway- just asking to get caught. And with him a candidate now, too!
His eyes jerked sideways at a muffled 'thump!' nearby to find a smug Bo perched atop a slightly mangled shoe. "Good boy." He praised the brown, figuring the firelizard deserved something for his trouble. He lifted Bo back up to his shoulder and picked up the shoe, letting it dangle from his uninjured hand.
"And I guessed 'cause you were just standing there, watching." He added to Quenym, logically. "Not acting surprised or doing anything to look busy. That's a giveaway, there." Faredin didn't do stupid pranks, but he was a champion of Not Getting Caught at what he did do. The others might laugh at him for it, for being a worrywart and fusspot and everything else, but he couldn't help thinking of the kind of stuff the rest forgot in the excitement of the moment.
Nonetheless, the boy waited watched Quenym impatiently, waiting for the older boy to lead the way to wherever he was gonna take them. Faredin didn't perpetrate much mischief, but he was definitely a sucker for knowledge. Did he have a secret hideout or something? That would be cool.
[Spoiler=OOC] If Quenym was doing something, let me know and I'll rewrite this. It wasn't clear in his post.
